 yaff. Je6sfson.-m reference to the religion oi Thomas Jefferson, the edit or of the Essex Gazette, who is menl- Der of the Society ofEriends, holds fine following language:
 Whatever may have been his spec. ulatiye belief, Thomas Jefferson was not a practical in6del. He respected and loved the free exercise of rational religion. He was not the bigot ofan exclusive creed; but bis spirit aeioiced lat the privilege which those arn4ld s44 l4iss enjoyed, of worshipping their Creator according to the dictates of their own consciences.
 Iii support of this opinion, the Ga zette publishes a letter from Mir. lief lerson, addressed to Mir. Canby, who was himself a religious man, an extract from which is conclusive as to the char acter of Jederson's religious tenets, and cannot fail to be acceptable, and win admiration from the reader. He writes:
 An eloquent preacher of your reli- society, Richard Mot, hf iTi dis course of much.unction and patlios, is said to have exclaimed aloud to his con- gregation, that he did not believe there was Q quaker, presbyterian, methodist, or baptist, in Heaven-having paused ) to give his audience time to stare, and to wonder, he said that in heaven, God knew no distinction, but considered als good men as his children and as breth- ern of the same family. believe with the quaker preacher, that he who stead. lily observes those moral pgecepts in which ali religions concur, will never De questioned at the gates of Heaven, Eas to the dogiTas in which they differ; that on entering there all these are left behind us, the Aristideses and Gates, Penns and Tillotsons, presbYteriars and baptists, will find themselves united in all principles which are in concert with the reason of the supreme mind. Ofall the systems of morality, ancient Or naoa- ern, which have come under my obsersa- ton, none appear to me so pure as thatof Jesus. He who follows this steadily, need not, l think, be uneasy, although he cannot comprehend the subtseties and mysteries erected on his doctrines, by those who, calling themselves his special followers and Eayorites, would make him come into the world to lay snares for all
 understandings but theirs: those meta physical heads, all usurping the judge ment seat of God, denounce as his en- emies, all who cannot perceive the geo. metrieal logic of Euclid in the dsmon- strations of St. Athanasius, that three are one,, and one is three, and yet that | threearenot one, ,norone three. Inall es- sential points, you and are of the same religion, and l am too old to go into the inquiries and changes as to the unes- sentials. Repeating therefore my thankfulness for the kind concern you have been so good as to oexpress, l salute you with friendship and brotherly foee-
