JEFFERSON.
Mr. Jeffi-rsOn was beyond tlje orrlinarv
dilheiisioos, being upwards of six feet
two ini-lies in height, thin, bill well form
ed, ereef in his carnage arid imposing in
his appearani e. His ,(iini| h-xion was
lair, liis hair, nriginaily red, became white
and silvery in old age, his eyes w;ere light
blue, sparkling with inieiligcnip, aipt
heaniing w ith pbilanllitopy ; liis iii«e was
large, his liirchcad broad, anil his whole
oiinieotjni.p iudi, an _tl pnifoiuia tliouelil.
His mmmers weie simple and polished,
vet dignified, and all who approached
him Witp rendered perfecilyai ease, both
by his disposition being cheerful, his con
versation was lively and enthusiastic, re-
markable for the purity ol’bis colloquial
diction, and the correct ness of^his phrase
ology. He disliked firm and parade, and
his dress was remarkably plain, and of-
'lett slovenly. Benevolence and liberali
ty were prominent trails in hisdisposilion.
To bis slaves be was an indulgent mas
ter. Asa neiglilipr. he was much esteem
ed for Ins liberality anti friendly offices
As n frimd, he was arrle.nl nnchange-
able ; and as a" host, the mnhificencp of
libspitalii v was carried to thp excess of
sell-impoverishment. He possessed great
fortitude ofniind, and his eouimaitd of
temper was snch ihnl he was never in a
passion.
Asa man of letters, and ft vntarvof sci-
nee, lie acquired high distinction. In
tin- classics, and in several European lan-
gauges, ns well as m-uheitiiitics. he attain
d a proficiency not • common to Amerb
ini stiideni
With regard to his political opinions,
ttd his character its a statesman, his
oiiinrviii' 11 have w ulclv differed in.their
esliicalcs. By some fiersons he has been
itifidered as one 01 the ntost pure,
amiable, dignified, w ise mid patriotic of
men. By others lie has been considered
as rentark lily defective in the qualities
w bu ll dignilv and adorn human life, mid
as one ol the most wrong-beaded states
men that ever lived. Posterity w id judge
wltiih of these opinions is right. His
writings, which, agreeable to directions
left bv ItiVii. have been published sinee

ORIGIN OF I.M PR IriONAl ENT FOR
DEBT.
An old and ..valuable .member of the
bar, yesterilay explained to Us llie origin
of imprisonment fir debt. It seems that
ItVEnglimd, the. debtor was original sum-'
molted tn appear and answer the demand
against him. Whether able or unable to
pay, his person Wits free. But legal in
genuity suggested a mode by w hich to
imprisonbis obligation. The declaration
Witsiniroducetl and matle to allege, among
vitrious other .charges against the debtor,
tliat lie bail devised and contrived to de
ft nod hiscreditor. The acknowledgement
of die debt or a verdict against him, was
ehiistriicled .in cnibrqce w hilever was
eomaineil in the di-cl-tration—so that, if
the debtor were unable to dischntge 'the
debt, the court proceeded to imprison
hitn— not oq account ol the debt, but
for ihe-lrautl which was thus - construct •
reply admitted or pioved- iigaitist bitn.—
And from thisficiioi. of the law is derived
bar laws for the imprisonment of debtors..
It appears, then, that it was not thri'ijei
rigiuat purpose of the English law to sub-
ject a ,|et(tor to:itnprisoiitrieni, litr the non
payment of liis debts ; and:that lie nev

debtor was derived, from that country,

not’by legal eimelitiririi, Imt-liji subtle cbn-
