The following is an extract from the
Life of John Randolph, by Hugh A.
Garland :—Next morning, (the day on
which he died,) Dr. Parish received on
early and an urgent message to' visit
him. Several persons were in the room,
but soon left it, except his servant, John,
who was much affected at the sight of
his dying master. The-Doctor remarked
to him, "I have seen your master very
low before, and he revived ; and perhaps
he will again."
"_John knows better than that, sir."

He then looked at the - Doctor' with
great intensity, and said, in an earnest
and distinct manner.
" I confirm every disposition in my
will, especially that respecting my slaves
whom I have manumitted, and for whom
I have made provision."
AN, President
A ir I am rejoiced to hear such a declara-
Vn from you, sir," replied, the Doctor,
and soon after proposed to leave him
for a short time, to attend to another
patient.
m Bruner, Sr.,
Kno
~ e 1 H. Moore,
"You must'nt go," was the reply; "you
cannot, you shall not leave me. John!
take care that the Doctor (Ides not
leave the room."
John soon locked the door, and re
ported, "Master I have locked the door,
and got the key in my pocket; the
Doctor can't go now."
He seemed excited, and said, "If you
do go you need not return."
The Doctor appealed to him, as to
the propriety of such an order, inasmuch
as he was only desirous of diScharging
his duty to another patient. His man
ner instantly changed, and he said, " I
retract that expression." Some time
afterwards, turning an expressive look,
he said again, " I retract that expres-
mon."
The Doctor now said that he under
stood the subject of his commanicatiOff;
and presamed the Will would explain
itself fully. lie replied in his peculiar
way.
" No, you don't understand it; I know
you don't. Our laws are extremely
particular on the subjb.ct of slaves—a
Will may manumit them, but ,provision
fur their subsequent support requires
that a declaration be made in the pres
ence of a white witness, after hearing
the declaration, should continue with
the party, and never lose sight of him,
until he his gone or dead. You are a
good witness for John. You see the
propriety and importance of your re
maining with me ; your patients must
make allowance for your situation.—
John _told me this morning—'master
you are dying.'"
The Doctor spoke with entire candour,
and replied, that it was rather a matter
of surprise that he had lasted so long.
He now made his preparations to die.
He directed John to bring him, his
father's breast buttim ; he then directed
him to place it in the bosom of his shirt.
It was an old-fashioned, large-sized gold
button. John placed- it in the button
bole of the shirt bosom—but to fix it
completely, required a hole on the oppo- .
site side. " Get a knife," said he, " and
cut one." A napkin was called for, and
placed by John over his breast. For a
short time he lay , perfectly quiet, with
his eyes closed. He suddenly roused up.
and exclaimed—" Remorse ! remorse !"
It was thrice repeated—the last time,
at the.top of his voice, with great agita
tion., Be cried out—"lat me see the
word. Get a dictionary, let - me see the
word.
"There is none in the mein, sit," •
"Write it down, then—let me see the
word."
The Doctor picked 'up one of his
cards, Randolph of Roanoke—"shall
write it on this card ?"
" Yes, nothing more proper."
The word remorse was then written
in pencil. He took the card in a hurried
manner, and fastened his eyes on it Wiih
great intensity.
"Write it on the back," be exclaimed.
It was so done, and handed him again.
He was extremely agitated:
"Remorse i you have no idea what it
is ; you can form no idea of it whatever ;
it has contributed to bring me to my
present situation ; but I have looked to
the Lord Jesus Christ, and hope I have
obtained pardon. Now let John take
your pencil and draw a• line under the
word," which was accordingly done.
"What am I to 'do with the card ?"
inquired, the Doctor.
" Put it in your pocket—tate cars of
it—whenl am dead, look at it."
The Doctor now introduced the sub
ject of:milting in some additional wit-.
nesses to his declarations, arid suggested

sending down stairs for Edmund Bad-'
ger.
He replied—" I have already commu
nicated that to him." •
The Doctor then said—" With your
concurrence, sir, I will send for two
young physicians, who' shall remain and
never loose. sight of you until you are
;dead, to whom you can make • your decla
rations—my gut, Dr. Isaac Parish, and
my young friend and late pupil, Dr..
Francis West, a brother of Capta , in

He quickly asked—" Captain West of

"Yes', sir; .
the same."
"Send for him—he is the man=-I'll
.
have him."
Before the door was unlocked, he
requested
the
towards'a bUreae, and requested
the Doctor to take from it a remuner
ation for his services. To this the
,
Doctor promptly replied, that'he would
feel as though he were acting indelicate
ly to comply. He then waived the sub
ject by saying—"iu England it is always
customary." • :
The witnesses were now sent for, arid
soon arrived. The dying , man Was prop
ped up in the bed, with pillows ; nearly.
erect. Being extremely sensitive. ,to
cold, he had a blanket over his head and
shoulders; and he directed John , to
place his hat on, over the blanket, which
aided in keeping it close to his head,—
With a countenance full of sorrow, John
stood close by the side of his dying
master. The four witnesses—EdmUnd'
Badger, Francis West, Isaac Parfsh,
and Joseph Parish—Were placed in •a
semi -circle, in fall view. He rallied all
the axpiring energies of mind and body,
to this last effort. ‘"His whole soul,"
says Dr. Parish, "seemed concentrated
in the act. His eyes flashed feeling and
intelligence. Pointing towards Us. with
his long index finger, he addressed us."
" I confirm all the directious iu my
Will, respecting my alaves, and direct
them to be enforced, particularly in re
,
gard to a provision for their support.
And then raising his arm as high as he
could,'he brought it down with his open
hand on the shoulder of his favorite
John, and added these words—"espe
cially for this man." He then asked
each of the witnesses whether' they un
derstood him. Dr. Joseph Parish ex
plained to their' what' Mr. Randolph
had said in regard to tho laws of Virginia
on the subject of manumission—and
then appealing to the dying man to know
whether he had stated it correctly.—
" Yes," said he, and gracefully waving
his hand as a token of •dismission, he
added—" the young gentlemen' will. re
main with me." The scene. was now
soon changed. Having disposed of that
subject most deeply impressed on his
heart, his keen, penetrating eye, lost, its
expression,,his powerful mind gave way,
and his fading imagination began to
wander amid scenes and with frieuds
that he had left behind. In' two hours
the spirit took its flight, and all that
was mortal of John Randolph of Roa
noke was'hushed in death. On `the 24th
day ofJune, 1833, aged sixty years, he
breathed his last, in Et chaniber of the
City Hotel, No. 41, Mirth Third Street,'
Philadelphia.
fir Among , those brought to White
House; was a rebel colonel who had been'
shot through the lungs. As he appered
to be dying, Mr. Barclay asked him if he
wished anything done. He said "Yes,"
and gave the Commissioner* the names
and dddress of his• wife . aud
"Anctitow," said'he, "ask 'God to forgiee

children,,the penitent Carolinian raised
his trembling arms and. threw them,
about the neck of Mr. Barclay, and kiss
ed him again and again. The bystand
ers were all in tears as they turned from
the affecting scene and . walked silently
away,` iMpreised with • a feeling that
surely,' sooner or later, God's terrible
vengeance will fall `Upon the heads of

high, exposed ground, without, any pro
