MEMOIRS OF JEFFERSON.
Memoirs, Correspondence, and Private Papers of
Thomas Jefpehson, laic President of the United
States. Now first published from the original Manu
scripts. Edited by Thomas Jefferson Randolph. 4
vols. 4320. Colburn and Bendy.
(continued.)
The Iasi letter in these volumes is from Jefferson to
Mr. Weightman, dated ten days belore his death, Juno
24th, 182ti, expressing his sorrow at being unable to he
present at the celebration ol the fiftieth anniversary in
Washington. Tho calm judgment ot his age adhered
with undiminished earnestuesss to the deliberately-a
dopted principles ol his earliest political life, and the re
petition of ins principles and his hopes, in these his last
recorded words, will he read with double interest, from
die occasion on which they were written, and because
they niay bo justly regarded us the divini hominis eve
ned vox et oiatio.
“Monticeleo, June 21,182C.
I he kind invitation I received from you, on the
part of die < itizens of tho City of Washington, to be pre
sent with them at their celebration of the fiftieth anni
versary of American Independence, as one of the sur
viving signers of an instrument pregnant w ith our own,
and the tate of the world, is most Battering to myself,
ami heightened by the honorable accompaniment pro
posed for the comfort of such a journey. It adds sensi
bly to tho suffering of sickness to be deprived by it of
po.sonal participation in the rejoicings ot that day, but
acquiescence is a duty under circumstances not placed
among those wo arc permitted to control. I should, in
deed, with peculiar delight, liavo met nml exchanged
these congratulations personally with the small baud,
the remnant ol Biat host ol worthies who joined with us
on that day in the bold and doubtful election we were to
make tor our country, between submission or the sword,
and to have enjoyed with them the consolatory tact, that
our fellow-citizens, alter half a century of experience
nml prosperity, continue to approve the choice we made.
May it be to the world, vvlmt i believe it will be (tosome
parts sooner, to others later, but (itially to all,) thu sig
nal ol arousing men to burst (lie chains under which
monkish ignorance and superstition had persuaded them
to bind themselves, and to assume the blessings and se
curity of sell-government. Tnat form which wajiave
substituted restores the free r‘ght to the unbound “ex
ercise of reason and freedom of opinion. All eyes are
opened, or opening to the rights of man. The general
spread o( tho light of science lias already laid open to
every view (lie palpable truth, Biat (lie mass ot mankind
lias not been born with saddles on their backs, nor a
tavored lew booted and spurred, ready to ride them
legitimately by the grace ot God. These are grounds
ol hope lor others. For ourselves let the annual return
of this day tor ever refresh our recollections of these
rights, and an undiminished devotion to (hem.
“I wilt ask permission here to express the pleasure
with which I should have met my ancient neighbors
of the City of Washington and its vicinities, with whom
1 passed so many years ol a pleasing social intercourse
—an intercourse which so much relieved tho anxieties
ot tlie public cares, and left impressions so deeply en
graved in my affections as never to be forgotten. With
my regret that ill health forb ds mo th s gratification of
an acceptance, be pleased to receive for yourself, and
those for whom you write, the assurance of my high
est respect and friendly attachments.
“THOMAS JEFFERSON.”
Vol. iv. p. 151.
We know nothing more beautiful in tho records of
tho retirement ot illustrious mon, than tho manner in
which these veteran statesmen renewed and continued
their correspondence. Their opposition had been one
of real and most important principle. It was ardent in
proportion to its sincerity. It is obvious, however, that
in respect to their private intercourse, Adams had fallen
off from Jeflerson, not Jefferson from Adams But in
1S11 (two years after Jefferson's retirement from the
Presidency) Adams,in conversation with a mutual friend,
adverted to the unprincipled licentiousness of the press
against Jefferson and added, “I always loved Jtirerson,
and still love him.” 1 his was communicated to Jeffer
son, who had always lamented the interruption of their
private friendship, and in another monih wo fmd their
correspondence renewed.
The opinions ol Jefferson on all the most important
questions in morals, polities, and religion:—On the true
principles of good Government: (I) —On the characters

examination is conducted by the aea lemic staff, in pre

Ihit-k proper to at'end. The proficiency esl ihiled by
the cadet* iu civil and military engineering, mathe

creditable to 'hemseivr*, a* it is honorable to their in
structure, and it i* to u* a matter of surprise and re

examination*. Their presence would be hailed with

Wr.sT Point.—The throng f victors to this place
ha* for several days I ack been very great. The bold
kep1 t»y Mr. C. ZZeni lias been crowded to overllo .ving,
and while it e ladies have been .rammed 1 y sixes in
the bed reinin', the gentlemen have been h ’|»py io re*
pose by dus-n* on the drawing roam floor. Upon
landing, a few days since, wo found at the dork a very
comfortablo wagon to c.nry up the passengers, and an*
other for the baggrge. The Board of Vi-imrs being In
wessi' n, we proceeded directly to the examination hall,
where the four li clana wui d-rgolng a niorf ri^id
scrutiny in thdr etudl*». The President of the Bum!
sud Ihe cflic rs of the iuelltuti n were in full drew.
Two orderly reigeanis were in attendance upon the
Board. •
The answers of he young men were p-enera’ly prompt
•ud satisfactory, am] it must 1>0 coi.ressrd It at their
mathsiiniical pursuit* are cf the most diflicult kind.
Our college «:udi-s and examination* nre children’s
pity compared with thore at West Point. A young
gentleman from Albany a< quitted himself well on lhi>
occatioii.
In the evening a dres’ parade w\s held os usual, at
wl.irh the vi.'iiors, or most of them, were present. The
discipline ol the Cadets is in a very perfect state, and
!\ ‘\a beautiful sight to witness rheir evening drill.
1 he hand of music is an excellent one.al'liough iho toss
ot Willis cannot be made up to it. We were regaled o-i j
the parade ground with lb; choicest pieces from the
operas of Maassitnello and Cmderella. Among the
attractive objects which visitors are generally taken to
»ee, are Ihe monuments, pu ieu'arly that created to
Kosciusko, and the little niche in ihe mountain’s side
which is dignified wiih the name of ICosciuako’s gar
den. A marble ba-in receives the water of a tioe
spring at this p’ace, and is ii scribed with his name.
1 ort I utnam amt I ort Clinton are the only ruins at
the Point. I he one is on the high ground above Ihe
plain, end the other is «t the Point, and its outlines are
still preceptible. Two French Engineers, (Jnvion and
l orlail, are said to have laid out the work.. The Alta*
demy iieelt commenced i s operations iu 1801 or 2, uuder
the superinteiidance ol (Jen. Wt* inn.*.
The views from ihe Point are all beautiful.— No
thing «ari he finer than tint from the piazzt of the hotel
up the river to Newburgh. For uine mile* the water
ex lends before vcu. having the deep foundations of Hi»
eternal hills. The olher curiosiies ol ihe Point aro the
Library which contains a spier did lull l-ngih likeness

cals, and un the stands was a fine display of maps.
lu Iho drawing academy we were shown a great
number oi beautiful drawings in pencil and chalk, made
:-y itie Cadet*, under the Unli-m ol Professor (Jim
hrele. They gave evidence cf great skill and taste,
and tome ot them were rsaby exquisite productions.
The chemical lecture room and apparatus w re also
interesting *ubj*c:8 of remark. 7'ho Jotter seemed to
be ample and welt chosen.
1110 |>li:rjsoptiu-al apparatus in Ihe story above llie
lec uro ro:m, wil also admirable. The Telescope, a
French instrument, with it* well-contrived stand, at
•racted our attention. It is tbe largest in the United
States. It was an easy thing to read through it, the
1 ante oi a steamboat lying at Ihe wharf at Newburgh.
All the latest modibcat on* of pbdosophical apparatus
•re exemplified iu It is collection.
It was very evident to us that a splendid ns well as
ureful education is to be afaitied at West Paint, but it
requires the whole mental an! physical strength of the
student to be successful. A large proportion of the
Cadets are unable to go through the course. The
standard ia h’gh, and very many fall jn attaining it.
We should advise no young man to enter Ihe school
West Point, unless he has made up hi* mind to en
dure hardship and laliguea of body and mind. We may
softly say, it is the most scientific institution in the
world! the military academies in England (all far be
low it.
On ’he evening of our arrival, there was a ball a( the
Uriel, and tho dancing was kept up with great spirit.
The visiters have a separate table lor themselves, to
which they invite such persons arriving at Ihe Point
?s they think proper.
On Friday afternoon thera was a grand display of
artillery tactics. The Cadets manoeuvred several
pieces of caf.non with great effect. Their movements
were rapid, and their firings were in the most beautiful
ityle. The government choir'd provide horses for these
drills, for at present the Cadets are actually detailed
to do their duty.
On Saturday afternoon there was a grand exercise
of tiring with cannon halls and shell*.—Two six poun
ders, two nines, two six ineh howitzers, and a ten
inch mor'ar wore used. One target on the west side
of the river was placed at the distance of 1500 yard*;
tho one opposite the point at Ihe distance of about 50o’
This was repeatedly hit, and all the halls struck with
in a few feet of the mark. The accuracy of the aim
was very rrmatka'I*. A vessel or haflion would
have been easily demolished by this fire. The shell*
were also beautifully thiotvn. A finer spectacle can
scarce he conceived than the flight and bursting of a
• hell. Nnr wa* another partofthe surprise less agreea
ble, the echoes of the guns. Tho reverberations were
astonishingly prolonged. From mountain to mountain
rang Ihe peal of Ihe artillery, like the thunder of
heaven, till it died away in the distance with a sul
len roar.
In Ihe evening, some beautiful fire-works were
thrown up by tire cadets, and tires were kindled on Fort
Putnam. The I and serrnaded Ihe gueetr, and all wa*
gaiety and good humor.
Among the interesting reminiscence* of our visit are
tho*e connected with the widow of fl-n, Alexan'er
Hamilton. This, lady, at the age of 76 year*, rises
early in the morning, and trkes lire most active ex
ercise. She went up to Fort Putnam with as much appa
rent easo as any of .he young people who attended Iu r.
Another was the arrival and departure of the ex-S*c
relary ol Slate, and to us another, the polite nacs ar d
civility received from (Jen. Van Cortland! md Mr.
Dudley of the hoard of visi ors. Our own city was
well represented, and we left behind us several of our
most agreeable art! distinguished citizen*.
Ol Mr. Ct.ZZen*’ Hotel we would remark, that it is a
•plemlid house, and is kept in the best style. T. e
kindness and good humor of the host leave a very fa
vorable impression on Ihe minds of hi* guests. In short,
'Vest Point is a plarr of no ordinary interest, and a*
inch we commend it to the notice ol all persons of taste
and refinement.

At the same time a communication was made to Gene

that the disturbance* with the Ind an at H>rk Island,

with General Gaines, expreised a drt rminitiun to
remain ar.d dispute the oecujation of the ground at all
hazards. General Gaines, (hough ahundan ly able to
chastise the Indians with his present force, very wisely
prefers, if possible, to overawe them without blood-had.
-■nJ has therefore called unon the Governor of III,n'is
or a reinforcement of 700 Illinois militia. G-ntl-men
arriving from the scene of disturbances, speak in veiy
strong term* of the hostile disposition evinced ly the
Indians, and report that the settlers are abandoning the
country *n various directions, through fear of them.
