Cretan t In the Bte of Mondny, among the proceoilinjfs of tho Stnto Senate on the Mill of Februnry, I find tlie follow ing: Mr. Sigur twill, "I itm nwloniahcd that u gentleman of the intelligence of the Sona tor from Wist Hulon Rouge (Mr. Clarke) tiliould have fallen into the popular delusion, ihnt tlttj Farewell Addresa waa written by George Washington. It was the joint pro duction of Jrjferiiim'anil MihUsoh." At tlie priMcnt time, when a spirit of disun ion is (ibroud, generated by fanatics North nnd South, any remark tending to lessen the weight (.I'lhu nvdice given by the Futhcr of his Country in his Farewell Address, should receive a marked censure. The honorable Sontilor from New.Orlciiiu aulhorilively re bukes a fellow inciiibcr for his ignorance in believing that the Farewell Address was written by Ocorge Washington. Surh, says the Senator, is popular ilelum'on, the u.ddresn was the joint production ol Jell'erson and Madison." lilvrry American who lias read tho politi cal hisiory of the close of the administration of Washington knows, or should know, that ' Ger rL'e Wuhhiiu'ton waa not mi luiliticnl nr . . I'VIDUIfUl lllll.T ifii. j L1IUI lOll U L UlC lllIIC the celebrated address wasis-wited. Tho his tory of the address is given by tho late John Jay in u Idler to Juilgo Peters, dated Iled ford, Stale of New York, 20th March, 131 1. This letter commences on page 330 of the 2d volume of - Tho life and writiiiy-s of John j Jay, by his Son." This le'tcr fully vindi- cates Washington's title to the authorship, ! by lacu within the knowledge of Jay. If ; sir, you have tlie deep interest in the unsul- lied and spotless character of him who was '' First in war, first in pence, and first in the hearts of Ins countrymen," may I beg of you to publish Mr. Jay's letter. It may prove of great good to some people in our Legislature. Democrat. Dguford, March 29. 1811 Dear Sir" If it be possible to find a man among those whom he esteemed, capable of offering to bkn sucu a present, it is impossible to believe that President Washington was the man to whoin such n present would have been ac oeptuble. They who knew president Wash ington, untl Ins various endowments, qualifi cations, and virtues, know that, aggregately ; considered, they found a tout ensemble which has rarely been equalled, and perhups never I excelled. j Thus much for presumptive evidence. will now turn your attention to some that it is direct. The history (if it may be so called) of the address is not unknown to me ; but us 1 came to the knowledge of it under implied confi dence, I doubted, when I first received your letter, whether I ought to disclose it. On ... . fl ' . . V . lurc rtIlcc"". oecnme convinced, 1,1111 '.' 1 rcsidei t Washington was now alive, ana iniormcd ol the lacts m question, he won d not onlv nuLhnri '7.0 hut flpufrA ma tn reduce, it 1o wriiing; that when necessary, it I migh't be uved (o invalidate the imputations , to which those facts give color. Thisconsid i oration terminated ray doubts. I do not think j that a disclosure is necessary at this moment, but I fear such a moment will arrive. Wheth ' er I ahull then be alive, or in capacity to give testimony, is so uncertain, that in order to avoid the risk of either. I shall now reduce it to writing, and commit it to your cure and ; discretion, de bene esse as the lawyer says. Some time before the address appeared Colonel (afterwards General) Hamilton in- lormeu me, uiui lie nau received a letter from President Washington, and Wilh it the draught ol a farewell uddress, which the President hud prepured, and on which he requested our opinion. He then proposed ' . I 111 I- T. Hamilton ullenUed. He ooserveed to me. i.i words to this alTect -lhat aler having read and examined the draught, it npcared to him to be susceptible of improvement lhat he thought the easiest and best wav to leave . . . . - . the draught untouched and in its fair state ; j BUU 10 writo Hie iioie oxer un ruirii iiinciiu- ments, alterations, nnd correciious as he . muugiii wi re uun.nic ..mui.iui imu uour SO. IIS llieil projioiieu io renu ouu iti nirtnc 11 the subject of our consideration. This beiug agreed to. he rend it; und we proceeded de liberately to discuss and lo consider it, para graph by purngrnph. until the whole met with our mutual approbation : some amend ments were made during tho interview, but none of inurh importance. Although this business hud not been hnsily dispatched yet, aware of the consequence of such a paper. I suggested the giving it a further critical examination ; but he declined it, saying that he was pressed for lime, and was anxious to return the draught to the President with out delay. It afterward occured lo me, that a certain proposition was cxp ressed in terms too general und unqualified, and I hint ed il in a letter to the Prcsidiict. As the business took the course above mentioned, a recurrence to the draghl was unnecessary, und it was not read. There was this ndvuntnge iu the course pursued the President's draught remained fas deli cacy required) fuir, and uot obscured by in terliiicution etc. Hy comparing It with the uiai we snouiu nx on a uay tor an interview ; at ray house on the object. A dny wnsur-nny eordingly appointed. On that duy Colonel sT paper sent with it, he icould fmmedutteljr serve the particular emendations nd eorrrc tions that were proposed; and weald ' ''fitjd f' thern standing in their intended places. Hence he was enabled to review and decide '. on the whole matter, with much jjreater ll clearness and facility than if he bad recclrid ; them in separate uud detached note, and with detailed reference id the ustfe ad - lines, where they were adWsed to bt intro duced. With great esteem and reirarJ I am. dear sir, your obedient servant JOHN JAY. THE CHARLESTON MERCURY. We copy the following from the Mercury because we desire our reader to become fy- J miliar with the sentiments of those friend of Southern Rights, whose intelligence and flrro- , ncss, and moderation, are reliable. If we ' mistake not the position of the Mertury hi '. for the Union, at all hazards, if it can be maiulained in the integrity of the Conslitu- tion. This is all that Union men ask ; for a union without this qualification, is, in fact, flu union at all. The whole of our editorial re kmnrks on the subject will show tho arae -view of the Nashville Convention.. If the "f mutter is settled it will be unnecessary -if it " 4 is not, it will be inefficient, in our opinion, lor reasons which we have already spread at large before the renders of Thi Commerciitl ; I'.fTects of Mr. Websters speech. "I Our respected cotemporary of the Wil- ' mington Cornmurcial, on the receipt ofAtf, Webster's speech, gave way to the feeling that the danger wu now over, and express i: ed doubts whether under the circumstaaees, the people of that State should goon leap- point Delegates to the Nashville Convention. .: VVe cannot but regret such an expression. '. If Mr. Webster were the JS'orth, with the -sentiments he has avowed, we should uot doubt of a satisfactory adjustment of the ' controversy. Dut he is no more than one man, and what proof have we that he ' will be sustained by his section? It b v ' even yet to be seen whether Massachusetts will not rise agMinst him., That thcraisart inclination to do it, appears quite plainly in the first echoes of the press. The Lowell Courier, on receiving a tclegraphje report . of his speech, significantly remarks ihat hie term of service will expire in 1862. The r Boston Atlns of Saturday, says: "The speech, as it has reuched us, caused eon- siderable sensation in this city, and we t must add, not a very satisfactory one,." The National Intelligencer, which has mouth enough for anything that it thinks likely I to please the Northern Wbigs, has given Mr. Webster no pledge of approval, and except in a vague Compliment to his oratory aceont panyii g the speech, has passed it by 8s ft y forbidden topic. As for New York, the speech is warmlv approved by the Herald and the Journal of '"j Commerce. It receives a reloetint and wry faced support from the Courier and In quirer und the Commerciul Advertiser. It is denoiip.cetl with bittr-rne hy the Evenin! ., Post and the Tribune. What will result from out of this, time only can tell. But it i would be cruel self-delusion for the Southern t people to y ield to the belief that the battle is over nnd their peace secure. On the eon- trury, all things are in peril till a settlement, having the fores of law, shall have passed both Houses of Congress. Have we a right to couni on such a consummation ? We see not us yet the evidence of its probability The instructions, of Northern Legislatures hang over the heads of Senators ani Rep- f resentatives ; iheir own denounciations jp( f sluvery, und pledges of eternal war upon it, klare them in the luce. Still more, the firm conviction of each political party, that its ! assent to a fair adjustment with the South, would throw the other into an antagonist ; position and give it the decisive advantage oi the support of the entire Abolition laelion, J is a leaden weight about the necks of pol- f iticians thai allows little nope ol their rising f to any generous or patriotic view 'of the ;, quektiou. Moreover. 'hey eagerly bring to their bo- snitis, one of Mr. Webster's ideas, that ihu u L-ljoa cnnno 00 diMolval.
