WORCESTER, (Mass.) Nov. 11.

Mr. Randolph's vindication of his resignation is now in the press, and will shortly be published.— But the people of the United States will certainly consider it as singular, that the Copy Right of an Appeal to themselves, from one of their public officers, in vindication of his own conduct, should be secured, so that the information, necessary to enable them to judge of the rectitude or criminality of his conduct, must become an article of considerable expense to them, though perhaps of emolument to him. It is the more peculiarly extraordinary, as there is not, perhaps a printer of a newspaper on the Continent, who would not willingly have published his vindication, gratis, for the satisfaction of his customers. We have repeatedly observed, that the affair was involved in mystery; and we confess we do not yet find it less so; and if we ever should, from any statement of Mr. Randolph's, we are not likely to be at liberty to unravel it to our readers. We will, however, publish, from the advertisement (Mr. Randolph's printer, the following Letter, (the Copy Right of which is not yet secured,) that we may throw all the light upon the subject in our power.
