From The Hesiern Hrginian.
MIR JEFFERSON

Much has been said about Mr.. Jefferson in
relation to his religious opinions, oil rather his
impressions in relation 10 Christianity. The
following letter, which has been politely put in
10 our hands for publication, will place this
matter in a correct point Of view, and demon
slrates, that while Mr.. jefferson was opposed
TO the 'eorruption Of Christianity, he was not
| opposed TO the precepts Of Jesus himself
The letter with which we have been iavourrd,
was addressed 10 the late Dr. Rush, Of Philade-
phia, and is dated
Washington 2lst Apri, 1903
DEAR SIR:-In some Of my delightful CONVEX
sat;ons with you in The evenings Of 1889,
and which served as an anodyne TO the Attic
tons of the crisis ,hro' which our country was
then labourng, the Christian religion was our
topic; and then promised you, that, one day
or other, would give you my views Of it. They
are the result Of iife Of enquiry and rehec tinn,
and very different from tina, anti-chrisiian sys-
tenn imputed to me by those who know nothing
Of my opinion. To the corruption of christian
ily, am indeed opposed; but not to the gen.
uine prece2ts of Jesus himself. am christi
an, in The only sense in which he wished any
one TO be, sincerely attached to his doctrines,
10 preference to all o,hers-Ascribing 10 him
every human excellence, and believing he new
er Gained any othef. All she SNORT Intervals,
since these conversations, when could jus.if-
ably abstract my mind from public affairs, this
subjec, has been under my contemplation; but
the more considered it, the more it expanded
itself beyond the measure Of either my time or
information. In the moment fmy late depar-
,ure from Monticello, I'received, from Dr. Prest-
" his lutte treatise Of Socrates and Jesus COM
pared. This being section of the general
view had taken Of the field, it became the sub
iect Of reflection while on the road anc unoc-
cuped otherwise the result was, TO arrange in
my mind syllabus or outline OF such an es,i.
mate Of the merits Of christianity, as wished
to see executed by some one gilmore leisure and
information for the task than myself his
now send to you as the only discharge OF my
promise can probably ever execute, and In
con6ding it to you, know it will not be expos
ed TO the malignant per,er,ions Of those who
make every word from me, text for new mis-
representations and calumnies. l am moreover
| averse TO the communication Of my religious
| ,ene,s TO the public, because il would counte-
nance the presumption Of those who have en-
deavored to draw them before that tribunal, u
to seduee public opinion to erect itself into that
inquisition over the rights Of conscience, which
the laws have so justly prescribed. Ii beho'es
