GEORGE WASHINGTON.

HE Fare we'll Adtlress to HE Country
men Had an Interesting History.
George Washington's farewell address
to his countrymen. which ranks among
the three or four greatest OF American
state papers. has an interesting history.
After the death Of Hamilton two copies
OF the address in HainiltOn's handwriting
were found among his papers. T1iis At
once gave rise to the surmise that Ham,
ilton was the author of it. and great
controversy arose. 1t was known, OF
course, that when Hamilton was in the
cabinet he prepared and wrote out many
of Washington's communications and
speeches to Congress. but after his retire
ment it was not supposed that he did
more than occasionally advise with the
President on certain public questions.
John Jay took part in the controversy
and undertook to prove that Hamilton
was not the author of the address, stat
ing that the original address had been
written by Washington and then submit
ted to himself and Hamilton for sug-
gestions aud amendments. For a num-
her Of years the authorship was left in
doubt. but the facts. M time has devel-
oped them. seem to he these: Al the close

ed a letter to Madison tating that he
intended to retire from public life: that
he wished to make a farewell declaration
to the country. and asked Madison to pre-
pare for him an address or n letter of
that description. Madison prepared the
paper. consulting Jefferson about it. but
they. with others. finally prevailed upon
W ashington to accept another term, SO
the Madison paper was not used. AT
the close OF his second term Washing
ton retired. and preparatory to that sent
the Madison paper. with additional mat

request that the latter redress it.
These formed the main theme aud idea
