: IHE ParERs OF MEssRs. JEFFERSON, MADr
SON. HAMILTON, AND MoNRoE-This interest
ing letter is from the New York Journal o
Commerce:
WAsHIsoroS, Oct 90, ls4S.
The administration have practically decided
tne question as 10 the government Of Califor-
MA and New Mexico, by leaving them without
any government for the present. The military
government will not be continued and no other
Is to be substituted. The inhabitants. shouId
Congress not act very promptly on the terrific
RAJ Dill, at the next session, will of course pro
VIDE themselves with provisional government.
but In the meantime, our revenue and post
once establishments have been extended to
them. Post-ofhces are to be established under
the law of the late session, at Monterey, San
Trinidad, and San Diego. Appointments have
been made from the two former places. From
oan Diego 10 some point on the lower Missis-
siPPi a railroad is much talked of, and in course
OF time will no doubt be constructed.
Under the late acts of Congress, the Jeifer-
son and Madison papers have been offered to the
Secretary Of State, and they are to be published
BY the government. The Jefferson papers are
voiuminous. Besides territorial and political
dispositions and correspondence. they embrace
treatises on moral and religious topes-and par
tieularly comment on the life and character
of st. Paul.
Mr.. Jefferson was perhaps more careful of pa
Pers than any man that ever lived, except the
late John Y. Adams. Mr. Jefferson kept copirs
Of every paper that he ever wrote, even on the
most trifiDg subject. He invented n copying
press and had several made in France. One
that he much used is now extant and in the
hands of n gentleman in Richmond. Equally
careful he was in preserving every paper that
he ever received His papers and those of Mr.
Madison are in admirable order.
The Madison papers lately purchased and
soon TO be published by far the most valua-
BILE Of any which the government have yet OBJ
tanned or can obtain. They are replete with
valuable information concerning the origin and
principles Of our government. and will show, if
indeed any further evidence is wanting Of the
fact, that to Mr.. Madison we are chiefly in
debted for the adoption Of our happy frame Of
government.
The Hamilton papers, also authorised TO be |
purchased, have not yet been placed at the dis |
Posal Of the Secretary of State.
The papers left by the Late ex President Mon |
roe have been collected and prepared for the |
press, and their publication will no doubt be en-
couraged by the government. They are said to |
be very valuable and interesting. They en-
brace treatise on the elementary prineiplrs OF /
government as written by Mr.. Monroe ia re-
tirement and not long prior TO his death, and an |
auto biography of his public life up TO the year
