I once more write you from this
miferablr wilderness, which cultom
makes US call cty, to give you
faint idea Of the clo6ng fc@ne in Con-
grefs this fefiion. fay faint idea,
becaufe il is impo0ible to give you a
perfect Retch of the difgracefu! pro-
ceedings Of the houfe.


"Our leaders are as bad as the
French, but our rabble arc not 70 ma
ny" This remark has been verified,
frequently during the prefent reign
of democracy very often this lef-
fon, and mott empha,ically laa ev-
ening.


The houfe did not rife until II
O'Clock at night, and though thsy
were in fellion 70 late, much bu6nels
was left un6niihcd. Indeed if they
had been inclined to do buiinefs, :be
confuiion would have prevented.
Order ! Order Order were the
only words heard, for comfortable
portion of tie evening.


MIR. John Randolph WIS uncom-
monty cool and conciliatory. He
had hoped that notwithstanding the
afperity of many remarks during the
flGon, Copgrefs would diiIolve in
order, in union of fentiment and
without any difcordant appearances.
But he was fadly disappointed and
very much regretted the condua of
the Houfe.


Mr.. T. M. Randolph, having ia.
ken offence at fome remarks of Mr..
!. Randolph, either that day, or at
fome previous time, came forward
in daring manner. He faid he per-
fe6tly undcrftood the nature and dif-
petition Of the gentleman from Viz
ginia. That he had been llent
fpeaator, but as the feillon was a.
bout clo6ng, he woald not 60 before
he had endeavoured to efface the
itiema, which he conceived that
gentleman had endeavoured to fix on
him. That although their was an
immeafurable diitancs betwcen them
as 70 talents, he con6dered himfelf
fuperiour in patriotifm. That that
cntleman had faid things in that
houfe which he dare not repeat out
of il; had pointed remarks to nem-
bers in Congrefs, which he dare not
fay 10 them in private, and had be-
haved improperly on many oceafions.
That he had no decided averfion TO
quarrelling and knew the implements
4. well as that gentleman. Steel,
powder, lead and flint were fuch
implements as he liked, and fuCh as
he fhouId always have by him, &c.
All this time the Speaker more re-
fembled ghoft than man, for he
could fay nothing. Mott OF the
demos were highly pleafed, this
fpeech being expected. When Mr..
T. Randolph lat down, ]. Randolph
and his friend Gamet went out, and
In f,oft time I. r. was called out.
He returned and faid, he underftood
the gentleman from Virginia had not
de6gnatsd him in any of mis- remarks,
therefore be was ferry he had made
ufe of fuch harfh and intemperate
language. III


Old Findley likewife hickup'd up
a Phillippick againft Randolph at
fome length, giving his reafons for
not voting with him on certain oc-
cations. Findley was as boozy as a
