BENZ ROBINSON, President.
The New York Courier has the follow.
ing paragraph on a much disputed point:
WashinGton's Fare;peH address The long moo
ted question Of the writer of Washington's Fare.
well Address, is, we have reason TO know, on the
point Of beng settled by the publication of MIR,
.hadson's manuscript writings. Al the close Of
the first Presidential term of Washington, be wrote
to Mr. Madison to draw up for him his ell
address to the people Of tie U States. With this
request Mr.. Madison complied, but circumstances
subsequently, occurring which induced Washing
Ion to serve another term, it was laid aside al the
moment and rot given 10 the world till his final
retirement, when the PAPER first drawn up still met
the approval OF Washington, ana with very slight
alteration was published.
Mr. Madson's origina! draN, together with the
subsequent alterations. is now among bis Papers.
Aliuslon 10 Mr., Madison as the writer of tho ad.
dress, will b, found in Jeffersons works. in pri-
yate letter to Judge Johnson OF Virginia, TO which
fact may be attributed tho consent given BY Mr..
Madison TO allow the circumstances Of his writing
Tho address to become known after liz death.
The foregoing statement is repuhIshed in
the American, the editor Of which accom-.
panles it with the following remarks;
We DO not doubt that Gen Washington did. on
occasion Of preparing hi, farewell address, as up
cn other occasions, invite ggesij6as from those
in whom he couhded; Lui if there lie anything ia
internal evidence, any thing in homogeneous man.
heG OF thinking, and expressed thoughts, through
q period Of more than thirty years, then can no
one, in our judgment, doubt that the farewell sd.
dress, as published, was mainly, in its topics, tie
manner Of treating them, and It's tone sud coio.-
ing, the conception and work Of Washingtons own
mind. II We had ever doubted on this subject, our
doubts would be put at rest by the Writings OF
Washington" as published By Mr.. Sparks and
which have now reached the ninth volume. Thore
is, throughout all, applicable to every subject
that occupied his attention. and wherever the mat
ter Admitted it, the same remarkable impress -
common sense, CAIN Judgment, knowledge Of hu-
man nature, personal dIsnteres,cdness, solicituds
for the public veal, aud far-reuching vision into the
future, which characterize the farewell address.
Washington doubtless borrowed from other
minds; but Whist he thus borrowed he made he
own, by assimisting il with the traits Of his ows
sound and cminently honest mind.
State Loan.-We learn that the Loan OF
100000, authorized by the last Legisa-
ture, has been negotiated at pdr-iuterest
payable in Raleigh. One. fourth thereof
was sold to our University, and three fourths
to the United States.-Ral. Register.
