WAsHINGToNs ADDREss.-The sale of this
valuable document has been had The pur-
chaser is the Rev. DR.. Boardman, though il is un-
derstood that he acts for friend. The price paid
is 50, 800. The nations of the old world SO far
from permitting document of this character to
be purchased by private citizen, would never
have permitted it to be exposed to public sale
But let the action of ether nations be what il
may, it certainly reflects but little credit upon the
patriotism Of the American people, tosay that a
legacy bequeathed TO them by the founder OF the
nation, is valued by private individual more than
by the mass of the country.
