MR. JrrFERsoN.

L w deUlnStChs "a INC lotD, III uOnof W WI
jeff rson's birth day, have placed bis memo
~ and his real friepds--we mean bis friends,
10 exclusion Of those who borrow his maatie
for knaYish and designing purposes-in an
awkward situation. Whatever the original
purpose Of that dinner was--and that it was
truly and singiy to do honor to the memory
Of Mr. Jefferson, 40 man belleyes-whatever
| political object Benton and its other origina
| tors proposed, it is evident that il was used
| by the Nulifysrs, the enemies of the Tariff,
and OF the Improvement power, to array the
weight and popularity of bis name on their
side. We are inclined 10 think that this was
not the primary object-that the original
purpose was nothi5g more than to identify
Jack sonism and Jefersonism which the pro-
Jectors thought might easily be effected with
! the ignorant at Leash, by combining the dinner
to Jackson rlen and showing great zeal to
celebrate Mr.. JetfeFson's memory. The orr
| ginal design was afterwards raised in two
respects-by the respective attempts of Mr.
Calhoun and Mr.. Van Buren,, TO convert the
| dinner to their private advantage, and by the
more successful attempt of the qnemies Of the
ianh and the Nuilllyers, to engraft their O.
pinlons upon the proceedings of the meeting,
| and thus hold them up as MIR. Jeferson's. If
we are wrong III any one OF these conjeetures
IS
the assertion, that the dinner itself was COR.
| celyed in fraud, and ended ia abortion; for
| "a honor to MIR. Jefferson, was not the mo
two batthe CLOAK, so tits manifest that the
taep offence and disgust given the friends Of
Tie Tarih and improvement, and the foes of
tl4e nnihiying doctrine, 10y the complexion of
! tia toasfs and speeches, has done infinite in
Jury TO the heads OF the party and their cause
ana secret eRds. That there we're some gho
attended from the single aad unaIloyed mo-
tive of respect to Mr.. Jefferson's memory this
name OF the President of the day and others
OF the Virginia Delegation, is sufficient qua
rastee. Not SO OF the Van Busens, The Ben
tons, the Woodhurys, ct Vi onns genus, who
would willingly consign Mr. Jeferson to pur-
gatory, did It aid in accomplishing their dar-
bag views Of gethag money and power
john hoans looks 40 higher and no farther
than bis present statioa, and biz life is veth
cher for tbs purity of Tie motives
We said that Mr. Jefierson's reputation
had been placed in an awkward situation, by
his being quoted rs tho uncompromisiag and
steadiast snemy OF manufactures and fun
prsVeiosat. la sasrobDrat;on of this idea we
quote the following articles:
From The .T. Y, Dolly advertiser.
Extract of letter, dated
WARRINGTON, April I4th, 1890.
1t has been the object Of the present ad
min'straiion to identity Itself and its measure.
with tas administration of hr Jefferson. Il
mas been found necessary to resort to some
measure oil TINS kind, IN o-der to sustain the
fast sinking popularity of Preside Mt Jaukso,
la ORDER therefore, shat il might be unaer
stood by the people at large, that all true
Jaekso..aos were also true Jefiersooians. i
fsAS Shought expedient, for lie fret ;;n,e. 70
/ aaye u dinaer got up in hoaor Of this distin-
g'tsesd philosopher and statesman. Hi,
birthday, which was Yesterday. was tha day
agreed on as the one most suitable TO nsy
hoheuFs TO the memory Of the deceased: or
rather, 1t was thought, by protesting on this
Gay 10 pay suitable respect TO his memory.
u'e people would believe that all Jacksoaians
'''Tsre true republicans dyed in the wool u
But Tor fear that some oiddelnocrat who sun
ported Mr.. Adams, nightsfnd MS way TO the
table, a committee of Invitations WAS dss;r.
pated. This committee, performed its dnfv
most rlgidly. Sies.rs. Crewninshield. BeH
Foot, fioinlee, and others. who had been The
pupils OF Mr.. Jefferson, were not inyited.
while Rowan. Hemphill, Erwin, Stanberrv
ana others, the supporters Of John Adouy
were made welcome guests--Massrs. Taze-
wen and {yler>were invited, but not feeling
inclined to bind+asnsslvos to Gen. Jack,oois
car, they declined the invitation.
The Pennsylvania Delegation, knowing the
hostility OF the committee appointed to, make
the toasts, TO the. power of the Gsnsral ,Gov
eminent over The subject of internal improva-
rnent and the tariff, were suspicious that SEN
uments might be- offered 10 which thew could
netAccord, and thought it would be we'll for
mem to'ase Inc toasts before they sat down
TO the table in this they were arati6ed. and
naylng discovered that there was q direct al
tack ON she policy they supported, they left
the DINNER party en- masse, to the great con-
attenuation Ok the company. Gov. Dickerson
OF New Jersey, and others, have EXPRESSED
Their regret that they did not follow the CT
ampie-'Ihe President attended: and il is the
i!rst limo that President has mingled with
the tsstpitiee of the table, on any similar oc-
lcasioh. Biz, Monroe was at The dinnsr oiven
TO General Lafayette, because he was the
natIonss guest, invited here by the National
Legislature. Taking it altogether, the die
ner was failure. BY the dsaffection of the
Pennsylvania Delegation, breach is crsat-
Cd which wa! not be very soon healed Ike
reiusaiof Messrs. Iaxe~eh and Tyler. and
others, to attend, the disqualification of Gov
DicEerson, and others, and the seeding oP
the Pennsylvania Delegation, are cirenm
stances which have alarmed the nartv. and
are notifying beyond description. Many
were disgustsd with attendance of the Presi.
dent.
