Tiie bodies of Samuel Sayre, Esq. and his wife, who resided abon.*, a miie east of Morris town, N. J., were ftymd about six o’clock, yes terday mornine, buried beneath a heap of nia- nuro in the harn yard ; and upon examination ol the pvenffses, the colored servant woman was rjso found dead in her bed in the attic ato- of tho dwelling house, Mr. and Mrs. Sayre had evidently bean ki led i; the biru, by meins of a hatchat, which wisfo.i il with con siderable blood upon it, there also being blood upon the barn floor, which was traced to the manure heap, where their .bodies were found covere 1 up—their bodies being shockingly .cut and mangled; Tiie servant woman had appa*t rently been stabbed with some sharp pointed instrument in the sidu of the bead, about tiie temple, while laying asleep.' These constitu ted a!! tha inmates of the house at the time of die murder, with the exception of a Swiss labor er, who had been employed by Mr. Sayre about three weeks previously ; and not being found about the premises at tho time the bodies were dicovered, suspicion was immediately excited that they had been murdered with a via*v to plunder the house, and that the Swede labor er was the monster who perpetrated the hor rid crime. Upon the examination of tho premises, their suspicions were more than confirmed, when they ascertained that the desks and drawers had been broken open and rifled, and a favor ite horse o! Mr. Sayre missing from the stable. Infurmntion ol the murder was immediately conveyed to Morristown, when fife whole of that peaceful yillaga was thrown into conster nation at the unexpected intelligence, and hun dreds instantly volunteered to scoured the country in pursuit of tho perpetrator—hand hills were also struck off and circulated de tailing tho murder and describing the person of the laborer, several of which reached this ci ty yesterday forenoon and were placed in the hands of the police officers. Ho was pursued jon the road towards this city, by Mr. Liidiow, ‘the sheriff of Morris county, and we are happy to learn, was arrested about two o’clock in the afternoon at a small tavern midway between New Ark .and Jersey City, somctimfcs called til- half way House, but more.generally known as the “Musqnito Tavern.” When arrested, a new suit of wearing apparel, belonging to Mr. Sayre was found on his person, including his hat, in which the owner’s name was written, together with his gold watch and a considera ble quantity of silver, which had been taken out of the house. . The person apprehended, whose name we have oScn unable to learn, as we are informed by a relative cf Mr. Sayre, had been only in Ins employ about three weeks. He had been seen qt Morristown as late as 9 o’clock on Saturday night, and from the circumstanco of Mr. Sayre, when found, having his boots oft; which it was his usual custom to take off and substitute slippers, after the labors of tho day, it is presumable that ho was waiting up for liis lah'irei' and was murdered immediately upon his return home. What cir'-umsiaiiccs lod Mr. Sayre to go to th° barn, of course can* only, be known to the perpetrator of the murder; but there is reason Uu Tuesday the Grand Jury met, received their charge from Chief Justice Horn blower, ami at o the same afternoon came into court with a true j bill against Clough. l!o was immediately taken u ; from tho prison, to the court house, attended by au immense concourse ol’straugers and citizens, and placed at the bar. The indictment was read to him by John White Attorney General for the State, alter which the usnaljrjuestiph was inked as to in* gujli or innocence, to winch he replied in a faint voice, scarcely audible to half of those present, “1 aiu not guilty.” The Court House, as you way Well suppose," was crowded to suffo- • auou liy those whom curiosity had drawn to the spot. Clough w as dressed in a shit of deep black loo well befitting his most unhappy situation , liis appearance was pale and emaciatetl, no doubt the co.iseq ieiice "of sleepless nights and .equally hapless Hay s, yet his w hole demeanor during the short time lie appeared iu court, was remarkably proper, being modest,, yet manly, and free from any trepidation whatever.

Virginia was to liiur a sentiment—a feeling—a passion-—-n mistress—a*lover—all that lie cared for,--and all that he valued in life. Horses, society', foreign travel and adventure occasionally call ed forth his attention and his resources—but all these occupations were merely interludes to tho great drama of Virginian ascendency, which perpetually haunted his imagination, and some times reached his heart. There was no man that could wield the popular enthusiasm of the “Old Dominion” with tho wizard power that John Randolph could. He was indeed capri cious as a lover, and so was his mistress—but on great emergencies they were always found locked in each other’s arms. Ilis influence o- ver his immediate constituents was unbounded. “Do you intend to come to Congress again ?” asked a gentlman of his immediate predecessor, Judgo Bouldin. “I can’t tell—it depends whether Mr. Randolph wants to run or not.” “But wc must close this brio*’sketch of the character _ of John Randolph ; a man that, “take him for all in all,” shall not look upon his like again during the present cen/ury. He belongs not to the useful class of leading spirits; Ilis region was mind—imagination—ornament —eloquent. His intercourse in private socie ty was fascinating as his public speaking.

This of itself is a stron^ -^ C °* nient in favor of giving every county, htnr sparse its population maybe, au equal in the Senate. It is expedient to have the ^ ritory organized into counties; and it i s Ue ° ^ Cf ' ry for the protection of all, that the rights of ea t should be protected. a We have sccn,ipublished in the .Recorder, aud republished in other Anti-RodiuMtou'nevrspapers, sundry tables contrasting several of the Senatori al Districts, as respects tho number of voters, the number of representative population,- ahd the fiumber of free white persons—by which it ap? pears, that grqat jucq/t i'iity exists in the numeri cal strength of the districts; aud au attempt is thereby made, to throw odiufti Upon the Conven tion as the authors of such inequality. ’That the Senate, under the proposed amend ments, will represeut the people in ibe aggregate equally, is not couteuded for by any one. The Senate of this state, like that of tiie United States has always represented cotmmmitics, or corpo rate bodied, and not people: The smallest couqjy in the state having the same influence iu the Seitato as tiie largest. As, in the U. St Se nate the .little, stato of Dele ware has as many votes as the great* state of-Ncw York. Whether this plan is the most equitable that could bo a dopted we shall not undertake to say. v It- is.the plan that has beeu sanctioned by the fathers of tho government, has been found convenient in practice, and has become familiar aud popular by usage. So’it -will be seen that whuff ver errors the territorial basis, as it is called, may have, they cannot be attributed to the late Convention. In putting two.sqqntjcq together .to form a dist rict, without, regard to size or population, they ac ted upon the principle long established and ap proved, that every comity great or small,, rich or poor, should stnnd upon tho same footing ic the Senate. This plan may have its inconveniences, but it also has its advantages. Evc-y county has a good deal of local business, which cannot he so well understood by a member residing out of the c.ouuty. Every county-has ils Academy, and every Senator is a member of the Sennlus Aca- demicus. Non if four or five counties were for med into a district, and ilicsc counties 40 or 60 miles square, what time would a Senator have between his election aud his meetiug at the Cap itol, to asccriain the wishes of Ins constituents, much less the siuiatiou of the schools amt acade mies, jn his.district, whic/l he is obliged to’com- municate to flic legislature ? v The people iu their aggregate capacity have little to do iu the legislature. It is as communi ties, corporations, or counties, that they feel the most interest. They vote by counties, aud by cofintiesthey wish to be represented.. Even the plan proposed by the minority,'""adop ted tho same principal of territorial basis, only* differing from that of tho majority in the she of the districts—it providing for putting t/iree coun ties together, instead of two. Though the District composed of ITnll and Jackson may have a larger population, or pay a greater tax than tho district composed of Ware and Lowndes, yet ia point of territory the Tatter district ii the largest. And as it is impossible to have the districts precisely equal every way, let the disadvantage one labors under in one respect be made up by its advantages in another respect. Though Morgan atid Putn-un have a representa tive population of I2,S96, it is compacted upon a territory of only’ about fifty square miles. While Ware aud Lowndes with which they are coutras- tc:T, have a • representative population of 3,492, scattered oVcr a territory of444 square 'miles! -THE GOVERNOR.
