Thoma, Jefferson on slas.aehuss,,s.

In 1915, Thomas Jefferson, The great apos-
tie of American Democracy, wrote letter 10
General Dearborn, of Massachusetts in which
occurs the following paragraph:
"Oh, Massachusetts, how ] lament the
degrecaion Of your sposlacy! lie, us look
forward, then, TO the act of repentance, which,
by diminishing her venal traitors, shall be the
signal of return to the bosom and to the prin-
ciPles of her brethren; and If her late humi-
iation can just give her modesty enough 10
suppose that her Southern brethren are some.
what on a par with her wisdom, in informa.
lion, in bravery, and even in honesty, al,ho'
not in Palm singing, she will more justly es-
timate her own relative momentum in The
Union. With her ancient principles she
would really be great if she did not think
herself The whole"
Tristram Burgess, in speech in Congress,
once declared that he thanked Goo that "the
father of lies could never become The father
of liars" and tis to be regretted that he
could not thank the same authority for a par.
allel blessing: that the mother of hum5ugs
could never become the mother of humbug-
gers! Were such the fact, ere this Massa-
chuse,ts and all her humbugs, her fanalicism,
her bigolry, her unrelsn'ins maevolence. her
Righteousness, her tyranny and frauds, her
blind hale and insane raving against the
South, against the Union, against liberal in
s,lulions and popular righls-al her folly and
all her wickedness-her vices and her sensu-
ali,y, her base panderng TO wealth and wor.
ship OF self, her arrogance and stupidty-all
these would be gone-Massachuselt would
no longer be herseli-,hs Union would be
rid of deyl-and then, indeed, she might
be Greatly great" Great Jefferson knew her
well, watched her cosely-always perseculed
bv her because he deiested her bigory, her
ilIberalily, and her proclvity 10 tyranny and
10 the vain things of monarchy-he knew the
evil OF her heart, and, in the fi,ling language
we quote al lhe head of this article, he warns
his counirymen against fer principles Gin.
