Thomas JeHerson-Eis Religious Views

MT Jefferson was public professor of his belief in the Christian religion. In all his most important early state papers, such as "Sum- mary view of the Rights of British America" h's portion of the declaration made by Congress on "Ihe Causes of Taking up Arms" the declaration of independence, the draft of a con- stltution for Virginia, etc, there are more or less pointed recognitions of God and Providence.- In his two inaugural addresses as President of the United States, and in many of his annual messages, he makes the same recognitions, clothes them on several occasions in the most explicit language substantially avows the God of his faith, the God of revelation, declares his belief in the efficacy of prayer and the duty of ascriptions of praise to the author of all mer- ces, and speaks of the Christian religion as professed in his country as benign religion, evincng the favor of Heaven
 Had his wishes been consulted, the symbol borne on our nations seal wonld have contain ed our public profession of Christianity as nation.
 There is nothing in his writings or the his- tory of his life to show that his public decara- tions were insincere or thrown out for mere ef- feet. On the contrary, his most confidential wrltn',s sustain his public professions, and ad vance beyond them into the ayowal of a be- lei Tn future state of rewards and punish ment.
 He contributed freely to the erection of Chris tan churches, gave money to Bible societies and other religious objects, and vas liberal and regular contributor to the support of the clergy. Letters of his are extant which show him nrg ing with respectful delcacy the acceptance of extra and unsolicited contributions on the pas tor of his parish, on occasions of extra expense to the latter, such as the building of house. the meeting of an ecclesiastical convention at Charlottesville, etc. In these letters he assumes that he is only performing duty, and pleas

From the St. Louis Herald. Romance of History-Dred Scott,

The New York Times gives what purpof,s to be biography of Drcd Scott, whose name has become household word, and who but re- gently shuffled off this mortal coil" in our city. The Times says Dred Scott was born longer ago than anybody can remember, down in Yir- ginia on the property of the Blow family, which, from the name, we may judge to be ex- tensivelv connected with the first fanilies.- Capt. Peter Blow, while vet our hero was of tender years, moved away hop, the home of his race to Missouri, carrying Dred with him: and there, as was to be anticipated even for the Blows, succumbed to the common fate Alter other changes, and after accepting the claims of several reputable gentlemen in succession to the ownership of his soul, the negro, in l834, came into the hands of Dr. Emerson. surgeon in the army, who carried bim along to Rock Island, in Illinois, and subsequently to Fort Smelling, Ill the northwest territory of that day"
 It is useless to get angry at the fling of the Times at either the first families of Virginia or at the respectable name on which that paper so facetiously puus Sensible men do not get an- gry when they see such things in the small fry of newspapers; and iu such matters, the big fish among journals are To more respectful to others, and have no more selI-respecJ than the little ones
 The Times goes on to recount, among other things, that Dred was the "propertv'' of Mir. Chaftee, of Massachusetts. But that paper for gets to add that NIr. Chaifee, while he owned this "property," was a black republican mem Der of Congress from the State of Massachu Betts Finally, it is true, Mr. Chafee. whether influenced or not by the newspaper exposure of the fact that he owned Dred, took measures for his manumission. but," continues the Times, as under the laws of Missouri the act of emancipation can only b. performed by q citizen of that State, the item of personal pro- perty was made over to Mc. Taylor Blow. a son of Peter above referred to, who, on the 26th of May, 1857, gave liberty to the happy cap- tive. The transaction was probably as gratifv- ing as 1t was becoming to Mr. Blow, who q half century before hal been the playmate of hel.colored hero'
 The weight of years here assigned to our worthy fellow citizen Mr. Taylor Blow. he having been playmate a half century ago of Dred, and as may be inferred, born longer ago than anybody can remember" does not sit heavily on that venerable gentleman lis hair. if we remember, (haviug seen 1t as we believe last week) is crow black; and the fresh colors of youth seem to paint his countenanee.

The Speakership-Hon. o. E. Oates of
 MOnr0e

MIR. hpIToR-As the time approaches for the assembling of our legislators. much anxiety IS dally expressed in regard to the speakersLip. A man of legislative experience, sound un- wayerlng democrat, a gentleman of acknowl- edged ability and dignity of character should urauestionably be selected for that highly hon. orable position; and 1t is believed that the de-. mocratic members will certainly elect just such a speaker If they have such among them.- Consequently we hope that that honorable body will not consider us egotistic in presentnc the name ot the gentleman at the caption oi thls tor their serious consideration. Col. Oates for some years was member of the AL abama legislature, where he made his mark as a man of ability and democratic sounduess.- At the Inst session of our legislature, he rep resented Monroe county with great credit to himself and usefulness to the State. At the close of the session it was general remark among the members and spectators, that Col. Oates was perfectly conversant with parliament tary law and evidenced much learning, great re-
 
 search and sound judgment upon all the im- poFtant measures before the House.
 From early boyhoo1 he has been thorough democrat of the Jeii'ersoni;.n school, and was valuable auxiliary of the democratic party in the last legislature.
 Monroe can boast of as many aspirants for Legislative honors as any county in the State, and she certainly has an intelligent high toned population, but so implicit was the confidence of the people of that countyn in Col Oates per feet integrity, democratic soundness and his eminent capacity to represent them in the leg lslature, that he was re elected without oppo- stion. A member thus indorsed by his imme- diate constituents-so highly commended by all who are acquainted with him--and so well qualified for the position, should not be passed unnoticed in canvassing this subject
 The other gentlemen mentioned in this con- nection are all doubtless able to adorn the speakers chair, but as we are unacquainted with them we cannot make comparisons. At any event We feel conscious that the proper person will be promoted to that office, but would be highly gratified to see in that position our es- teemed friend the Hon. o. H. OATES.
