Third near Arch street. On Tuesday he.rode out in a hack,and on his return was sp.feeble as to be obliged to taken to bed. Without any personal acquaint men with Mr. llan dolph, but being an admirer of his politi cal e-onsisteteey and manly independence, I 'made an appointment w ith a friend to call upe>n him, and accordingly'went with, him to the Hotel between.one and two o’- clock on ThursdaV the ftflrd. We sent out* names up to liis room on a card, and wore thru drsiredto walk up kv the ser vant who delivered it. On entering the roorn, which u;as a front one in rlie third. stdry, we lduiid Mr. Uandolplt in a lied, lying on ills back, villi his head and shoulders propped up by pillows on a chair, with his knees bent and elevated. He looked thin nttd emaciated, and nioredikc a skel eton than a living man. His countenance appeared to be almostdestituto'of life,and without turning liisliead, lie put. out his Itand as 1 approached the . bed, which 1 took, and inquired how he was. 1 told him my name, and introduced iny c'oyi panioii l.'ol. Biddle, lie seemed to be in a-stupor, and scarcely notTCecl'us, which I, supposing to be the filed.ol aunt library debility, sat down, in hopes that lie would sown be able to converse. Had. Biddle also took a chair nearer to the side of the bed than the one on which 1 sat. Those was nobody else in tlie room ex cept Air. Badger, olte of tlie proprietors Oi tlje Hotel, and wc all remained sil#nt foi some minutes, as if in presence of a dying man, w aiting lor Mr. Randolph -to-signi fy his wish to converse.. After a lapse of probably (ivc minutes from our entrances, Alr. Randolph beck oned to Air. Badger, who appro.ac.l>ed near to him. lie said something in a low voice to .him, which 1 did not hear, and then Mr. Badger whispered to (.’ol Bid dle, who then approached near to Air. Randolph wily saitl something in a voice just audible, about “names’ tor tltc pa per.—l will" give a hundred dollars tow ards it's distribution.?' This was nntn telligible to us all,, and Mr. Handoij*h pCfijeivjng that we did not under/umd, re.- pc-Htcd ‘T want to give names for the .pa p'er,.” Air.

Badger said to him, ,' llci baps sir you have tni-taken this gentjemaii tor .Mi.--———naming a gent kin an whom lie had seen before. Air. Randolph Ic.- piied, “Ac, 1 have n>:t--l sapjvosc him to brill ic editor of the State tight.; paper'.” This expression instantly cleared tip the ditlieirlty. Col? Bfddlc tiUnied me as the inrlividua! intended, and 1 ’took his place near Mr. Randolph, irnll said td liim"—“ I am not now. Sir, the editor'of a -paper.-; The one which 1 conducted was discontin ued at the end of the last* year. It was tlie Banner of the. Constitution, to w hich, I prc*utnc, yyu allude.” Ijc replied audi bly, “ I know that that jauper was discon tinued. but 1 understood that you iutend cd'to'publish another, it siiflicient patron age Aas olitaifted iH'fo't ch'hc first ot July.” I replied, tiiHf’t.hc first'of Al.iy was the period assigned for its commencement, but that, as the i cqui ute support was liol of fered, the undertaking had been abandon ed. At the north, the cause of State rights'liau been so' completely annihilated, tli.it nobody cftiild be found here te» sup port a paper devoted to its advocacy.” 1 continued—“At the tinw you cihne out a gainst the doclVincs "est the President's t'nxdamation, and when the cause stood 1 in need of such able defenders, 1 had been 'in hopes that we should have been able here to rally a party, but have been dis appointed-.” 1 said, “1 waxglati to .learn from Mr. T , a few weeks ago. that he did not consider the cause as des perate, in Virginia .” Air. Kandelph then said Air. T was here to see me this morning.” During these remarks Mr. Randolph listened with great attention, showing that he lelt a deep interest in the cause of State rights up to tlie latest period of his lifc.bui lie was tiro feeble to converse, and think ing that any further observations migh disturb Inni, wFtb'ok leave of him, undoi astrong persuasion that lie cquld not lohj survive. In this impression we were con ! firmed by his mart John, who had cnterci the rconi‘'tlbie vVe left it, arid who uc eoriipanicd us out, and who stated, its an swer to our questions, that he had been the epiVtant attendant of hi; his masfrr for ifiaity niontlis past, and that he had never seen Ititli so low as- that time, lie said, he thought at one time in the prece ding night that lie was dying. Ou tlie !oJ lowing day, Ftiday the SUh, I called tit tiic Hotel at about a quarter before ten o'clock, t" inquire alter Mr. Randolph's itcalih. but without any inten tion ol going to his room. I saw Air. Badger, win,sard he thought Mr. Ran dolph vvuji.dying, and said lie, “I believe ho inquired this morning-for you. * He .desired me U> send for some gentleman whose name I have forgotten,, and 1 think it was you.” 1 then mentioned my. name, when lie- said “jhat was the linmo.” I then said. I would go up and see hinq. . On entering the ry 'in I found two young gcntkmen, who 1 afterwards learned wore Dr. West and the j Midget Di'. l'arish, sun o! tlie attending physi cian. Mr. Randolph was lying in bed in tin: same position in which I had seen him the day before, haw rig bis head, and back propped up, and his knees elevated. He appeared to. ke altuostiupcnstbK*. After a little while he asked .for pencil and paper, which were given to him. He then aT.ed for spectacles which were al so given to him, when he began to write very earnestly, I Masting the paper on tlie back of a waiter placed against his knees. AVheirlie had filled two thirds of a page-, the lines w ere iru-gular and vyide apart, he hanged it to Air. Badgerivvio euteied y. iih’n)f, to read. Mr. Badger atitanpfcd to do so, but found it ui i)hei ei,t and in some pai t;: ili' giblo. Afi . Randolph then said “send it oveiq tfie way to Dr. Coulter,” liis mind was •evidently wandering, and as he insisted upon the note's going trith fi'asjc, Mr. Badger left tlie room with it, as if t'Vseijd'it. Alt. ■R'andofjifr. soon after began to write again. After he had finished, he boeoned so tne to come to him, and giving mo the.papei he eaid read -it.loud.” 1 tried to do :;b, but could only make out a part.
