Siderations expressed in your letter OF in

From the New York World of July 4ih.l

There can be no better Fourth-of-July
reading than letters OF men who were great
actors in the Revolution and. 10 the scenes
which followed the Revolution, such as
those which are copied from the Louisville
Age into the second page OF to-day's World.
Jefferson never heard OF third term, or
contemplated it as possible, but he knew
what Capitalization meant, and there could
not be a better text for a sound constitu-
tionai orator 10 day than these words of his,
written in 1925:
Monarchy. to be sure, is now defeated,
and they wish it should be forgotten that it
ever was advocated. They see that it is
desperate. and treat its imputation to them
as Il calumny, and verify believe that none
Of them hive it now in direct aim. Yet the
spirit is not done away. The same party
takes now what they deem the next best
grounG-the consolidation of the Govern
ment, the giving to the Federal members OF
the Government, by unlimited constructions
OF the Constitution. control over all The
functions of the States, und the concentration
OF all power ultimately at Washington.''
