Sir :?In several of the public journals, remarks have been made ros|>ecting the j agency of Mr. Madison in preparing Wash Washington's - ington's Washington's farewell address, which have a ten- j j dency to produce an erroneous impression, j ( It has been said that this address was origi-, nally drawn up by Mr. Madison, and that his draft, "with very slight alterations," was ultimately published. As the papers relating to this subject will he i contained in one of the volumes of "Wash- : j ington's Writings," there seems no iinpro. j ( priety in anticipating their appearance in \ that publication, so far, at least, as to cor- j j rect the mistake implied in the above state-' { ment.
