Mr., JEFFERSON AND THE CONSTT-
TUITION.

The patent Democrats of this iron age of
Van Burenism, prate about State Rights and
a strict construction of the Constitution, while
the major part. ofthem are as rank federalists
as ever lived in the days of the elder Adams.
Democracy, such Democracy as existed in the
days Of Jefferson, was pure, but alas! for tie
country, and Republicans of the present day, it
has really degenerated, and the name of dem
ocracy is felt by patriotism in these times, al
most as a by-word and reproach. The sell
styled democrats of our day have become
mobOcrats, setting constitutions, laws and eve
rything else aside, to suit their own conve-
nience; and the fairly expressed will of THE
PEOPLE, is derided, and laughed at, if it suits
not tfeir interests to become subservient.
But to our subject.
When the purchase of Louisiana was con-
templated, Mr.. Jefferson was unable to find
any clause in the constitution authorizing Con-
gress or the executive to use the public money
for such purpose; but it was found that it
was erpsdient to strain point, and secure the
territory; for evils to the country Of magni-
tude too great to be conceived of was appre-
hended from the possession Of foreign power,
of the key Of the Mississippi river The pat
riotism and love of country which SO pre-
eminently distinguished Mr.. Jefferson, soon
pointed out the course to be pursued. Al
though among the enumerated powers in tho
sacred charter Of our liberties he could not find
the expressed right TO purchase the territory
of Louisiana from France, yet through his IN
fiuence it was secured and erected into one
of the States of the Union. To appreciate
the motives of Mr.. Jefferson in thus violating
the Constitution, we give his own words in a
letter addressed by him in August, 1908. to
Levi Lincoln of Massachusetts.
"On further consideration as to the amend
ment to our constitution respecting Louisiana,
have thought il better, instead Of enumera-
ting the powers which Congress may exercise,
to give them the same powers they have as to
other portions of the Union generally, and to
enumerate the special exceptions, IN some
such form as the following:
sLouisiana, as ceded by France to the u.
nited States, is made a part Of the United
States, its white inhabitants shall be citizens,
and stand, as to their rights and obligations,
on the same footing with other citizens Of the
United States, in analogous situations. Save
only that as to the portion thereof lying north
of an east and west lIne drawn through the
mouth Of Arkansas river, no new State shall
be established, nor any grants Of lands made,
other than to Indians, in exchange for equiv.
alent portions of land occupied BY them, until
an amendment Of the constitution shall be made
for these purposes
Florida also, whatsoever i may be right
fully obtained, shall become part Of the United
states, its white inhabitants shall thereupon
be citizens. and shall stand. as to their rights
and obligations, on the same footing with other
citizens Of tie United States. II analogousizit-
uations.'

would be useless for us to repeat what he said
as his principles are fully and candidy stated in

GIVE THE DEVIL HIS DUES.

Although Amos Kendall, Post Master
General, is guilty ofa thousand vices which
cry aloud for the expiatory powers of pur-
gatory, yet it must be confessed that ne is
possessed Of one virtue which amidst the
moral darkness which surrounds him,
shines forth with the lustre Of diamond.
Virtue, in the private walks of life excites
delightful emotions in the benevolent heart,
but oh! how rapturous these sensations
when it sends forth its conquerin G
beams from the dark places of political
corruption!
Although every sin in the catalogue OF
political vices may be found cleaving to
Amos skirts, yet every candid Wing must
confess that he is possessed Of one virtue,
which has Justly won for its possessor the
application Of the God-like Amos; vir-
tue which has been ptopagated by his ex-
ample and zeal through the whole admin
istration; virtue which by the fasclna-
ton of its charms, rivets the affections 81
officeholders to the Executive, and per-
suades the people with voice more ire
sistible than the song ola syren, to become
Office seekers; a virtue which has by being
} abused, estranged the heart of all that por
ton of''we the people" called Democrats
from the people, and turned them towar'
