The National Republican And Ohio Political Register

MR. RANDOLPH.— The Intelligencer has given us the first of the series of Mr. Randolph's speeches, about one half of which is from a copy revised by the orator, and the other half published from the notes of the reporter. From comparing the two parts together, we infer that the report is exceedingly accurate. In point of style, arrangement and coherence, or rather incoherence of the argument, there is scarcely a perceptible difference between the two parts of the speech: none certainly which would have attracted our notice in a cursory reading. In this view, the speech is highly creditable to the reporter, more so, we think, than to the Speaker.

We have read before, the pretended sketches of Mr. Randolph's speeches in the Democratic Press. Unfavorable as our opinion may be of the speeches, taking this as a specimen, we think still worse of this pretended sketch taker. His reports are not broad caricatures, but gross and wilful misrepresentations, more reprehensible if possible than the speeches themselves.

Whatever may be Mr. Randolph's faults, nothing is gained to his enemies by overcharging their caricatures until all resemblance is lost.
