MIR. JEFFERSON.

The administration party claim to be the
par excellence democrats of the present age.
Their cry is, great is V IN Buren,, and Jefer-
son is his prophet All their excuses are
perpctrated in the name Of the great apostle of
Democracy. In their war upon the banks,
upon the industry and commerce of the coun-
try, their battle shout is, Jefferson and De-
mocracy But if the dead were permitted to
burst the cercments Of the grave and to stand
forth in sef-yindication the spirit of the mighty
sage Of Monticello would confound the Loco
focos, his pretended disciples. No one can
peruse the subioined letter without being con-
WINGED that Mr.. Jefferson felt and acted upon
the principle, that he had country to serve
as well as a party to obey" and where obe-
dcnce to his party conflicted with duty to his
country, and Justice to an individual, he never
faltered in the discharge of his duty. He
never countenanced, by word or deed, the
agrarian, disorganizing, and destructive doc
trines Of Locoiocoism. His letter to Gov.
Hall breathes throughout pure and dsinte-
rested love Of country. IL shows that he re-
garded our Government as an experiment of
the people to govern themselves and he
wished iorbearance, prudence, wisdom and
Justice in the administration of the Govern
ment to remove the doubts of those, who ho-
nestly questioned the capacity Of the people
for sel-government. He was no friend to
prescription, much less to the doctrine Of ro-

broken-hS wages, consequently, not always full,
and his earnings small as they were principally ex-
pended in the GROCERY, where most OF his evenings
also spent, amid the tunes of liquor and tobac
co.. and sci of blwing drinking gaming, swear
ing idlers. His wife and children were neglected
and poverty aud misery came upon them. His
house decayed-hs furniture disappeared-and the
most painful exertions Of his wife, were scarcely
sufficient supply the children with food and decent
rament. AT length one Of his children was taken
sick and died. The miserable father, destitute Of
means and of friends was obliged to 90 to the pro-
pretor of the grog-shop and beg for loan of
| sum sufficient to barry his child in decency. The
| creature who had been dealing TO him liquid death
and absorbing his earnings in exchange therefor,
| refused him The miserable pittance. The poor man
turned away with heavy heart, feeling for once
thai The slender mercies Of the wicked are cruel in
deed" But means were provided, and the child
was buried. The circumstances, however, awaken
ed little serious reflection. He returned to his
family-began TO regret his past conduct resolved
"cur his former bad associates, and TO lead new
life. His resolutions well founded upon deep
conviction of his past errors, and his mind was
turned to Him who can save TO the uttermost. He
soon became religious, and to his new faith and
| knowledge, he added temperance. Let those who
are in the miserable condition he once was, mark
the result.
That man has prospsred. But a few days since,
he purchased city lot, and he is now erecting on it
handsome dwelling. His children are sent neatly
clad to school, and not permitted TO bawl about
the streets Sundays, like hundreds Of others who
disgrace the city and their parents also, if possible
They are taught good morals and decent manners.
The mother is happy-the father is happy-and con-
tentment and cheerfulness, dwell with them and
around them. ..
