Mr.. Observation-Disclosures Meeting
Roanoke, we learn is off to Washing.
ton--we presume, to throw the weight of
his influence, like the sword of Brennus,
into the scale of Nullification-no, he 'sut.
terly reprobates" that; but Secession,
which bears about the same relation to
Modification that laudanum does to rum.
The one is slow poison-thc other quick;
and Roanoke prefers that which will kill
soonest.
Previously to starting for Washington,
he threw aside his bed and crutches, and
visited buckingham courthouse, about
80 miles from his domicile. Last Mon
day, we learn, was perfect jubilee "a
mong his 'dear constituents" who, like
their Representative, have no parallel
but IN themselves-we mean, of course,
in their capacity of constituents-for, as
to other matters, we suppose they are
like other people; will laugh ifyou tickle,
| and bleed if you prick them.
Mr.. Randolph, accompanied by his
half brother, Judge Beverly Tucker, of
Missouri, appeared on the court green,
| armed with string ofresolutions, which
we have not seen, but which are similar,
we presume, In tone and temper, to those
which were adopted in Charlotte county,
at his instance-in behalf which he ad.
dressed the assembled multitude in long
and characteristic Speech. In the course
OF his harangue, he uttered, as usual,
many ''wise saws" some of which con-
vtlsed the good people of Buckingham
with laughter by the humour, and others
again electrified them by their eloquence.
We are told that he denounced Mr.. Ritch-
lie Get tn Brntet as a man whose s'princi-
pies consist in the five loaves and two
fishes;" and said that Mr.. Peasants and
himself had given each other some hard
blows, but that was all past,-and that
the Editor of the Wing was a glorious
fellow.
He said not word, as far as we could
learn, about the JefIersonian, which was
rather ungreatful, since Mr.. Crale nursed
Notification when it was but sickley,
pulling infant, whereas Mr.. Peasants a.
bused it until it became stout enough to
walk, and even to brandish wooden
sword, and then took upon himself the
guardianship of the urchin, as if it were
his own progeny! This is the way ofthe
world, however: one man shears the sheep,
and another runs off with the wool.
What do Mr.. Randolph and those who
sent him, expect from his visit to Wash
lngton! DO they hope to drive Gen. Jack
son from the doctrines of the Proclama.
ton! induce him to publish a recantationi
ana burn the offending hand which gave
currency to the heresiesl Vain hope, if
they do. The eloquence of Mr.. RAN
dolph, however potent it may be in Buck
| ingham and Charlotte, will fall upon deaf
ears in the White House. The interview
between Old Hickory and his quondam
Ambassador will be worth seeing-Ifsome
Hogarth can get peep at them, while it
lasts, his pencil will find an immortalizing
DEMONSTRATING Vjrginian.
In neighbouring Church in South Caro-,
lima, their preacher recently, on the Sab
bath day too, told his congregation, Che
was preaching politics not religion, that
he would rather come down from the sa.
cred place where he was standing, and
fight with them, Tin the cause ofnullifca-
tion) than dispense the breadof everIast-
ing life. His audience elapped their
hands, stamped and shouted, as in a the
