JEFPERSON’S OPINION OF ANDREW JACK SON. I foel muck alarmed at the it of see ing Geu. Jackson President. He is one of the most unfit men I know of for such a place. He has had very little respect for jaws or consti- tutions, and is, in fact, an able military chief His passions are terrible. When I was Presi- dent of the Senate he was a Senator ; and he could never speak on account of the rashnese of his feelings Ihave seen him attempt it repeatedly, and as often choke with rage. His passions are no doubt cooler now; he has been much tried since [ knew him, but he isa dan- gerous man. ap At the present moment a Jew stands at the head of nearly every walk in life through - out Europe. The Rothschilds command the money market of Europe, in Paris, some in Vienna, some in London, and that family loaned immense sums tu both Russia on the one hand, and the Allies on the other, in the late war in Europe In literature, for cen- turies they have produced the ablest scholars, ne subtiest of all thinkers, the foremost men ofeach age. In the dark ages, and amid the greatest persecution, they produced lights whcese lustre still shines; and now in England, a Jew, D’leraeli, leads the House of Com- mons, and a Jew is Lord Mayor of London. In Germany at least a half a dozon of the most distinguished professors are that race The great Neander himeelf was one of them, nd Mendelssohn, who was the envy of Goethe his power of language. In Spain, men of this nation have, in former days as professet Jesuits, while secretly retaining their own faith, obtained direction even of the Inquisi- tion. In fact, there are few beights of power to which they have not attained, as there are no amounts of persecution they have not en- dured No matter what they undertake they seen to push it through with a vigor and an erterprise that carry their point to the furthest attainable degree, and farther than will be reached by any other.

Mr. Jefferson is now between eighty-one and eighty-two, above six feet high, of an ample, long frame, rather thin and spare. His head, which is not peculiar in its shape, is set rather forward on his shoulders; and his neck being long, there is, when he walking or con- versing, an habitual protrusion of it. It is still well covered with hair, which, having been once red, and now turning gray, is of an indistinct sandy color. 8 eyes are small, very light. and now neither brilliant nor striking. His chin is rather long, but not pointed. His nose small, regular in its outline, and the nostrils a little elevated. His meuth is well formed, and still filled with teeth ; it is strongly compressed, bearing an expression of contentment and be nevolence. His complexion, formerly light and freckled, now bears the marks of age and cutaneous affection tis limbs are uncom- monly long; his hands and feet very large. and his wrists of an extraordinary size Hi: walk is not precise and military, but easy and swinging. He stoops a little, not so much from age as from natural formation. When sitting. he appears short, partly fiom a rather loung- ing habit of sitting, and partly from the dis- proportionate length of his limbs His dress, when in the house, is a gray sur- tout coat. kerseymere stuff waistcoat, with an under one taced with some material of a dingy red. His pantaloons are very long and loose, and of the same color as his coat. His stock- ings are woollen, either white or gray; and his shoes of the kind that bear hisuame His whole dress is very much neglected. but not slovenly He wears 2 common round hat | His dress, when on horseback, is a gray | straight-bodied coat, and a spencer of the same material, both fastened with large pearl buttons. When we first saw him. he was riding; and, in addition to the above articles of apparel, wore round his throata knit white woollen tippet, in the place of a cravat, and black velvet gaiters under his pantaloone. | liis general appearance indicates an extraor- dinary degree of health, vivacity and epirit His sight ix still good, for he needs glasses only in the evening. His hearingis generally good, but a number of voices in animated conversa- tion confuse it Mr. Jefferson rises in the morning as soon as he can sec the hands of his clock, which is dircetly opposite his bed, and examines bis thermometer immediately, as he keeps a reg- ular meteorological diary. He employs him self chiefly in writing till breakfast, which is atnine. From that time till dinner he isin his library, excepting that in fair weather he rides on horseback from seven to fourteen miles.

MR_ JEFFERSON'S ACCOUNT OF PATRICK HENRY © Patrick Henry was originally a bar-keeper. He was married very young, and guing into some business, on his own account, was a bankrupt before the year was out. When Ll was about the age of filteen I Jeft the school here to go tothe college at Williamsburg. I stopped a few days at a friend nthe county of Louisa. There | first saw and became ac quainted with Patrick Henry. Having spent the Christmas holidays there, I proceeded to Williamsburg. Some question arose about my admission, as ny preparatory studies had not been pursued at the school connected with that ins! on ‘Lbis deleped my admission about a fortnight, at which time Henry ap- peared in Williamsburg «und applied for a license to pr: 2e law, having commenced tho study of it tT subsequently to the time of my meeting him in Louisa. There were four examiners, Wythe, Pendleton, Peyton Randolph. and John Randolph. Wythe and Pendleton at once rejected his application The two Kandolphs, by his importunity, were prevuiled upon to sign the lieense ; and, hav- ing obtained their signatures, he epplied again to Pendleton, and after much eatreaty and many promises of future study, succeeded in obtaining his. ile then turned out for a prac- ticing lawyer. The first case which brought bim into notice was a contested election, io which he appeared as counsel before a com- mittee of the House of Burgesses. Lis second was the Parsons cause, already wel! known These and similar efforts soon obtained for him so much reputation that he was olected a wem ber of the Legislature. He was as well suited to the times as any member ever was, ani it is not now easy to say what we should lave done without Patrick Henry. He was tar be- jore all in maintaining the spirit of the Kevo- lution. His influence was most extensive with the wembers from the upper counties, and his boldness and their votes overawed and con- trolled the more cool or the more timid aristo- cratic gentlemen of the lower part of the State His eloquence was peculiar, if indeed it should be cailed eloquence; for it was im- pressive and sublime, veyond what can be imagined. Although it was difficult when he had spoken to tell) what he had said, yet, while he was speaking it always scemed di Brevity —A merchant, at a season of bus iness depression, received from one of his customers at a distance, in answer toa pre- vious dun, a letter stating bis difSculties and requesting time ‘The merchant paced his counting room with lowering brow, and stop- ping suddenly, turned to his clerk, and said, “Write to that man without delay.”’ The paper was ready, and the pen filled with ink; but not receiving any message for some moments, the clerk asked : ** What shall I write?” “Something or nothing, and that very quick’? Back to bis desk went the clerk, and rapid- ly moved his fingers over the paper. he letter war sent to the office, and by return of mail came a letter from the customer, inclo- sing the money in full.
