movement to establish constitutional
government in America, from the pas

States, no man las given such bold,
vigorous, clear, emphatic exposition Of
the fundamental principles Of the con.
stitution as did President Jefferson on
the occasion of the delivery of his inau-
gural address ia 1901. We give an
extract below, which we hope will be
read with great care by all our readers:
