Excerpt from Thomas Jefferson
Mr. Jefi'erson's name is one which causes men to difi'er, and to fall into heated debate. There are those who say that modern America is Jefierson, and those who declare that his political principles have long since been cast into the trash-pile. Some of the wise men say that, of all the fathers, he was the most far-sighted, understood the people the best, and had the correctest idea of the demo cratic-republican theory of government. Other men, equally wise so far as I know, afiirm in the strongest terms that J efierson did not possess enough constructive ability to manufacture a political chicken-coop. Be tween sages so far apart, seekers after the truth will probably find it.
