70 the Editor Of the Daily Advertiser:


SIR-In several Of the public journals,
remarks have been made respecting the
agency of Mr.. Madison in preparing Wash
ington's FdrertH Address; which have a
tendency to- produce an erroneous impress
sion. It has been said that this address
was originally drawn up by Mr. Madison,
and that his draft with very slight altera-
ITEMS was ultimately published


AS the papers relating to this subject will
be contained in one Of the volumes of wash
ington's Writings there seems no impro-
priety in anticipating their appearance in
that publication, so far, at least, as to cor
rect the mistake implied in the above state
ment. For that purpose, General Wash
ington's letter, and Mr. Madison's draft, are
herewith communicated.


II will be perceived, that the letter was
written towards the close of tho first presi-
dental term. before Washington had made
up his mind to be candidate for another
election; and also, that he had held pre-
vious conversation with Mr.. Madison en-
the subject.
