bargain with the Committee was, that
he should receive five hundred dollars
a year, and if he gave perfect salts

dred more. Of course, at the end Of
the time, he did not suit; (why should
he have done SO, when it would have
cost the town two hundred dollars y
and he was furnished with leave Of
absence. lothian could swallow a.
ny thing in reason, but this was too
bad. To paciiy him, they promised
a recommendation of good behavior
and first rate qualifications as a school
master, and of their perfect satisfac-
ton with him. lothian was satisfied
with the bargain and the recommen-
dation was given. lothian saw that
all was right, and then squaring up to
the committee, he said--Ill Just

cording to agreement, for I've got

The Committee were beaten, and had
to settle with lothian on his own
terms.

WAsHINGroN's FAREWELL AppREss.
The long mooted question Of the
writer Of Washington's Farewell ad-
dress, is we have reason to know on
the point of being settled by the pub
LEGATION Of Mr.. Madison's manuscript
writings. At the close of the first
Presidential term Of Washington, he
wrote to Mr.. Madison to draw up for
him his farewell address to the peo-
pie Of the United States. With this
request Mr.. Madison complied. but
subsequently occurring
which induced Washington to serve
another term. it was LAID aside at the
moment and not given to the world
till his final retirement, when the pa
per first drawn up still met the appro /
val of Washington, and with verv
slight alteration was published.
Mr.. Madison's original draft. tcreth-
or with the subsequent alterations. is
now among his papers. AlIusion to
MIR. Madison as the writer of the ad-
iress. will be found in Jeffersons
works. IN a private letter to Judge
Johnson of Virginia. to which fact
nay be attributed the consent given
y Mr.. Madison to allow the circum-
tance of his writing the address TO
'ecome known after his death.
