A squinting.-Mr. Randolph having turned his back upon the Ancient Dominion, we perceive that the Richmond Enquirer ventures to administer a gentle rebuke for "the unbecoming state of excitement," exhibited "on too many occasions of late." The Enquirer censures his attack upon the editor of the Boston Centinel, and also upon Mr. Lloyd. His "rifle," the editors say, "wanders too often from the object in view, and is pointed at game which he ought not to have noticed." We are glad that Virginia begins to be ashamed of her representative, and trust that she is preparing at the next election to let him down gently into the retirement of Roanoke.
