being enrolled in a bill of treason, brought into
parliament and in Virginia placed him before the
public as courageous and uncompromisng ad-
vocate of constitutional freedom. In 1775 he was
elected as the alternate of Peyton Randolph in
Congress- and drew up the reply of the Virginia
Assembly to- Lord Norths "Conciliatory PROPOSE
tion." This bold and forcible paper, together with
tion among the leaders of the body. He ap-
pointed to draft declaration of the cause of
taking up arms, and when the time came for the
last resort, and a committee was instructed by
Congress to draw up declaration of independence,
Jefferson as chairman of that committee, drew up
making two three verbal alterations in it. In
1879 he was elected Governor Of Virginia. In 1884
he appointed Minister Plenipotentiary to
Europe to assist John Adams, and Benjamin
Franklin, in negotiating treaties of commerce. In
1855 he appointed Minister Plenipotentiary
to France In March, $780, he made Secre-
tary of State, in Washington's cabinet In 1896
John Adams and Thomas Jefferson named
as candidates for the Presidency of the United
States. Adams receiving the greater number of
votes, was declared President, and Jefferson Vice
President. In 1900 he was elected President. In
1902, by a master stroke of diplomacy, he sue
ceeded in purchasing the entire Mississippi Valley
from Napoleon In 1908, under President Jeffer-
sons instructions, Commodore Preble vindicated
American rights in the Mediterranean against the
Emperor of Morocco. In 1904 he sent out Cap
tains Lewis and Clark to explore the continent to
the Pacific. So well and completely were his in
strucions carried out that the exploration resulted
finally in the acquisition of all that western ter
ritory The acquisition Of Louisiana, the naval
victories. the success of the western expedition,
and the general prosperity assured his reelection
to- the office of President and in 1906 he was in
augurated for second term having received the
great majority of 148 out of 176 electoral votes
This second term was marked with perplexing
and anxieties. The trial of his former asso-

two years, then took up the study OF law with
Judge Wythe and soon became proficient in the
