Extract from the unpublished Manu scripts of Mr. Jefferson. To Dr. Walter Jones. Monticello, Jan. 2d, '14. Dear Sir: I deplore with you the putrid state into which our newspapers have passed, and the malignity, the vulgarity, and men dacious spirit of those who write for them; and I enclose you a re cent sample, the production of a of the abyss of degradation into which we have tallen. These or dures are rapidly depraving the public taste, and lessening its re- llish for sound food. As vehicles of information, and a curb on our functionaries, they have rendered themselves useless, by forfeiting all title to belief. That this has, in a great degree, been produced by the violence and malignity of party spirit, 1 agree with you; and I have read with great pleasure I the paper you enclosed me on i that suhinet. which T nniv i-pfurn Robert H.

Jackson. the end of the first page, where you make a statement of genuine Republican maxims; saying, "that the People ought possess as much political power as can possibly consist with the order and securi ty of society." Instead of this, I would say, "that the People, be ing the only safe depository of power, should exercise, in person, every function which their qualifi cations enable them to exercise, consistently with the order and security of society; that we now LETTER OF MR. JEFFERSON. From the Virginia Advocate. We are indebted for the letter published to-day from Mr. Jeffer son to Dr. Walter Jones, to the Kindness ot the Executor of iIr. Jefferson and legatee of his Man- so; you 'have given tKe genuine! time was employed inaction chief- history of the course of his mind through the trying scenes in wmcn it was engaged, and of the seduc tions by which it was deceived, but not depraved. I think I knew General Washington intimately and thoroughly; and, were I call ed on to delineate his character, it should be in terms like these: His mind great and powerful, without being of the very first or der; his "penetration strong, tho' not so acute as that of a Newton, Bacon or Locke; and, as far as he saw, no judgment was ever sounder. It was slow in opera tion, being little aided by inven tion or imagination, but sure in conclusion. Hence the common remark of his officers, of the ad vantage he derived from councils tions, he selected whatever was best; and certainly no general ev er planned his battles more judi ciously. But, if deranged during the course of the action, if any member of his plan Was disloca ted by sudden circumstances, he was slow in re-adjustment. The consequence was that he often failed in the field, and rarely against an enemy in station, as at Boston and York. He was inca pable of fear, meeting personal dangers with the calmest uncon cern. Perhaps the strongest fea ture in his character was pru denc, never acting until every cir cumstance, every consideration, was maturely weighed; refraining if he saw a doubt, but, when once decided, going through with his purpose whatever obstacles oppo sed. His integrity was most pure, his justice the most inflexible I ly, reading little, and that only in agriculture and English History. His correspondence became ne cessarily extensive, and, with jour nalising'his agricultural proceed ings, occupied most of his leisure hours within doors. On the whole his character was in its mass, per fect, in nothing bad, in few points indifferent; and it may truly be said, that never did nature and fortune combine more perfectly to make a man great, and to place him in the same constellation with whatever worthies have merited from man an everlasting remem brance. For his was the singu lar destiny and merit of leading the armies of his country success fully through an arduous war, for the establishment of its indepen dence, of conducting its councils through the birth of a government, new in its forms and principles, until it had settled down in a qui et and orderly train, and of scru pulously obeying the laws through the whole of his career, civil and military, of which the history of thejivorld furnishes no other ex ample. How then can it be peri lous for you to take such a man on your shoulders! I am satisfied the great body of the Republicans think ot him as 1 do. We were, indeed dissatisfied with him on his ratification of the British Treaty, but this was short-lived. We knew his honesty, the wiles with which he was encompassed, and that age had already begun to re lax the firmness of his purposes: and I am convinced he is more deeply seated in the love and gra titude of the Republicans, than in the Pharisaical homage of the Fe- have ever known, no motives of deral Monarchists. For he was interest or consanguinity, of friendship or hatred, being able to bias his decision. He was, in deed, in every sense of the word, a wise, a good, and a great man. I lis temper was naturally irritable and high toned: but reflection and resolution had obtained a firm and habitual ascendancy over it. If ever, however, it broke its bounds, he was most tremendous in his wrath. In his cxpenccs, he was honorable, but exact; liberal in contributions to whatever promis ed utility; but frowning and un yielding on all unworthy calls on Ids charity. His heart was not warm in its affections; but he ex actly calculated every man's val ue, and gave him a solid esteem proportioned to it. His person,' you know, was fine, his stature ex actly what one would wish, his deportment easy, erect, and no ble; the best horseman of his ae. find them equal to the election of and the most graceful figure that those who shall be invested with their Executive and Legislative powers, and to act themselves in the Judiciary, as judges in ques tions of fact; that the range of their powers ought to be enlarg ed," etc. Tina gives both the reason and the exemplification of the maxim you express, "that they ought to possess as much political power," &c. T see no thing to correct cither in your facts or principles. You say, that, in taking Gene ral Washington on your shoulders,' could be seen on horseback. Al though, in the circle of his friends, where he might be unreserved with safety, he took a free share in conversation, his colloquial ta lents were not above mediocrity, possessing neither copiousness of ideas nor fluency of words. In public, when called ortfor a sud den opinion, he was unready, short, and embarrassed. Yet he wrote readily, rather diffusely, in a correct style. This lie had ac quired by conversation with the world: for his education was mere- uscripts. We have reason to flat V , .

His raduallv fr no monarchist from preference of his judgment. The soundness of that gave him correct views of the rights of man, and his severe jus tice devoted him to them. He has often declared to me, that he con sidered our new Constitution as an experiment on the practicabi lity of republican government, and with what dose of liberty man can be trusted for his own good: that he was determined the expe riment should have a fair trial, and would lose the last drop of his blood in support of it. And these he repeated to me the oftener, and more pointedly, because he knew my suspicions of Col. Hamilton's views, and probably had heard the declarations which I had heard, to wit "that the British Consti tution, with its unequal represen tation, corruption, and other ex isting abuses, was the most per fect Government which had ever been established on earth, and that a reformation of these abu ses would make it an impractica ble Government." I do believe that Gen. Wash ington had not a firm confidence in the durability of our Govern ment. He was naturally distrust ful of men, and inclined to gloomy apprehensions; and I was ever persuaded that a belief that we must at length end in something like a British Constitution had some weight in his adoption of tlie ceremonies ot levees, birth days, pompous meetings with Con- other forms of the same haracter calculated to prepare us Tflflllflllv for n f linnrrn it!.!. lir :, ; 1:.
