A true copy* Arte 11, EDWIN T . HARRIS Clerk (j the Houfe cf Rcpre- faitaltves. BOSTON, January <27. ( Extract cf a later j run Prefi dent Jefferson, to a gentleman in Marblehead. “ I am happy in your appro bation of the principles I avow ed on entering on the govern- O CO merit —Ingenious minds availing themfelves of the imperfection of language, have tortured the expreflions cut of their plain meaning: in order to infer denar O I lures from them in practice.— If revealed religion has not been able to guard 1 tie If agairvftgmif interpretations, I could not ex pert it. But, if an admmiftra tion, quadrating with the ob vious import ot my language, can conciliate the affedlions of my opponents, 1 will merit their conciliation.” I low juft and noble the above fentiment,! For if the Word of GOD has been fo diftorted, as to fpcak a meaning never in tended by thr infpired Penman, it is not ftrange if the lame abufe happens to human compofitLons With what fortitude and firrn nefs does he fpcak, when he fays, “ his admin, ft ration fhail quadrate with the obvious mean ing of his language !”—May he notexpeht to meet with that at laft— Well dene good and faithful j fa vant b Mr. Bnukenridge, of Ken tucky, and General Jaekjcn of Georgia, have made excellent j fpeeches in the senate of cht United States, in favoi of the ! repeal of the Judiciary Bill.— ! I heir fpeeches contain an ample refutation ot the arguments ad -1 duccd in it» fupport. The lat- I ter of chcfc gentlemen has been ; honored bv an uncommon diarc uf federal abufe and virulence, and has been forced to fneak a language which would difgrace a fciiool boy, in an addrels forged bv an old Tory, laid to have been delivered on his de parture for the Senate of the United States. We regret that it is not in our power, at prefenc, to g.ve the debates on this high ly nte re fling fubjed; we can not, however, refill the inclina tion to gratify cur readers with an ex trad from the fpeech of Genenl Jachfon , and leave them to judge whether this gentleman is wanting in abilities as a fciio lar and 'a flank man.
