AUGUSTA MARKET.
■ COTTON.— The past has been a dull week
in our Cotton trade, although we have quite flat
tering news from abroad of the advance in our
staple; but the difficulty of forwarding Colton,
either by the river or rail road, has kept our buy
ers from entering the market freely, and as our
planters continue free sellers, our market has been
forced downward, although both sellers and buy
ers could see no reason lor it—and every day’s
business, up to Saturday, was at still lower rates.
The news of the Cambria being at hand on Mon
day. about 500 bales were sold at old prices. The
market closes very quietly, despatches both from
Charleston and Savannah reporting those mar
kets flat, and prices barely sustained.
The sales of the week reach 4834 bales at the
following rates: 15 at 9J; 19 at 9j; 105 at 9}; 61
at 9g; 312 at 9}; 54 at 9J; 659 at 10; 152 at
1-16; 741 al 10J; 14 at 10 3-16; 1342 at I0J;
10 5-16; 325 at 10|; 76 at 10 7-16; 460 at
41 bales iii iLqjnts.
Amongst the week was 77 bales ol
very choice Colton from the plantation of John
A. Calhoun, of Abbeville, which brought 11 eta
The sales up to Monday were made at about the
following prices:
Inferior to Ordinary 9 a 9}
Good Ordinary to Middling 9j a 9}
Good Middling- 9} a 10J
Middling Fair to Fair 10} a 10}
Fully Fair to Choice 10 j all
The receipts at Augusta and Hamburg con
tinue heavy, and the shipments of the week, both
by rail road and the river, have been about 8000
bales, and there is at least about that quantity
already bought, waiting a chance for shipment.
The accounts of the steamers Europa, Hi
bernia. and Cambria, which have lately been re
ceived from Liverpool, carries up fait Cottou in
Liverpool to 6}d. per lb., equal to 11 cents in
Augusta. This great advance has risen from the
great deficiency in their stock, and the very light
exports from this country of the new crop, and
the prospect of a greatly reduced crop in this
country, of tyhich fact there ean ba but little
doubt, although i.he favorable fall that the cotton
• planters have had, both for the maturing and
—■'•■'gathering of the crop, has increased the estimates
of receipts. Many believe that the total receipts
of the crop cannot exceed 2,000,000 bales, whilst
otheie, more sanguine, put down 2,300,000 bales.
They calculate that the receipts will lie at
New Orleans, 800.000 to 950,000
Mobile 350,000 to 450,000
Florida 150,000 to 180,000
Atlantic States 650,000 to 750,000
1,950,000 2,330,000
Letters received in this city put down the re
ce'ipts at New Orleans, from the best information
that can be obtained at 750,000 bales, and letters
from Mobile estimate the receipts at that port
under 400,000 bales. In this State the general
impression seems to be that the deficiency will be
about one-fifth less than last year, and this is the
most liberal calculation made for the Atlantic
States. As prices abroad and at home are based
upon the extent of the crop, we shall endeavor to
keep our readers as well informed upon the sub
ject as lays in our power.

f ters, prices of this article seem to be tending up-
' ward. The stock of Molasses is good ; and all
—“-kinds of Domestic Liquors are abundant except
New Orleans Whiskey, which is getting scarce.
BAGGING AND BALE ROPE.—Sales of
Gunny Bagging continues heavy, attd the supply
is again very light. Other descriptions of Bagging
have been dull sale during the whole season, the
preference being given for Gunny. The supply
of Bale Rope is still good, and prices remain from
10 a 11} cents.
BACON.—Sales of Bacon to some extent were
fnadt during the past week ; Sides iu hhds. readi
ly brought 7 cents on short time, and a lot of Ten
nessee Sides were sold at 7} cents.
SALT. —Bales of 7011 sacks were made from
the wharf at $1.25 per sack.' The supply at the
seaboard, by recent arrivals, is large and daily in
creasing, and on Friday we noticed an arrival at
Savannah with 5000 sacks ; aud as the boats are
through with the heavy business of the season,
largo additions muy soon be expected in our mar

STOCKS.—Operations m stocks have beeu
very limited during the past month. We oinit

FREIGHTS.—Our river has fallen to where
it was last week, and the boats canuet carry oft'
more than two-thirds of a load. Freights by the
iver and rail road one dollar per bale.
Nice Rife Cherries.—VVe were presented
on yesterday with some elegant ripe cherries ;
just taken from ■ tree in the garden of John
S. Walker, Esq. They looked as fresh and
plump as if they had not been of the necond
growth ; and the blossoms too taken from the
Mme tree were as bright as those of spring.

Cottox ox Rf.d River.—The Washington
(Ark. I Telegraph states that the whole amount
of cotton shipped from above the raft this year
will not reach 6000 bales. I-ast year over i
35,000 bales were shipped. If the crop had |
not been destroyed by the overflow, the amount
of cotton raised in the region above the raft
would have reached 40,000 bales.
Minesota Territory comprises 30,000 square

in the act of putting the present No. of the
Banner to press, we received a communication I
from Judge J. H. Lumpkin, Prest. of the State
Temperance Convention of Georgia, dated
Milledgeville, Nov. sth, revoking the invita
tion tendered to Father Mathew to visit Geor
gia.
The length of the letter from Judge L. pre
cluded the possibility of presenting it ii the

The New York Tribune calls the Augusta
Republics “pretended whig paper.” VVhy ?
Because it stands up for the south. Il says
the southern locos are in favor of slavery ex
tension, and the whigs don’t care any thing
about it.—[Columbus Times.
“ The Augusta Republic, if it has ever said
so, does not truly represent the feelings or the
action of the southern whigs. It is an able
paper, and we commend its zeal in behalf of
the south if it would use that zeal more in ac
cordance with its own ‘knowledge.’”
We copy the above from the Montgomery
(Ala.) Journal. That paper contains, in the
article from which we take this, nearly a
column of remarks founded upon it. We
trust our Alabama cotemporary had no desire
to find fault with us without a justifiable rea
son, and hence we do not doubt it will set us
right before its readers. The Journal has
misunderstood the case. The Columbus
Times does not allude to us in the last sen
tence of the extract. It alludes to the New
York Tribune. That paper said the southern
locos are in favor of slavery extension and
the whigs don’t care any thing about’it. It
was our course on the southern question
which made the Tribune say that the Republic
was a pretended whig paper, and in saying so
it stated that the southern whigs did not
about the extension of slavery. So far
m’.’king the assertion ourselves, we denied the
truth Oi r, *>e Tribune’s statement, and defended
the whigs against its injurious effect. We
replied in full to trie Tribune at the time, and
notice the above i.nw only to correct the mis
apprehension of the si.'‘djfffljery Journal.
KJ” Mr. R. W. Walker, a repiTsentativ* to
the Alabama Legislature, from Tuskegee, has
given notice that ho will early in the session,

to work in the gold mines, and the profits of
their labor to be devoted to the payment of
the public debt of Alabama.
Another Rail Road Project.—From the
proceedings of a public meeting held in Al
bany, Baker county, Ga., we are informed
that a new line of Railroad is in contempla
tion, designed to conect Savannah with Al
bany.
KJ” We learn that the Rev. Dr. Boring and
Rev. Mr. Winnn, of the Georgia Conference,
have been appointed Missionaries to California.
A writer in the Nashville Banner and Whig
proposes that an export duty of $5 per bale be
laid upon all cotton shipped from the United
States alter the year 1860. His object is to
bring the spindles and looms to the cotton
fields, instead of Bending the cotton four or five
thousand miles to the spindles and looms. To
do this, however, an amendment to the Consti
tion of the United States would be necessary ;
all export duly being prohibited.—Ex. paper.
We clipped the above, a few days ago, trom
one of our exchanges, merely to show the
opinion of the writer, and to state that in
Georgia we have now exemplified some of the
advantages resulting from a close proximity of
the plough, the loom, and the anvil. An un
parralled degree of prosperity is manifested all
around us. The busy hum of manufacturing
. industry in our cotton mills, furnaces, novelty
works, and in al! the departments of enterprise
among us, are satisfactory proofs of an upward

Ethan Campbel), of New York. It contains
entertaining biographies of Macauley, Dickens,

Mr. Chappel's Eulogy.
Our correspondent has written us a lengthy
criticism upon the Hon. A. H. Chappel’s Eulo
gy upon the late President Polk, delivered at
the Capital on Thursday last. We are com
pelled to exclude most of it for want of room.
Our correspondent thinks it was rather dull
and prolix—We copy only the following.
“Funeral orations and eulogies are difficult
to write or deliver, more so than any other
style of composition. Many things ought to be
said in a biography that would be out of place
in an eulogy. There are many more to which
a passing allusion only ought to be made. De
tail belongs not to such an occasion, albeit we

a beniflpeitt influence on society and
tend to exhibit the goodness of his heart. Jn fact
we do think it would be ip better taste to fill
an eulegy with the history of sucli facts, than
to introduce even but a single political act,
about the policy of which opinion is divided in
the audience present. Air. Chappci went at
large ipto the political history of Mr. Polk and
vY«n talked about tjie glorious results of the
Mexican Wsr, when we a re here upon the eye
of dissolution ID consequence of it, and it did
certainly seem to strange and inconsistent
move any how to stop a Legislature in its
work that before it adjourns is bound to pass
resolutions bitter as gall against the Willmot
Proviso, to pronounce an eulogy upon a
Southern man who had signed a bill with the
Wilmot Proviso in it.

PRODUCTIONS OF EMANUEL.
Messrs. Editors : I planted 43 acres of pond
land, belonging to Mary A. Johnson, lying im
mediately on Scull's Creek, Emanuel county,
of which I measured as near an average acre
as I possibly could, of which I gathered 60
bushels of Corn, which average will make a
yield of 2,580 bushels from the 43 acres.

Plank Roads.—The Savannah Republican,
of 10th inst., says: “We counted, yesterday,
the load of one of our draymen, who had a
teain of three horses, and found there were
forty sacks of salt. The load for two horses
before the plank road was built, was six ; the
team, therefore, was drawing four and a half
times the amount they could have hauled on a
sandy road, and apparently with more ease.”
KTA meeting was held at Marietta, on the
2nd inst., to take into consideration the policy
| of building a Plank Road from lhat town to
Dahlonega. A very able and satisfactory re
port was made at an adjourned meeting on the
<Hh inst., and the inftmtory steps taken to ob
tain a charter, locate the road, and realize, at
an early day, the advantages which must re
sult from the construction of the road. The
road, it is supposed, will be 64 miles long.
Memphis Plank Road.—The correspon
dent of the New Orleans Picayune, writing
from Memphis, Tenn., 30th lilt., says:
“ They are now constructing from tins city I
to Holly Springs, Miss.—distance about forty- !
five miles—a plank road, a new thing in this
country, which is done by laying thick planks I
on their edges side by side. The contract has I
been taken at 85000 per mile, and a few miles ;
of it is already completed. The people of 1
Memphis and North Mississippi are anxious to
connect themselves with the rail road, now in
course of construction from Charleston to.
Nashville, by striking the road at Chattanooga.
This was the leading object of attention at the
Memphis Convention of 1845. A part of this
contemplated rail road was graded some years
ago.”
Waysesborou&h Rail Road.—The Sa
vannah Georgian, of the 9th inst., thus notices
the action of the City Council of Savannah on
this subject: “ Our City Fathers have respond
ed to the expression of the opinion of the peo
ple assembled in August last; and authorized
the Mayor, yesterday, to subscribe for two
thousand shares, of one hundred dollars each,
in the stock of the Waynesborough Rail
Road, upon the same terms as individual sub
scribers. They also requested his Honor, the
Mayor, to attend, as the representative of our
I city, the approaching convention of subscri
| bers to that slock, and, in the event of ina
bility to attend, they authorized him to select
I a member of the Beard to attend is his place.”
Election of Judses by the People.
In the editorial correspondence of the Con
stitutionalist, of the 9th instant, we find the
following, which we extract from among oth
er matter on the same subject:
“Several bills were offered in the House, and
read the first time. The most important was
one offered by Mr. McDougald, of Muscogee,
providing for the election of Judges of the Su
perior Courts, by the people. The bill sets
forth in a preamble, that the present mode of
elections by the Legislature, is without the
authority of the Constitution of the State of
Georgia, and a usurpation of power belonging
to the people. (This position is true in tact.)
* * * This bill is evidently got up without much
consideration. But as it was not expected to
be passed, but is a mere party manoeuvre of
the whigs, it did not matter much, we suppose,
with its authors, to how many objections it was
liable. The provision that the present incum
bents shall hold on till February next, is un
constitutional, since they were elected in pur
suance of that instrument for four years, and
their commissions are for that period. The
whigs do not desire any bill at all to pass giv
ing these elections to the people. * * *
During the past summer, the issue was
again tendered the whigs, as it had been be
fore, by a portion at least of ’he democratic
press, and not a response could be obtained
from them. The whig presses, the organs of
whig public opinion, were silent—perfectly
mum, with one or two exceptions. They
would not discuss the question. They would
not take ground for or against the question. It
is due to candor to say, that almost an equal
indifference was manifested by the body ot the
democratic party. The people did not respond
in loud and decisive language to the appeal.
There had been no sufficient discussion on the
subject—no decisive expression of opinion by
1 the people in favor of the change. Under
| these circumstances, it would seem uncalled
| for, and officious in the present legislature, to
make a change from the present mode.”
Our opponents, and some whigs too,appear
to express surprise that the measure of giving i
the election of Judges to the people, should
have emanated from a whig, in the form of a
legislative Bill to that effect. That need not
excite surprise. Some months since, when
the question was agitated, to some extent, we
stated that the whigs would not oppose such a
measure, if the people were in favor of it.—
The people are sovereign, and can do as they
please. They can take the election of the I
Judges into their own hands, or leave it where
it now exists, as they see proper. This they
can do, and ask neither opposing whigs nor
democrats, any odds. We believe with Mr.
McDougald, and the Constitutionalist, that it
is an usurpation of power for the legislature
to elect the Judges. But many years, and
precedent has sanctioned the mode of electing
them, and it is for the people themselves now
to say, whether they will longer do so.
What right has the Constitutionalist to say
that the whigs are opposed to the election of
Judges by the people? Have the people yet
expressed their opinion on the subject? Do
they not consist of the whigs, and the demo
crats? Does not the Constitutionalist say,
after alluding to the indifference of the whigs
to change the mode of election, “ It is due to 1
candor to say that almost an equal indifference ,
was manifested by the body of the Democratic I
party? The people did not respond in loud
and decesive language to the appeal.”
How then can the Constitutionalist say that 1
the whigs are opposed to the change ? How .
can it say that, when it expressly declares I
“There has been no sufficient discussion en the
subject; no decisive expression of opinion by
the people in favor of the change.”
That is our opinion. So far from the change
being a favorite measure with the people, we
have seen no evidence that they desire it at all.
As, however, the question has excited a_good
d-ni
that the people wish to take
their own hands, and others that they do not,
we see no objection to a call upon them, to de
cide the matter at some future election, by en
dorsing election of Judges by the people, or
no election of Judges by the people upon their
tickets,
The people can do as they please, let s fepr
think as they may. For ourselves, we have
the utmost confidence in their virtue and in
telligence. They, their property and their
lives eyefi, at';} qt those who think
they would barter away judicial offices for
partisan seryices, without regard to qualifica
tion, have yet to inspect the secret springs of
human SStioQ, The great ipass of the peo- |
pie possess a firm and vigorous virtue, un
known to a majority of mere politicians and
greedy seekers of office. They seek the pub
lic good, not alone from public spirit, but also,
from that of private and personal interest. No
party could succeed, even with a large majori
ty in its favor, in electing, by the popular suf
frage, a member of its ranks, to the high and
sacred station of a judgeship, if incompetent,
insufficient, or corrupt.
Should it be done in a single instance, it
would prove a disgraceful calamity, from the
consequences of which, the people would ever
afterward seek relief in a more watchful and
guarded distribution of judicial honors. This
is our position. We see no particular neces
sity for the change. Our Legislators have, as ;
a general rule, given the people excellent
Judges. We would, however, be pleased to
see an expression of the popular desire upon I
this subject, at some future election; and
should the peopledesire the change, we should
but submit to their wishes, not only with res- '
pectful deference, but with the utmost confi
dence, that they would make the Bench equal
ly as respectable, competent, and incorrupt, as
it has been, and now is, under Legislative ap
pointment.

[Editorial Correspondence.]
Milledgeville, Nov. 9.
Tho imposing <■< ,m>ny of the inaugura
tion transpired at 12 M. on Wednesday. The
floor, the lobby, and the gallery of the House,
were crowded, with an audience, of which
any Georgian might have been justly proud.—
“There were gathered together from all parts
of a great, free, enlightened and prosperous
State, grace and female loveliness, wit and
learning, the representatives of every science
and of every art.” The young aud tije beau
tiful were there, the aged and the middle-aged
—the holders and the seekers of power—the
givers and the expounders of the law—the
great, the good, the pride and hope of the land.
Contrast only enhanced the interest of the
dazzling spectacle. Side by side, sat the
grave matron and the smiling belle. In the
same brilliant c 'terie, where shed the gay
and graceful plume its native lustre, drooping
weeds pointed to the grave and the past. If|
anticipation smiled on one hand, memory wept
on tho other. There stood the man of God,
the devout follower of the “meek and lowly
one,” and here the brave old soldier, covered
with scars and laurels won amid the battle’s
storm, when the “stars and stripes” were iu
trouble. “All the various kinds of interest
which belong to the near fiid to the distant, to
the present and the past, were collected on one
spot and in one hour.”
Rarely have we ever seen an audience so
well calculated to excite the fears or the emu
lation of anorator. About noon, G.W.Towns,
Governor elect of the State of Georgia, conduct
ed by tbe-£#*sidetfrm the Senate, and a joint
Committee, appointed from both houses for that
purpose, and attended by a retinue of eloquent
orators, profound jurists and great statesmen,
entered the aisle of the House, and advanced to
the speaker’s chair. It was a proud moment
for Georgia. Her gallant sons and fair daught
ers had come down from her high mountains,
and up from her sequestered vales and valleys
to witness the man first in their hearts, kiss
the Holy Evangelist, of Almighty God, and in
the dread presence of Jehovah, solemnly swear
“I will faithfully execute the office of Govern
or, of the State of Georgia, and will, to the
best of my abilities, preserve, protect, and de
fend thes»id State, and cause justice to be ex
ecuted in mercy therein, according to the Con
stitution and laws thereof.”
They were there in their strength, and such
an array of gifted minds, such a host made the
occasion a proud one for Georgia. While
the solemn ceremony of inauguration was in
progress, the mind involuntarily sped away on
the wing of fancy, to contemplate the sublime
grandeur of organized government. Here be
fore us were the real characters, and we were
witnessing the incipient preparation for our
peace and protection for two years more.—
One mau was there, in himself, the reflection
of the public will—and we were looking upon
a scene, the practical result of which, was the
guarantee of every blessing we then enjoyed.
It was a pleasing and solemn theme to con
template. As usual, His Excellency address
ed the people. Os his inaugural, it is not ne
cessary to say anything, as it is already in the
hands of every one.
While the bearing of the Governor was dig
nified, and his fancy chaste, I was disappoint
ed, to some extent; for, on this occasion, he
did not display the elocution of one of those
favored ones, “ Upon whose lips the mystic bee
hath dropped the honey of persuasion.” Jus
tice to him, however, require- me to add, that
it was said, by competent judges, who had
heard him before, that he did not do his best on
one thmg I am certain, bis
Message and his Inaugural Ijoth evince ability
enough to make him responsible for either a
careless or a feeble administration. If he com
mits any egregious blunders, he will be enti
tled to uo sympathy from the true patriot. If
his administration is a wholesome and a faith
ful one, may public gratitude attest the fact,
and splqce tho privacy of his retirement, and
the evening of his days. u.
Milledgeville, Nov. 10.
“ There was a sound of revelry by night,
And Belgium’s capital had gather’d there
Her beaqty and her chivalry, and bright
Tlie lamps shone o’er fair women and brave men,
A thousand hearts beat happily, and when
Music arose with its voluptuous swell,
Soft eyes look’d love to eyes which spake again,
And ail went merry as a marriage hell.”
The inclemency of the weather rendered it
necessary to defer the Inauguration Ball to
Thursday night—but it came off then, and a
brilliant affair it was. Muscogee and Bibb,
and Chatham and Putnam, ai’d Richmond and
Baldwin, and many other Counties in our noble
state, were well represented among the fair
who graced the occasion. The company
was so very large it because necessary to dance
double cotillions the whole evening. The
members of the legislature attended to a very
respectable number, and the governor hinqself
was there (of course,) and led two or three of
the reigning belles through the mazes of the
dance.
We did intend to have told you something
übout “flaxen tresses and raven ringlets,”
“ marble brows and alabaster neclfs,” “ fairy*
forms,” < bright eyes,” “ graceful carriages,”
“ gorgeous drapery," etc. etc. But it would
be indelicate to talk too plain, and it will be
sufficient to say we hope, that nolhing of the
kind was wanting. One idea did occur to us
and that was, that there surely must be several
young widows there from the repeated use we
heard made of that term during the evening.
About IIP. M., we took supper. The only :
allusion all necessary to satisfy every
body that it whs all it could have been, is the
simple fact that it was got up at Huson’s hotel.
Supper oyer, every one seemed to say,
‘ On with the dance, let joy be uncoufined,
No sleep till mom when youth and pleasure meet, .
To chase the glowing hours with flying feet.”
1 About that time we sloped. It was two
: o’clock in the morning, we were informed, :
when the company dispersed. p.

Consider me Smith.—By J. J. Hooper.—
There is a very good story in the papers of
the day, which is told of Dr. Maxey, of the
University of South Carolina, as I think in
correctly, The trick was in reality played
by Dr. Caldwell, formerly President of the
University of North Carolina. I recollect hear
ing it, when a child, from the Doctor’s own
lips; and I we|l rerpenilier how he "chuckled
at the recollection of tlie consternation into
which he threw the students, who bad hquled
him two or three miles in his own carriage,
without knowing it—by requesting them to
draw him back.
But whether Doctor Caldwell or Doctor
Maxey—or both—are entitled to the credit of
haying reyetsefi the saw of a parcel of mad
capcollegians, in this particular case, there is
one feat which the North Carolina President
did perform—his right to the credit is indispen
sable. The ‘victim’ would doubtless—if he
lives—‘qualify’to the fact?.
The old Doctor w*s a small man, and lean,
but as hard and as angular as pine knots.—
He looked as if he might be tough, but did
I not seem strong. Nervettheless he was
among the knowing ones, reputed to be as
agile “as a calf aud in addition, was by no
means deficient in knowledge of the noble
science of self-defence.’ Besides he was as
‘cool as a cucumber.’ Well, in the Freshman
class of a certain year—and 1 believe the story
goes that the fellow never got out of the Fresh
man, ibough the Doctor certainly did ‘put him
i through,’ in one sense of the word—was a
I burly beefy mountaineer of eighteen or nine
teen. This genius conceived a great con
! tempt for old Bolus’ physical dimensions, and
his soul was horrified that one so deficient in
muscl?, should be so potential in his rule.
Poor Jones—that’s what we’ll call him—had
no idea of moral force. At any rate he was not
inclined to‘knock under’ and be controlled by
a man that he imagined he could tie and
whip. He at length determined to give the
old gentleman a genteel private thrashing,
some night in the College Campus, pretending
to mistake him for some fellow student.
Shortly after, on a dark and rainy night
Jones met the Doctor crossing the Commons.
Walking up to him abruptly,‘hello Smith! you
rascal is this you?’ And with that he struck
the old gentleman a blow on the side of the
face, that had nearly felled him. Old Bolus
said nothing, but squared himself, and at it they
went. Jones’ youth, weight and muscle made
him an‘ugly customer,’but after a round or
two, the Doctor’s science began to tell; and in
a short time he had knocked his beefy antagon
ist down, and was astraddle of his chest, with
one hand on his throat, and the other dealing
vigorous cuffs on the side of his head.
“Ab! stop!—l beg pardon Doctor! —Doctor
Caidwell —a mistake—for heaven’s sake Doc
tor!' groaned Jones, who thought he was about
to be eaten up—‘l really thought it was Smith!’
The Doctor replied with a ‘word and a blow,’
alternately—‘lt makes no difference, for all
present purposes, consider me Smith!’ And—
it is said—that old Bolus gave Jones such a
pounding, “then and there,” as probably pre
vented his ever making another mistake as to
personal identity, at least on the College Cam
pus!—[Horn ofMirth.

Washington’s Farewell Address.— tiy
an advertisement in another column, it will be
seen that the administrators of Mr. Ciaypoole,
the eminent printer, who died recently in this
city, in his 93rd year, will dispose by public
sale of the original Manuscript of Washing
ton’s Farewell Address, a document which has
been, and must continue to be, held in the
highest estimation by the people of ihis coun
try. The manner in which this invaluable
paper came into the possession of Mr. Ciay
poole, is lully explained in the following mem
orandum of a conversation held with him iu
1825, by the late venerable William Rawle,
which memorandum is verified by a similar
statement, of nearly the same date, in the pro
per handwriting of Mr. C. himself.
We had the pleasure yesterday of examin
ing the “small quarto book” which inspired
Mr. Rawle with such “ reverence and de
light”—feelings which, we are sure, must be
shared by all who enjoy similar opportunities.
No one who has ever seen General Washing
ton’s manuscript can fail instantly to recognize
in this all his peculiarities; and the circum
stances referred to by Mr. Rawle—the era
sures, and interlineations and transpositions—
to those accustomed to composition, admit of
no doubt that it was the sole and unaided pro
duction of the illustrious man whose signa
ture it bears. Even the date, which Mr. Rawle
thought might possibly be in a different hand
writing, is, to our judgment, clearly the same
as that of the whole body of the Address.
This manuscript is in excellent preserva
tion, and when it comes to be sold, as it has to
be, in the settlement of Mr. Claypoole’s estate,
we hope it will fall into the hands of the gen
eral government, or some public institution by
whom it will be suitably cherished.
“December 16,1825 —Conversation with
David C. Clayfoole.—Having been inform
ed that Mr. Ciaypoole was in possession of the
original MS. of the valedictory address of
President Washington, I had written to him to
inquire whether he was willing to deposite it
with the Historical Society. In a polite let
ter, dated Dec. sth, he declined parting with
it. I wrote another letter, expressing a wish
to hear from himself an account of the con
versation he held with the President in respect
to the printing the address, —and he this day
called on me, and related that the President
having sent his private secretary to him desir
ing to see him, he called at the appointed lime,
and found the President alone.
The latter then informed him that he wish
ed him to print, in his daily paper, an address
from himself to the people of the United
States. Mr. Ciaypoole answered that he felt
himself highly favored by the selection for
that purpose, as he considered it as a mark
that he approved of the mode of his conducting
the paper. The President bowed, as assent
ing to it, and asked how soon it could be done.
Mr. Ciaypoole replied that it should be done at
any time he would fix. He requested it might
be as soon as possible, and expressed a wish
to have the proofs sent to him.
The next morning the manuscript was sent
down by the same person who brought the
message, and It was immediately put to press
—both the proofs and the revises were sent to
him, and the publication appeared on the 19th
September, 1796, about lour days after the
first interview.
After this Mr. Ciaypoole called on him with
the manuscript to return it, but at the same
time he told the President, in the most respect
ful manner, that he should consider it as an
inestimable favor if he would allow him to
keep it. The President answered, if it would
be any satisfaction to him, he was welcome to
it—and they then parted—Mr. Ciaypoole re
taining this valuable autographical paper, and
the possession of which he has never parted
with.
After relating t* me these facts, Mr. Clay
poole produced to me the original, and I saw
with reverence and delight a small quarto
book, containing about thirty pages, all in the
hand-writing of the great man. It bears
throughout the marks of original composition;
there are many erasures and interlineations—
a transposition of paragraphs, and other indi
cations of its coming immediately from the
hands of an unassisted individual. I counted
the number of lines in the whole work, which
answered to 1086, and of lines erased there
were 174.
Being perfectly acquainted with the hand
writing of President Washington, I am satis
fied that every word in the text, whether writ
ten in regular course or interlined, is his, and
his alone, The date, September 19, 1796,
was the only part on whicn I had a doubt, and
of that I can only say, that being well acquaint
ed with the hand-writing of Alexander Hamil
ton, Ido not believe it was written by him. It
may have been written by the private secreta
ry. Mi- Ciaypoole, however, believes it to
have been in the hand-writing of the Presi
dent himself.
