Hear what THOMAS JEFFERSON thought on this
subject read, sir, from letter addressed by
Mr. Jefferson to Gen. Washington dated Paris,
May I'd 1883 He says:
al ,pas much enemy TO monarchies before /
came TO Europe. am ten thousand times so
since hare seen tchdt they are. There is scarcely
an evil known in these countries which may not
be traced to their King as its source, nor good
which is not derived from the small fbres of re-
publicansm existing among them. | can further
say, with safety, there is not crowned head in ER

Truth Is Interchangeable and eternal, and if it is
true that king may be honest and upright in Eu-
rope, be may be so here and what the spoilers Of
Russia, Prussia and Austria did, where they went
among the Poland peasants and stript them OF
their all, is no more than what Kings will do in
all countries, and at all times, when they do it,
because their Legitimacy consists in the power OF
their swords and the strength Of their arms The
doctrine of their divine rights is an imposition;
every man in his senses knows it to be so; and
our President ought TO be, and will be, chastised
for cultivating these feelings with foreign eristo-
Gratis and potentates, sending his sons abroad to
ape their manners, and to introduce their ridIcd-
lous forms and ceremonies into Republican
country.
President Van Buren, once made trip into Vir-
gnia, and correspondent Of the Richmond En-
quirer, announcing the arrival Of this plain, hard
handed democrat at Louisa Courthouse says
"Abou, one o'clock he arrived travelling in the
plainest manner, with two of his sons, drawn by
FOUR horses his servant riding the horse pre-
scented to him by the late John Randolph, Of Roam
oke"
This, the committee will observe, was travelling
in the plaineSt manner. The very planest and
simplest style in which this plain, humble, hard
handed democrat moves through the country is in
coach with four horses, and an outrider. | sup
pose,5 when he wishes not be quite so plain, he
drives eight horses and two OutriGers. Now, one
of our good, plain, democratic wings thinks him
self pretty well off, and considers himself as tray
cling in bank-rag, wing baron style, if he can sit
IN his own coach, and drive pair Of his own bays
But the very plainest style of the Kinderhcok
democrat requires four horses, and Roanoke out
rider. 1t must be presumed, therefore, that when
he would be very grand, on such an occasion, for
instance, meeting convention of the democracy,
he will drive sixteen horses, and four outriders.
A laugh.
The correspondent of the Richmond Enquirer
does not state whether the hard handed, plain,
democratic President, at the time he came to
Louisa Court house, was travelling in his British
state coach, CT IN the splendid double carriage
which he had built in Connecticut. He also keeps
third, called. believe, landau. | have been in
formed that the beautiful maroon British state
coach was built at Long Acre, London, and is in
the style and finish of the richest gilded carriages
of the wealthiest nOblemeu who dash through
Portland square, Portland place, and ST, James
street, in the British metropolis. 1t is further
snid that when Mr.. Van Buren, imported his Brit
ish state COACH and splendid British carriage har-
ness. about 9Th of J,lv. 1870 nothin1 but the
breaking out of the cholera in New York prevented
such u demonstration on the part of tho coach
builders and harness makers, in that city, would
have male it almost hazardous for this plain,
bard.handed democrat TO introduce another British
state coach at the mort of New York. AsMr,
Van Buren, was travelling in his pl1inest STYLE. on
his Virpinin tour. I presnme therefore he did not
use his British state coach on that occasion.
Well, sir. let us next take Mr., Van Buren to

mortal state sboud spneor in n state of eoralitv.
