He said, “I have not been in the habit of mysterious reserve on any subjet nor of buttoning up my opinions within my own doublet. ON THE CONTRARY, while in public jervice, especially, I thought the public entitled to frankness, and intimately to know whom they employedMr Jefferson immediately unbuttoned his doublet and didn’t hesitate to "get a bit rough” (Governor Almond has said he can play it "rough”). However, Mr- .Jefferson expressed hope for the countryHe concluded, “I do not think their amendments so diffi»ult as is pretended. Only lay down true principles and adlere to them inflexibly. Do not be frightened into surrender }y the alarms of the timid or the croakings of wealth igainst the ascendancy of the people. Much is heard on all sides about “Jeffersonian Pnnciiles,” they are truly great....all are agreed so undo ton ,-our doublet and let your newspaper know - hat you think, [efferson said, in part, opinions should be P'-bbshod m the newspapers, “where alone they would b i generalh read, ind produce general effect.” etter taken from the papers of Thomas Jefferson, Suited y Thomas Jefferson Randolph.
