From The Durham Herald The Roxboro Courier ia skeptical about the correctness of the report that Durham will not have a can didate for the Democratic nomina tion for congress. We are not in a position to definitely call our es teemed Person contemporary on that, but so far as we have been able to gather from nosing arounJ ameng the boys here, there is just one chance, and that not so good, that Durham wil put out a man lor the office now held by MaJ( r Sted man. And in passing, we note that Person county will have no can didate. as The Courier is suggesting that Major Stedman be kept in congress for the rest of ids life. uIUSICAL UinECTOR.

Old Letters Of Jefferson Cite His Religious Beliefs One In t'olleclion Sold Asked That Publisher Say Nothing Of Ills Beliefs. New York Times. A New York collector of Ameri cana has acquired recently an ex tensive collection of letters by John Adams, Thomas Jefferson. James Madison, James Monroe John Quincy Adams and other famous men, a large propor tion of which appears to be un published, it was learned recently. Of the sixteen Jefferson letters in the collection only four have been published, so far as could be learn ed. .In one of those which have not bprn printed Jefferson discusses the several portraits which were painted or him by Gilbert Stuart, and in another communication re fers to his religious beliefs, The collection was formed between 1313 and 18JO by Joseph Delaplaine publisher, who was born in Phila delphia in 1177. Early in his career he opened a book store in his «Uive city and m 1313 undertook to pub lish serially a "Repository of the Lives and Portraits of Distinguish ed Americans"—a collection of en gravings with bierrrphical data. In collecting inforr i *ion for this work lie corresponded with some of the most distinguished men of his day and had the foresight to preserve their letter*. Until recently these letters, bound in a single quarto volume, remained in the possession of ills descendants. They, however disposed O' the letters, which subse quently passed into the hands of Thomas P. Madlgan, autograph dealer, 2 East Fifty-fourth street, who sold them to the collector. For the most pa it, these letters deal with portraits and lives of the writers. The series by Jefferson is the largest. For the convenience of Delaplaine, Jefferson even went to tile trouble to write out his life and in another letter enclosed a long extract from his diary. In a list of laws which he drew up and in troduced into the Virginia legisla ture lie cites as possibly another accomplishment: "To the above may be rdded the draught of the Declaration of Independence.” On May 30, 1C13. Jefferson wrote from Monticclii to Delaplaine: -You favor of the 23K is received in which you enquire whether there is en approved portrait of myself, by whom painted, & in whose pos session? Mr, Stuart hrs drawn two portraits of me. at different sittings of which lie prefers the last. Both are in his possession. He also drew a third in water colours, a profile in the medallion stile, which is in my possession. Mr. Rembrandt Peale also drew a portrait in oil colours on canvas while I lived in Washington. Of tlie merit of these I am not a judge, there being nothing to which a man is so incompetent as to judge of his own likeness. He can see himself only by reflection, and that of necessity full-faced or nearly so." Three years later (Dec. 25, 1816) Jefferson complained of his heavy correspondence. Both this and the foregoing letters are believed to be unpublished. In pate, he wrote: “The first part of my other letter will have the effect of an indirect rppeal to the mercy and commiser ation of those who are torturing the remnant of my life by letters and a'/plications, generally respectful, often kind, but always increasing my exhaustless labors, and unin tentionally prostrating all the ease : and comfort of my life. If the ex pressions in that letter should have the Effect of savins me from thus being killed with kindness, your book will become a blessing to me, as I hope it will to yourself.” In this same letter Jefferson speaks thus of Ills religious beliefs, "To the enquiries in yours of Nov. | 23, I answer, ‘Say nothing of my religion. It is known to my God and myself alone?. Its evidence be fore the world is to be sought in my life. If that hrs been hoheat and dutiful to society, the religion which has regulated it cannot be a • bad one.’ “ I one or the letters which has been published Is one of the most Inter esting that has ever passed through the hands of Mr. Madigan during his twenty-five years in the auto graph business, he said. In a few sentences Mr. Jefferson clarified whatever doubt may have been In the mind of his correspondent about the authorship of tire Dec laration of Independence. In part, Jefferson wrote: ‘ Your statements of the correc tions of the Declaration of Inde pendence by Dr. Franklin and Mr. Adams are neither of them at all exact. I should think it better to say generally that the rough draught was communicated to these two gentlemen, who, each, made 3 or 3 short verbal alterations only, but even this is laying more stress on mere composition than it merits, for that alone was mine; the sent iments were of all America” TRUSTEE’S SALE.
