PRESIDENT JEFFERSON AND NEPoTIsM.-IBos.
ton Correspondence of the New York Trt.
Dune. Thomas Jefferson was faithful. to the
party that elected him. But he would not
appoint men to Office merely because they
were conspicuous partisans. He took great
care to get the right man for the right place.
He would not give an appointment to rela.
tive. Of this Dir. Parton says:
AT the first view this seems unjust to the
honorable and capable families who were re.
lated to the President. It has the air OF
counting cheap and easy popularity, and ii
is open to the objection of pitching the note
too high for the limited range of human ma
turc. But his convictions on the point were
clear and strong, and Professor Tucker re.
cords that he acted on this principle through
out life in the administration of trusts. Thus,
as rector of the University of Virginia, he
opposed the appointment of Il nephew to a
professorship, though he was well qualified
for the place, dreading lest it should open n
door to the system which has made UNIVERSE.
ties and church endoWments in other lands
mere appendices to the estates of governing
families. He was nobly seconded in his reso-
luton by his own kindred. Imagine his de-
light on receiving from one of them, George
Jefferson, few days after his Inaugural
ton, a letter spontaneously declining to be
a candidate for Federal Office to which his
neighbors and friends desired to recommend
him. "The public" wrote the President,
'swil never be made to believe that al APP
pointment of a relative is made on the ground
of merit alone, uninf1uenced by family
views; nor can they ever see with approba-
ton offices, the bestowal OF which they in
trust to their President for public purposes,
divided out as family property" He owned
that the rule bore hardly upon Presidents
relations; but the public good. he thought.
required the sacrifice for which their share
in the public esteem might be considered
some compensation. 81 could not be salts
fed" said he, "until assured you OF the in
creased esteem with which this transa ction
fills ME for YOU"
His two sons-in-law did not suffer from
the rule, since their neighbors kept them
both in the House of Representatives.
This prejudice against nepotism did not,
of course, exclude his friends from office ;
but with jefferson it was always fitness
before friendship. He reduced the patron
age of the Government to minimum, and
employed no two men to do one mans
work. He endeavored to simplify the appa-
ratus and operations of government, so that
the rural members Of Congress and his
country constituents might understand
then. He abolished court etiquitte, and
every usage that resembled 1t. AS crown
ing grace he declined to receive any presents
while in office.

The yicissitudes Of climate which the
