Neutrality.” The authorship of the Proclamation of Neutrality is of but little importance : the initiation and administration of the _ashore one bright morning, to do some . all en dishable. . business with the house to which I was . and the mother entreated ; but the] . consigned, and as I passed along the \ er only presented a pistol, and the M . Street, it occurred to me that I might . declared her intention to stick by h policy, of which it was but a symbol, are . as well have a beard of a week’s growth . The father then proposed to let th ‘. possession of these papers. unquestionably Washington's. The proclamation was sustained by Hamilton in a series of papers, under the signature of ‘Pacificus,” which were answered by Mr. Madison, under that of “Helvidius,” and the controversy stands unsurpassed in the political literature of the day, for the dignity of manner and power of logic, and beauty of style displayed on both sides. It was among the first signs of that division among the public men of Washington's time, which led to the formation uf the two great parties that contended for mastery in 1800. The authorship of the Farewell Address is another sort of question. Proelamations and Messages were official acts, but the Farewell Address was a @ personal matter, and was in itself so essentially individual that the strongest direct proof would be required te estaolish the fact that it was not in any material part the work of Washington himself. Itis not now for the first time pretended that Gen. Hamilton wrote it, but no other evidence was ever produced than the presumption arising from the reputed fact that a copy supposed to be the original, with interlineations, &c., was found among the papers of Gen. Hamilton after his death. This would be very far from conciusive, if there were not positive testimony extant as to the manner by which that copy got into existence. It was very fair material for setting up an investigation, but the Hamilton family made it the basis of a positive assertion of the right of their ancestor more than forty years ago. As long ago as 1810 Judge Peters, of Philadelphia, anxious to collect centemporaneous evidence, addressed a letter on the subject to the late John Jay, who wis Chief Justice of the Supreme Court . of the United States in Washington's Administration, and, in passing, be it said, one of the ablest and purest men whieh this country ever produced. Mr. Jay replied at length in opposition to the whole Hamilton claim ; on presumptive grounds, vindicnting in the most emphatic terms the memory of Washington from the implied charge of intellectual inferiority, and pronouncing him by endowments, qualifications, and cultivation. independent of any necessity for aid in that composition, elevated as it is. After treating the subject as one of probability and inferences, he states his personal knowledge of the history of the paper, premising that he had some hesitation in communicating it, because ob. tained “under an implied confidence.” The substance of the facts he communicated is, that some time before the address appeared, General, then Col. Hamilton, called upon him to state that he had received from Gen. Washington the draft of « farewell address, which the President had prepared, and on which he desired theiropinion. They met and discussed the addross,suggesting amendments and alterations; but in order to preserve the President's draft untouch. ed, Gen. Hamilton had re-written it, including what changes he had to propose; and this copy is what they discussed. Mr. Jay says, ‘some amendments were made, but none of much importance.” Both were sent to the President, and he, . it appears, interlined the copy ngain. This accounts for the copy in Humilton’s handwriting, although not for the way in which he got it returned to him. The statement to Judge Peters was not made public for many years. In 1825, however, the time anticipated by Judge Jay arrived. The heirs of Humilton made application to Rufus King, the distinguished New York Senator, who had been the confidential friend of Gen. Hamilton, and was the depository of his private papers at the time of the duel with Burr in which he fell, for the Mr. King declined, on grounds of delicacy, and a bill in chancery was filed to compel him to surrender them. The bill de. coals of fire. 1 . . . . but I could not avoid watehing him . reaped before I presented myself at the counting room. I stepped into a barber’s shop and told the barber to . proceed. He was a bright mulatto, a good 'looking young fellow, not more than two and twenty years, it appeared.— Ilis eyes were large, black and lustrous, unusually lustrous I thought.— His manner at first was quiet and respectful. I thought he was a long time lathering my face, and I told him he . sale price. Laughing, he replied that mine was along beard, and that he knew what he was about. “Are you the boss here, m I asked. “Yes,” he answered; “my master set me up, and I pay him twenty dollars a month for my tise.” “That is good interest on the capital invested,” I remarked “can you . pay your rent and live on the balance of your savings?” “Oh yes; and lay up something be‘sides. Sometimes I receive thirty . bits a day.” “Then I suppose you will buy your . freedom some of these days.” “As for that,” he replied, “I care j but little. I have all the liberty I . want, and enjoy myself as I go along.” “But should you marry and have children, you would not wish to leave them slaves ?” “Yes I would, because they would be better off than if they were free.” y man?” brush, and commenced running the . razor over the strap, looking at the . blade every time he drew it across the . leather.

Street, it occurred to me that I might . declared her intention to stick by h policy, of which it was but a symbol, are . as well have a beard of a week’s growth . The father then proposed to let th ‘. possession of these papers. unquestionably Washington's. The proclamation was sustained by Hamilton in a series of papers, under the signature of ‘Pacificus,” which were answered by Mr. Madison, under that of “Helvidius,” and the controversy stands unsurpassed in the political literature of the day, for the dignity of manner and power of logic, and beauty of style displayed on both sides. It was among the first signs of that division among the public men of Washington's time, which led to the formation uf the two great parties that contended for mastery in 1800. The authorship of the Farewell Address is another sort of question. Proelamations and Messages were official acts, but the Farewell Address was a @ personal matter, and was in itself so essentially individual that the strongest direct proof would be required te estaolish the fact that it was not in any material part the work of Washington himself. Itis not now for the first time pretended that Gen. Hamilton wrote it, but no other evidence was ever produced than the presumption arising from the reputed fact that a copy supposed to be the original, with interlineations, &c., was found among the papers of Gen. Hamilton after his death. This would be very far from conciusive, if there were not positive testimony extant as to the manner by which that copy got into existence. It was very fair material for setting up an investigation, but the Hamilton family made it the basis of a positive assertion of the right of their ancestor more than forty years ago. As long ago as 1810 Judge Peters, of Philadelphia, anxious to collect centemporaneous evidence, addressed a letter on the subject to the late John Jay, who wis Chief Justice of the Supreme Court . of the United States in Washington's Administration, and, in passing, be it said, one of the ablest and purest men whieh this country ever produced. Mr. Jay replied at length in opposition to the whole Hamilton claim ; on presumptive grounds, vindicnting in the most emphatic terms the memory of Washington from the implied charge of intellectual inferiority, and pronouncing him by endowments, qualifications, and cultivation. independent of any necessity for aid in that composition, elevated as it is. After treating the subject as one of probability and inferences, he states his personal knowledge of the history of the paper, premising that he had some hesitation in communicating it, because ob. tained “under an implied confidence.” The substance of the facts he communicated is, that some time before the address appeared, General, then Col. Hamilton, called upon him to state that he had received from Gen. Washington the draft of « farewell address, which the President had prepared, and on which he desired theiropinion. They met and discussed the addross,suggesting amendments and alterations; but in order to preserve the President's draft untouch. ed, Gen. Hamilton had re-written it, including what changes he had to propose; and this copy is what they discussed. Mr. Jay says, ‘some amendments were made, but none of much importance.” Both were sent to the President, and he, . it appears, interlined the copy ngain. This accounts for the copy in Humilton’s handwriting, although not for the way in which he got it returned to him. The statement to Judge Peters was not made public for many years. In 1825, however, the time anticipated by Judge Jay arrived. The heirs of Humilton made application to Rufus King, the distinguished New York Senator, who had been the confidential friend of Gen. Hamilton, and was the depository of his private papers at the time of the duel with Burr in which he fell, for the Mr. King declined, on grounds of delicacy, and a bill in chancery was filed to compel him to surrender them. The bill de. coals of fire. 1 . . . . but I could not avoid watehing him . reaped before I presented myself at the counting room. I stepped into a barber’s shop and told the barber to . proceed.

Laughing, he replied that mine was along beard, and that he knew what he was about. “Are you the boss here, m I asked. “Yes,” he answered; “my master set me up, and I pay him twenty dollars a month for my tise.” “That is good interest on the capital invested,” I remarked “can you . pay your rent and live on the balance of your savings?” “Oh yes; and lay up something be‘sides. Sometimes I receive thirty . bits a day.” “Then I suppose you will buy your . freedom some of these days.” “As for that,” he replied, “I care j but little. I have all the liberty I . want, and enjoy myself as I go along.” “But should you marry and have children, you would not wish to leave them slaves ?” “Yes I would, because they would be better off than if they were free.” y man?” brush, and commenced running the . razor over the strap, looking at the . blade every time he drew it across the . leather.
