WAsHISGToN's FAREWELL AppREss.--Th Phil
adelphia Bulletin thus disposes of the story that
the original copy of Washingtons Farewell Ad-
dress had been stolen from the State Depart
ment
The original draft was never in the possession
of government. 1t was sent by Washington at
the time it was written, to be published in the
newspaper then published in this city by Mr..
Claypoole. The latter had it "set up" without
damaging the ''copy." The manuscript was
carefully preserved by Mr.. G., and in 1849 or
80 it was offered at public sale in this city by
the heirs of Mr.. Claypoole. Congress entered
into competition for the prize, but after spirit
ed bidding it was knocked off to James Lennox,
Esq, of New York, for a SUN exceeding two
thousand dollars. Mr.. L. had some exact copies
made for his friends, but the great original still
remains in his possession. We trust tina. this
explanation will relieve the patriotic Indignation
of those who evince so much anxiety concerning
the important document.
