with the ahieat man i.-: Wasbingti

man was much admired bj ilaiidl
who, labia will paid him the -higher

kno The feci that Macon had
opposed the adoption of the Dunstitu
tion en tbevgronnd th.-.t it gave t
naneb power to the ;'"''':' o' govem
isent was sufficient to endeaewhlm t
this ardent Virginian, w ho was always
protesting against it eggreaslona.
liefore I visited Mr. Raedolpfa
again I had listentsl with admiration
to his worderful improvisations in
the .Senate, and had determined t., '
get at his views about the oratory of j
Patrick Henry, of which I had heard
Jebn Adams apeak in terms .f dis-;
paragemr nt. I accordingly put a
question which I supposed would ejl
out panegyric upon the orator of
Virginia. I asked who was tin
greatest orator ho had ever heard.
The reply was startling from iu un
expectedness. "The greatest orator
ever heard," said Randolph, was
woman. She was a slave. She w as
a mother and her rostrum was the
auction block." lie then arose and j
imitated with thrilling pathos the
tones with which this woman had
I
appealed to the sympathy and justice
of the by-standers, and finally t lie in
dignation with which be denounced
them. "There was eloquence V be
said. "I have hoard no man speak
like that. It was overpowering!"
He sat down and paused for some
moments; then evidently feeling that
he had been imprudent in expressing
himself so warmly before a visitor
from the North, ho entered upon a
defense of the policy of the Southern
statesmen in regard to slavery. "
must concern ourselves with what is,"
he said, "and slavery exists. Wo
must preserve t Vie rights of the states,
as guarauteed by the Codstitution, or
tho negroes are at our throats. The
question of -lavery, as it is culled, is
to us a question of life and death.
Remember it is a necessity imposed
on the South ; not a Utopia of our
own seeking. Yen will find n in
stance in history where two distinct
races have occupied tbewiil except In
the relation or master and :a"." I
brought away only these few frag
ments of an elaborate defense of the
course which he and other Southern
ers felt compelled t pursue ; but
they give its nature with sufficient
clearness.
I again ventured to touch upon the
subject of oratory, and this time Mr.
Randolph broke into a disquisition
upon the nature of the illustrations
which a speaker might draw from
literature. I regret (hat I CftU eivo
so little of What hp said ; but so much
as i have preserved i substantially
iu his own words ; "It is i grant
blunder for n Speaker to allud" to
ImoUs which are !. familiar lo his
audience. A Quotation from Horace
Or Juvenal will do in the Itrilih Pac-
I lament. Tho members are i: tl grad
nates from Oxford and Cambridge
and they understand It. Dut what
folly it would bo to quote the dames
to nn average American audience. I
know of only three books with which
all decently educated Americans urn
familiar. Thane am theIttJbte,8haa -peat)
and Milton. s.w, I arant you
to net ice a fine paasage from Burke,
which I repeat and you will find thai

these three books in Its construction. 1
lr. Randolph then recited the foil -ing

When the table had been cleared

with a crash that jarred the house.
The woman cracked her heels together
