-- Thomas Jefferson, Notes on the State of Virginia (1785) “Those who labour in the earth are the chosen people of God, if ever he had a chosen people, whose breasts he has made his peculiar deposit for substantial and genuine virtue. It is the focus in which he keeps alive that sacred fire, which otherwise might escape from the face of the earth. Corruption of morals in the mass of cultivators is a phaenomenon of which no age nor nation has furnished an example.” -- Thomas Jefferson, Notes on the State of Virginia (1785) Mather Brown, Thomas Jefferson (1786).

“"The Providential Detection" depicts Jefferson attempting to destroy the Constitution In this cartoon, Thomas Jefferson kneels before the altar of Gallic despotism as God and an American eagle attempt to prevent him from destroying the United States Constitution. He is depicted as about to fling a document labeled "Constitution & Independence U.S.A." into the fire fed by the flames of radical writings. Jefferson's alleged attack on George Washington and John Adams in the form of a letter to Philip Mazzei falls from Jefferson's pocket. Jefferson is supported by Satan, the writings of Thomas Paine, and the French philosophers. “ Source: http://www.loc.gov/exhibits/jefferson/images/vc136.jpg
