government; in other words, that We should unsay all
that our fathers said about representation and taxation
going together. and re.establish the odious British
principle, cloven down in the Revolution, over those
who might inbabit the finest lands on the American
continent. This is one Of the most signal OF the many
inconsistencies and palpable derelictlons from all pup.
lie spirit and common honesty by a party which pc
litely ~srrogated to itself the ~decenoy, the intelligence,
and the patriotism of the whole country. 1t may be
safely affirmed that nothing tended more clearly to
expose the rottenness of the old Federal party and the
abandoned character Of It's leaders, than their entire
oourse in relation to the purchase and regulation of
Louisiana.
The third chapter embraces parts Of the years 1914
and 1895, and begins with an account Of the Congress.
sional caucus which nominated Jefferson for a second
term detailing the reasons which induced him to con.
sent to a second nomination. In a review of his cor.
respondence OF this date, Mr.. L. publishes a letter of
Jefferson, in which he refers to the overstocking Of
the learned professions, aud for which he prescribes
a remedy. 1t was at this time that Jefferson was
called upon to mourn the death Of his daughter, Mrs.
Eppes, one of the ~loveliest of her sex; and we have q
description of the mournful scene by a member Of
the family, and letters Of coincidence from dear
friends, especially from Mrs. Adams, who was devo.
teddy attached to the deceased daughter, while she re-
Earded the father withIauy,hing but affection The
answer Of Jefferson to the letter of Mrs. Adams, with
its sequel, presents a remarkable chapter in the story
OF human friendships. At this date the poet Moore
fhena very young man, made his visit to Washing
ton, and was introduced to Jefferson, but he
soon became disguised with = people who
had little taste for the poems of Little. mr. respeot for
their author. Jefferson, who abhorred obscsni.y in
literature, took no notice of the poet; but we ara.
told by Mr.. Randall that. when, at a later day, the
melodies Of Moore appeared, and were showa to JET.

looking over them awhile, said, why the little man

have come down to us, he not only held the first place,
but he was wholly unapproachable by q rival. He,
more than any man of his age, had shaped the institu.
tons of his country and he had performed his work,
not in a time Of profound peace and with the gene
rous concurrence of all, but in the midst Of actual war
or in the face of a formidable opposition. His histo
ry is indeed the history of American liberty. Others
we're active for a season and then withdrew from the
stage; but be was ever the foremost in bringing for
ward the great measures. which mark the age. Ever
at the post OF peril, he saw the House of Burgesses 20
down, and the Conventions rise in its stead. He So"
the Conventions give place to a General Assembly
prescribed by a written Constitution, and in that body
he brought forward measures, the virtue and wisdom
of which are not only acknowledged now, but will be
acknowledged with wonder and gratitude in all time
to come. Abroad he was equally active and fearless.
In the midst Of the Cyclopean men who composed the
early Congress, his pen carried of the fsirest tro-
pixies. The Declaration of Independence, though not
the only great one, is one Of those trophies. He formed
that simple but perfect currency of dollars and cents
which we now possess, and which we have lately seen
introduced into the greatest dependency Of England
on the American continent. He guided the destinies
Of the Federal Government 80 wisely that the most
powerful opposition that ever confronted a public man
in q short season dissolved like snow in a July sun;
and on his second election to the Presidency there
was hardly a dissenting vote. So much wa. be be-
loved by the people that 1t required all his moral
courage to resiet Il third election to the Presidency
Had his days ended with his public life, he would
have closed a political career splendid and successful
beyond the reach Of a parallel among the men of the
Anglo Saxon race. But his valuable life was spared
seventeen years longer and in that interval he was to
appear in a new light, and to confer new blessings
upon his country.
The eight last chapters Of the present volume are
devoted TO this part of the life OF Jefferson, and will
be regarded by most readers az, perhaps, the moot
interesting and most instructive Of all. Though Jsf.

for Kansas. On unlocking his carpet sack
he found that he had been robbed Of 5000 in
gold. He remembered that he had for a few
moments left the carpet sack on his seat in
the car while purchasing his ticket. lie had
then Just been conversins with a courte"us
stranger, whom on his return, he found mis-
sing, and who doubtless unlocked the sack,
ligbtened it of the money, re-lock'd it, and
departed, praying for the young mans vel
