it belongs to an occasional correspondence of some year's btanding between lord macaulay and lion henry s randall of new york author of the life of jefferson :" holly lodge kensington i london may 23 1857 j henry 8 randall esq dear sir yon are surprised to learn that 1 liavo not a high epiuicu of mr jefferson and 1 am surprised at your surprise i am cerium that 1 never wrote a line and that i never in parliament in conversation or even on the liii-tinj_;rs — a place where it is the fash ion to court the populace — uttered a word indicating au opinion that the supreme au thority in a state ought to bo intrusted to the majority of citizens told by the head ; in oilier words to the poorest and most ignorant part of society 1 have long been convinced that institution purely demo cratic must sooner or later destroy liber ty or civilization or both in europe where the population is dense the effect of such institutions would bo almost instantaneous what happen ed lately in france is an example in 1 48 a pure democracy was established there during lhe short time there was reason to expect a general spoliation a na tional bankruptcy a new partition ofthe soil maximum of prices a ruinous load ot taxation laid on the rich for the purpose of supporting the poor ill itllene such a system would in twenty years have made franca as poor and barbarous as france of the carlovingians happily the danger was averted ; and now there is a despot ism a silent tribune an enslaved press liberty is gone ; but civilization has been saved i have not tbe smallest doubt that if we had a purely democratic govern ment here the effect would be the same either tho poor would plunder the rich and civilization would perish ; or order and property would bo saved by a strong mil itary government and libetty would per ish y'ou may think that your country en joys all exemption irom these evils i will frankly own to you that i am of a very different opinion your late 1 believe to be certain though it is deferred by a phy , sical cause as long as you have a bound ) less extent of fertile and unoccupied land your laboring population will be far more at ease than the laboring population of lbe i old world ; and while that is the case the ! jeffersonian policy may continue to exist j without causing any fatal calamity \ jtjut the timo will come when new epg laud will be as thickly peopled as old england wages will be as low and will fluctuate ns much with you as wilh ub — 7tin will have your maticliestcrs and bir taiughains hundreds of thousands of arti i|is will

eagerness to agilators who tell him that it is a nonstrous iniquity that oue man shouldhave a million while another cannot get a fill meal in bad years there is plenty tf grumbling here and sometimes a litile rio.ing but it matters little for here the infferors arc not the rulers the supreme jower is in the hands of a class numerous ndeod but select of no educa ted class of a class which is and knows itself to be deeply interested in the securi ty of propeity and thn maintenance of or der accoidingly the malcontents are firmly yet gontly restrained the bad time is got over without robbing the weal thy to relieve the indigent tbe springs ; of national prosperity soon begin to flow again work is plentiful ; wages rise and all is tranquility and cheerfulness 1 hive seen england pass three or four litnes hl'ough such critical seasons as 1 have described through such seasons the i'liletl sttites will have to pass ill the coursdof the next century if not of this how vill you pass through them 1 lieu lily wish vim a good deliverence hut my reason and my wishes are at war and 1 cannot help foreboding the worst it is quite plain that your government will ne ver be ible to restrain a distressed and discontented majority for with you the majority is the government and lias the rich who nre always a minority absolute ly at its mercy the day will come when in ihe slate of new vork a multitude of people none of whom has bad more than half a breakfast or expects to have more lhan half a dinner will choose a legisla ture is it possible to doubt what sort of legislature will be chosen i < u one side , is a statesman preaching patience respect lit « i it ii on the right is tlie demagogue ' ranting about the tyranny of capitalists and usurpers and asking why anybody should be permitted to think champagne and to ride in a carriage while thousands ' of honest folks are in want of necessaries which of the two candidates is likely to be preferred by a working man who hears hi children cry for more bread ! 1 seri ously apprehend thai you will in some such season of adversity as lhave describ ed do things which will prevent prospt ci ty from returning j lhat you will act like people would in a year ol scarcity devour all the seed-corn and thus make the next i year a year not of scarcity but of absolute famine there will be i fear spoliation the , spoliation will

downward progress either civilizaiton or liberty must perish either some ca sar or napoleon will seize the reins of go vernment with a strong hand or yuur re public will be as fearfully plundered and laid waste by the barbarians in the twen tieth century as the roman empire was in the fifth with this difference : that the huns and vandals who ravaged the ro man empire came from without and that your huns and vandals wi'l have been engendered within your country by your own institutions thinking ihuw of course i cannot reck on jefferson among the benefactors of man kind i readily admit that his intentions were good and his abilities considerable odious stories have been circulated about his private life but i do not know on whal evidence those stories rest and i think it probable that

news letter from john quincy adams the following is the letter of john quin cy adams esq accepting the nomination of tho massachusetts state convention for governor : qtfrncy october 5 1867 horatio g parlcr esq president of the uemocratic convention xc dear sir : i have just received your letter informing me of my nomination by the " democratic and conservative men of massachusetts o be their condidate for governor of the commonwealth at the next election i pray you as president of the convention to accept on behalf of that body my thanks for the compliment to the name i inherit conscious that 1 have neither aspiration nor peculiar fitness for the position 1 had at the first suggestion to me of such action . requested the chairman of the democratic i committee to withdraw my name abso . lutcly from the consideration of the meet i ing this course having proved iueffect ; tual it only remains for me now to decide whether i have good reason to persist iu . that withdrawal 1 after having been reluctantly compell i ed to differ with my friends ofthe repub lican party last fall upon grave political f 1 questions 1 wished to avoid any public . action for at least two years as 1 hoped ) in that peri.nl to eoirect or confirm my . i opinions upon national policy and no ear lier opportunity for effective intervention i in national affairs would oiler 1 think however that in momentous times an man's fellow-citizens may demand from him a definite expression upon pub o lie affaire if they think it worth while to ask it and no man of ordinary self-respect can evade the call i regard tjlis nomina tion as such a call upon me anil i wish to answer it with perfect frankness i have hoped to find common ground to stand upon wilh the mass of conservative men whom i sincerely respect who still act with the republican party but the recent course of tbat party lias very much abated my confidence in such a result they seem very lately at worcester to have allowed their hatred of a man to sup ply the lack of any declaration of princi ples on national affairs and their dread of intestine strife to gag their speech on state questions so far as the latter convention over which you presided thought fit to promul gate official opinions i find nothing ad vanced in them which i cannot adopt al though i confess that i entertain some strong opinions upon some questions which i presume it was thought were not involv ed in such a purely tocal issue as that be fore us i am glad to see the doctrine of state rights as understood and promulgated by the founders of our commonwealth and by the fathers of our national union rescued from unmerited obloquy and cherised by you as it must be by all if the new en gland states are to retain their senatorial preponderance in congress upon questions of finance and taxation it is difficult to reconcile the incompetence which pervades our system of imposts with a presumption of honest iutent iu the le gislators who framed it no man who assumes a capacity to make laws at this day should dare to plead in excuse of bis blunders au abject ignorance of lhe first priuciples of political economy and an utler indifference to the recorded results of experience but the intolerable burden of an exploded and unsciencientific plan of internal taxation combined with a tariff which is nothing but legalized rob bery most have been saddled upon the people by grof s ignorance or fraud and if not speedily removed it will lurnish the exhausted taxpayer with a semblance of tional questions by our votes at this elec tion further than by demanding as is done in the resolutions of your convention a rigid economy in state expenditure j and i turn to the practical and immediate ques tions of state policy which only are pro perly before us for decision upon these questions i see no consider able divergence between the conflicting parties except that one has thought fit t renounce what i have always considered the most essential attribute of a parly — an opinion upon the local question which seems most to interest the people of the commonwealth 1 confess that my inclination is to an open declaration by men and parties of what they think upon any questions of considerable debate the c urso of the convention over which you had tho honor to preside seems to me therefore to stand in very favora | hie contrast to the timorous and time serv ing tone of the previous convention at worcester i am the more compelled hy the politi cal jockeyinglhore attempted because i be lieve that most of the wise and conservative men of the republican party jusly regard these sumptuary laws as preposterous in vasions by statute ofthe lawful domain of morals when called on therefore to take a side upon tho questions touched by the resolu tions of the conflicting parties i should meanly equivocate if 1 attempted to dis guise my hearty preference for the policy declared hy the democratic convention after this loo detailed avowal of my opinions i should feel that 1 arrogated au absurd importance to my personal prefer ences if 1 should still declince to tand as the candidate of the large and respectable
