Il was The duty ofthat House TO look abroad through
The land, and 10 get the best individual they could
select. The acknowledged importance OF INC or
dce made this their peculiar duty.


II the objections 10 MIR. Randolph were properly
sppreciated, he appfehentsd that no gentleman,
disposed to promote the honour OF his country WOULD
vote for him. He commented on the importance
of the Office and described the character OF such
man as he thought, ought to I'LL It The Senate ol
The United States had been the most august and
dgnifisd body in the world, until Mr. X. was elect

Justly proud Of il. But, if the accounts oi Mr. Rs
conduct in that body were 10 be believed, It no long
er possessed that dignity and elevation OF character
On one occasion, it was said, he strewed his papers
all over the floor and prohibited any body from
touching ,hem-on another, he undressed aud dres
ssd himself in the Senate Chamber. MIR. X. ne

ed that there ought to be disguise on such
subject as this. The conduct Of Mr. r. had done
more in the las. twelve months. 10 bring disgrace
on our country and its institutions than all the enc.
mics OF the country put together MIR. Il. had
avowed himself to be the common defsmcr ol all
the good and great men Of the land. He insanced
Mr. RS course towards Mr. Holmes OF Maine,
last winter, in which MIR. r called him liar, fool,
thief, sc. sc. But aho was MIR. H.? During the

With all his eoquence and influence. Where then
was Mr.. r. He wa. iound in opposition TO lhe
war or reposins in security at his principaity on
the Roanoke. Mr.. r. had also spoken in the
hatshes, terms Of Mr.. Gilea, calling him scoun,
drel, pimp, SC. Mr.. M said he was a, loss how

who had uttered whsssNWss not true. MIR. X. had
even attacked the memory Of the dead (; he had
abused DR.. Rush, calling him an apostaie, and cast
ing odun on his memory IN other respects. The
reputation Of DR.. r. he said would live when that
nf Mr. r.. would be forgotten. Mr.. Monroe's
character had been alao wsn.only attacked that
ed Hers oil The Revolution, who had so long
and faithfully served his country. He would not
refer to wha, had been said OF the President and
his cabinet. The day might come when il would
be regretted tha, the d ,nunciaton Of such men had

would come too late. MIR. Randolph had called The
Declaration Of Independence fanaronade OF non
sense. Could those who admired that immortal in.
stiurnent and yenerated its ustrious author, vote
for Mr.. r.? Suppose that du'ing the war, ", "
England Senator had done all tha, Mr.. Z has done

He had boastcd Of his British blood ~ and had Ia

The opposition to Mr. r. it was said, was Qot 10
by the Fedefasts He asked gentlemen TO look
around, and see It many Federast, would moi yote
for him. This was all right. Turn aed turn about
was fair play. He had supported the FederaIsts
during the war and It was but air that hey should
support him nov. But what he asked, was Re
publican! According 10 The vocabulary of the
Richmond Party, Il wa ore who could repeat
sting OF principles nat he did rot understand, and
follow his leadsrs wherever they might conduct
him. Mr.. Aloore's definition Of Republican, he
said was man who acted for himself and did wha,

had been sald again, that the opposition was got up
BY the Administration Such, he believed wa. moi
The Tact. II was true, he had voted Tor Mr. Adams
and should probably do so again. But he would be
willing TO see the whole Administration tuI md out
