Reininiscenees and Farts connected with the Life of the late John Randolh.-On a bright sunny morning, early in Feb. 1796. might have been seen entering our book store, in Charleston South Carolina, a fine looking, florid complexioned old gentleman with hair us white as snow which contras ted with his complexion.shewed him to have been a free liver, or hon airant, of the first order; along with him was a tall, gatkv looking. flaxened haired stripling, apparent ly of the age of from sixtecn to eighteen, with a coipilexitn of a good p archment color, beardless chin, and as much assumed self-conseaiuence as any two footed animal we ever saw ; this was John Raudolih. We handed him from the shelves volume after volume, which ihe tumbled carelessly over and handed back again; at length lie hit upon something that struck his finiy-. our eye happened to be fixed upon his face at the moucnt, and never dlid we witness so sudden. so perfect a change of human countenance ; that which before was dull and heavy in a ntintCnt buennie aninmted, sud flashed with the brightest beams ofin telleet, lie ste;ped up to the grey haired old man and giviig himta thudering slap on the shoulder, said, "Jack, look at this !" We were young then, but we never can forget the thiotughit that rushed upon onr muind at the moment, whtich was. that lhe was the tmost inmpudent youth-we ever saw, lie haol come to Charlestont tontend the races. T1here was then living in Chiarlestoni, a Sentehi barottet, by the namo of' Sir John Nesbit, with his younger brother Alexander of the ancientt flouse of Nesbits of D~ean Hall, somie fifteen mtiles froi minturg. Sir Johtn was a very handsomie man, amtd as gallant, gay Lothatrio"aus could be found in the city. lIe and Randolph hecame in giniate, whtich led to a banter betwveen themn for a race, in whtichi each was to ride hts owar horse. The race camue ont dutring the race week, and Randolph won-somte la dies exelaiming ait the titme, "'though Mr. Raitdolph hiadt Won the race, Sir Johntl woin their htearts." Thtis wats not so) muchel to h~e wondteredl at, whent they contrasted the ele gaint formi amd gruacefutl'stylo of riding ofthe IHarottet, with the untoth and awkwaied mnnner of his competitor. Some two or three years after this visit to Charlestoit. lie was elected a membeltr of Congress, and such was still his v'outhfutl appearance, that wvhen lie appmeared at thte clerk's tuable to qualify, that getlemait could not refrain fromt asking him his ago ; thte answer wats prompt if not satisfactory "ask in constituents, sir," was the re; dy. JTohn Adrams waa then P'residentt, antd 14r. lRant~lohph took a decided part against htis administration. Contgress was then sitting in Philadel >hiia. and M r. Adams' "hot wa ter war wit i France," being then on thte tapis, thte latitude Mr Randolpht'gave htis tne in debate, occasioned his being as satttedh in the lobby of the theatre, by an oflteer of the army or navy, we do0 nor re colleet which or whio be as. but Mr. hn. dolph trade a formal complaint, which, to n the best ofour memory, met with but a cold r reception. Party runs high enough now, and much too high for the good of the coun- s try-but he, who supposed it never rose v higher; knows nothing of the period to which g we allude. e Among the members of Congress, Mr. t Randolph had but few personal ftiends.but t those few he "riveted to his soul with hooks of steel." Among them was the lion. Mr. Bryan from Georgia; the late Governor a David R. Williams, of South Carolina, and 7 the venerable Nathaniel Macon, of North k Carolina. At the close of the session, soon c after the removal of Congress to Washing ton, the former of those gentlemen, (Mr. t Bryan) married a daughter of Gen. i'ore nan, of Maryland, and with her, and her I sister, spent some days in Charleston, when f on their way to his estate in Georgia. On this occasion, Mr. Bryan sheved us a letter t which he had just received from Mr. Ran dolph, congratulating him upnn his mar riage. A letter of more beautiful simplici ty and feeling we never read. We recol- M lect that, while the writer dwelt upon the a happiness and advantages to he expected I| from wedded life, he spoke leclingly of never d expecting to enjoy them himself. The Yazoo fraud, a greater than which a ever disgraced the annals of a state or na- i tion, came hefo-e Congress about this tine. I We are acquainted with some of the nietari ous transactions which gave rise to this stu- d pettious villainy. In 1794, a number of men in Georgia, joined by some in South s Carolina, calling themselves the Yzoo company, applied to the Legislature ofGa. in 1795, for a grant of an immemi,e tract of territory, to which site had no right, and t over which she had no jurisdiction: but the men who formed this company were not to I lie easily put ol, and a title from some Legislature was indispensible to the success t oftheir scheme. They effected by bribery the accomplishment of their object ; it be- c came a matter of notoriety that the whole t Legislature, were bribed to grant the title e'" for, but which they had nn right to Which it had been puny,"^," who purm millions of dollars of these lands, knowuin . them to have been fraudulently obtained. I We were ins G~eorgia the next year, 1796, 1 when the new Legislature,. who had heen a elected with a direct view to this subject, t having assembled at the seat ofgoverntent and taking the necessary preliminary steps, s went im grantid procession, with their respec tive oflicers at their head, and burnt, by the s hands of the common hang-man, the record c of the infamous proceedings of their imme- t diate predecessors ; and with them, the in- : famous grant itself. The Yazoo claim was s by the New England Mississippi Land Com pany, to recover from Congress, the value the lands so obtained ; and it was in opposi- r tion to this application, that Mr. Randolph t iinmtortalized himselfiin speeches that will s stand "the test of time, of scrutiny. and of a talent." It was regularly brought forward t nt every session, and as regularly defeated by htin. The late Gen. Vade llampton and O'Brien Smith, were both elected to Congress, with a sole view of carrying i through this unrighteous measure; and it 4 was during its discussion one dIv, when n they were in the house, that Mr. Randolph a made the withering remark, which rung t through the Union at the time. Shaking i his long, lank finger at Mr. Hampton, 'e it exclaimed at the top of his voice, "Mr. s Speaker, I hope, sir. to see the day, when a \azoo claimant and a villain, will be sy- I nonvmous terms." On the evening follow 1 ing, Mr. Ilamptton hutndled up his papers I and waited on Mr. Randolph, whose first salutation on the occasion was, "have you come for peace or for war.' For peace, was the reply, or I .houtl nt bring the e papers. In ant evil htour, Mr. Ran dolphil was left nut, atnd before his re-electioti, the hill was past, anad the rohhIery contstmmsa tedl, to thet amnotitt of$,000l,000. A n event which conhli not have taken place whilst he had a seat in that house. .Mr. It andoAlilt was al ways eceentric, and mn the latter part of his life at times, insane. We witnssed an itnstance of it, in IBalti noure, in the spirinig oif 18~20, when lhe rude it an open chair, with a doiuble barrel gun beside him., to make a morlning entl, and marde hisi fasithftul Jubn~ take th gnun inato ste hutse after him. A few days afler, he took passage on a steamt boat, at Baltimtore, fur Norfolk: here his insanity shtewed itself in a manner none conl dotubt. There was a Frenich gentleman, panssenger on~ionrd, to whlomu ho took a-great dlislike, and callinig for his gun, he took possession of the caint dhoor, tand winl not allow the passenger, who was on deck, to re-enter the cabin. IHis insatnity att this time. wvas knownt to, and spoken of bmy tany. No man of a great and a sane mind, suech as Mr. Ranidolph's had becen, could. while in a santo state, he guilty of such conduct, as occasionially marked his course, dutrinig his short embassy to Russia. It was genernily uindersteood, that lhe wsvs disappointed matty years ago, in not receiv irng the aippoiunenst of Mitnister to England anid that from this disappointment, andu the ehngr in conscquneat upon it, sprunn all those ecceeettites which marked his erratic course ini afer life. This wvas his imisfor ttne, not his fault, Ie wvas a republican in tiheory, lint ans aristocrat in practice, as his wvhole life abundatly prmved, ie possessed a tmid fertilized by every strenm of Litera. ture. btut tho use bie mbd, of hin ntcie hents, were rather calculated to make ene ties than friends; and yet, as he once suid, no man was ever blessed with such con tituents." A fact, which of itself, speaks olumes in his praise. If heorigir ated no eat national good, he prevented many vils; and in doing so, became the benefitc ir of his country, although not to the e )nt he otherwise might have been. Age of Early Risers.-The following is catalogue of above twenty early risers. 'heir age has been mentioned, when it wia nownD. 'rhe average age, so far as as ertaimed, is about 70.
