[From the Boston Courier,]
unpublished letter of washing-
An eminent friend has furnished ns with the ori
ginal letter of Washington which Is printed be
low. Wo do not find it in Mr. Sparks’s volumes,
and we have reason to believe it never-has been
published before. It la derived from the Madison
manuscripts, and is one of a collection purchased
of Mr Todd, a nephew of Mr. Madison, by Mr. J.
C; McQuire, of the city of Washington. It 1 s sin
gular that the persons intrusted vnth.thoao manu
scripts, and that Oongress itself, did not perceive
the propriety of priming iho letters addressod to
Mr. Madison, as well as those written by mm, when
the appropriation was made for tho publication of
the Madison Papers, Tho amount, of this „ appro
priation, wo believe, was $30,000. ft is true tho
‘'Job” might not have been found quite so. profit
able at tho moment, if the writings bad been pro
■parly edited‘&hd published;, but, on the,other
hand, they would haVe possessed far more perma
nent interest, had the work comprised the letters
oC such persons as Mr. Madison was . likely to
hold correspondence with, and the remuneration
would'have proved eventually greater, by an en
hanced olroulation.
‘The accompanying letter is highly characteristic
of the great President. It is wise, far-seeing,
patriotic, self-respecting, unselfish, ingenuous, and
.modest The* sentimonts it develops in regard to
public affairs and public opinion and feeling, are as
appropriate to otir.own times, and aro as essential
to be dwelt upon and enforced now, os they were in
1792. ,We print the letter With tho more readlnoss,
because for Its unflinching devotion to tho same
anthseotional principles the Courier often finds
itself subject to the animadversions of some of its
ootemporariqs; but we are willing enough to be
judged, by a standard of dootrine andyosponsibiUty
approved by Washington. The letter aids ns in
the, formation of Oho important and interesting
conclusion—that, although Hamilton, as is gene
rally supposed, may havo. drafted the Farewell
.Address, and given to it its clear, elegant, and
affecting style, yot the prominent'ideas of that
grandest legacy ever made to a free people by its
ruler, upon withdrawing from the cares of State,
had been previously expressed by Washington
himself/os they were conoeivcd in his own noble
and sagacious mind.
r ,/It is barely possible, although wo aro not aware
of it if It bo so, that this letter moy havo found its
way into some publio print horotofore. But, at- all
events, the publication of a document so profoundly
interesting is .timely nowand always, and its sen
timents, evincing such deep reflection upon public
affaire and saoh anxious care for the welfare of tho
country, can bo never too much' pondered by tho
American people;
Mount Yebvon, May 20th, 1702.
MrDiUßSre;'" ' ' '
As there is a possibility, if not & probability, that I
shall not see you on your 'return home—cr, If 1 should
see you that it may be on the road,' and. under clrcutn
fet&nefes which will prevent my speaking to you on the
suibjtjct we last conversed upon—l take tho liberty of
committing to paper the following thoughts and re
quests. ’
. I havenot been unmindful of the sentiments expressed
by yon in the conversation just alluded to; on tho con
trary,!' have again and again revolved them, with
thoughtful anxiety? but without being able to dispose
my mind to longer continuation in the office I have now
tho honor to hold. I, therefore, still look forward to
ths Fulfllmenfc of my fondest ana most ardent Wish to
spend the remainder of my days {which I do not expect
to be many) in’oaso and tranquillity.
NoUilngshort of conviction that my dereliction of the
chair of government *if It should he the dealt* of th«
people to keep me in It) would Involve the oocstry in
serious disputes respecting 'the Chief Magistrate, and
the dlsagreeableconsequenccs which might resnittnere
from la the floating amt divided opinions which seem to
prevail at present, could, In any wise, induce me to re.
linqulsh tho determination X havo formed : and of this
I do not see how any evidence can bo obtained previous
to the election. My vanity, lam sure, is not of that
cast as to allow me to view the subject in this light.
’ Under these impressions, permit me to reiterate tho
request I mode to you at our last meeting—namely, to
‘think of the proppr -time,-and the best mode of an*
tin anting the Intention, and that you would prepare the
latter. In revolving this subject myself, my judgment
lias always been embarrassed. On the one hand, a pre
vious declaration to not-only carries with It tho
appearance of Vanity and self-importance, but it may be
construed into a manoeuvre to be Invited to remain. And
on the other hand, to say nothiug, Implys consent; or,
atany rate, would leave the matter In doubt? and to de
cline afterwards might be deemed as bad, and untendld.
■I would fain carry ray request to you farther than Is
asked above, although lam sensible that your compli
ance with it must add to your trouble; but as tho recess
may afford yon leisure, and I flatter myself yon havo
dispositions to oblige me, I will, without apology, de
sire (if the inehsure initself should strike you as proper,
and likely to produce nnbliegood or private honor) that
you would turn your thoughts to a valedictory address
from me to the public, expressing in plain and modest
terms, that having been honored with the Presidential
chair, and to tho best of my abilities contributed to the
organization and administration of the Government—
that having arrived at a period of life when the private
walks of it, in the shado of retirement, becomes neces
sary and wUI be most pleasing to me: and the spirit of
the Government may render a rotation do the elective
officers of it more congenial with their Ideas of liberty
and safety; that’ I take my leave of them as a publio
manj-and. in bidding them adieu (retaining no other
concern than such as will arise from fervent wishes for
the prosperity of my country), I take the liberty at my
departure from civil, as I formerly did at my military
cut, to invoke a continuation of the blessings of Provi
dence upon it, and .upon-ail those who are the sap
porters of its interests, and the promoters of harmony,
order, and good government.
< That to Impress those things it might, among other
■ things, he observed, that we are off the children of the
same country—.» country groat and rich in itself—capa
ble, and promising to be as prosperous and happy as any
the annals of history hos ever brought to our view. That
que Interest.-however diversified In local and smaller
matters, is the same in all the great and essential con
cerns of the nation. That the extent of our country,
the diversity of our climate and soil, and the various
productions' bf, the "States,' consequent of both, are
-such as to make one part not only convenient, but per
haps iudispousably necessary to the other part, and may
render tho whole (at no distant period) one of tho rnoßt
independent in the world. That the established Gov
ernment being the work of our own hands, with the
seeds of amendment engrafted in the Constitution, may,'
by wisdom, good dispositions, and mutual alliances,
aided by experience, bring it as near to perfection as any ;
human institution ever approximated; and, therefore,
the only strife among us ought to be, who should be
foremost In facilitating and finally accomplishing such
great and desirable objects, by giving every possible
support and cement to the Union. That, however ne
cessary it may be to keep a watchful eye over our public
servants and public measures, yet there ought to be
limits to ft: for suspicions unfounded, and jealousies too
lively ere irritating to honest feelings, and oftentimes
are productive of more evil than good.
To enumerate the various subjects which might be in
troduced into such an Address would require thought
and to mention thorn to you would. be unnecessary, as
your own judgment will comprehend alt that Will bo
proper; whether to touch, specifically, any of the excep
tionable parts of the Constitution may be doubted. All
I shall add, therefore, at present; is, to beg the favor of
you to consider—lst, ihe propriety of such an address—
2d, if approved', the several matters which ought to be
contained in it—and 3d, the time it should appear; that
is, whether at tho declaration of my intention to with
draw from the service of the public, or to let It be tho
closlhg’act of my administration, which will end with
the next session of Oongress (the probability being that
that body will continue sitting until March,) when tho
House or Representatives will also dissolve.
’ Though I do, not wish to hurry you (tho caao not
pressing) in the execution of either of tho publications
before mentioned, yet I should be glad to hear from you
generally .on both—and to receive them in time, if you
should not come'to Philadelphia until' the session'com
mences, in tho' form 4 they are finally to take, I beg
leqvqto drew your attention also to such things as you
shall conceive fit subjects for communication on that
Occasion, , and noting them as they occur, that you
would be so good as to furnish me with them in time to
be prepared, and engrafted with others for, tho opening
of the session. '
With very sincere ami affectionate regard, I lira, ever

* James Madison, Junr. Esq.
Important' to Manufacturing Corporations—
, Defaulters*
(from the Boston Jonnwl.) *
A case of wmeiderable Importance has been re
cently decided jn’the Supreme Court in Middlesex
county, between Chelmsford Company (nlalniifl)
and one DemereEt. Tho action vrus brought against
Pcmerest as surety on the bond given plaintiffs by
their former treasurer, the plaintiffs being a manu
facturing corporation. The treasurer was olected
in 1845, for one year, and upon bis election gave
the bond in suit, which .was in the usual form, con
ditioned that' the treasurer should faithfully por
form the duties of his office, and, on ceasing to hold
the office, pay over all moneys, and deliver all
books and papers belonging to plaintiff*. Ho was
re-oloctod each subsequent year, until 1852, but
gave no now bond, the company supposing, with
the treasurer .and -the thou solicitor of the com
pauy, that tho bond would continuo in force and ap
ply to all succeeding reflections, and did not re
quire d renewal ouun year- In 1852 the treasurer
suddenly left the company and State, and, on ar
riving in another State, sent a loiter to the presi
dent, confessing (what hod not boon before even
suspected by tho other officers) that ho was a de
faulter to a largo amount, having, during the time
While he hod held the office from year to year, taken
and used the funds of the company for his own
private use, and, meantime, so kept the books as
to deceive and escape detection. Most or all of
the defalcations (claimed in all to be over $12,000)
occurred during the official years subsequent to the
first, and tbo defondant contended at the trial that
he was not liable for day default of tbo trooaurer
happening after the first yoar; that as the office of
treasurer was madb an annualoffico by statute,the
bond appliod only to the first year, and the com
pany should have procured a new bond at each re
election. The plaintiff’s counsel contended other
wise;. that as the statute provided that tho
treasurer should bo elected annually, and should
hold his office until another wad elected mid quoit
fifd ia hU place, and the giving of the bond was
the only qualification prescribed, and no new bond
was over zivon, tho office was made a continuing
office, ana defendant was liable for all tbo defaults
ofeochyoar. .
The presiding Judge (Dewey) being of opinion
thatthe.bond was good only for the first year, as
claimed by defendant’s counsel, took the case from
the jnry and reported It to the whole court, before
whom the ease was argued In 1855, and who kt the
last toym decided in favor of the defendant.
Thiß decision will invalidate the bonds of tho
officers of a large number ed corporations and mu
nicipalities; for It has not been usual, weboleve,
to renew tho bonds upon a re-election of the
officers by whom they were given.
At an excursion, the members tvere' ferried
from the steamer to the shore in boat loads. A
popular clergymen, notod for hta ohesity, bad got
into one of tho boats, and a reverend brother

ia now prepared to cell about 1,000,000 acres of oboice
Farming land*, ia tracts of 40 aero a and upwards, on
ong credits, aud at tow rates of interest.
Theso lands were granted by tho Government to aid
In tho construction of thte Road, and ore among the
richest and most fertile in the world. They extend
from North-East and North-W OBt. through the middle
of the State, to the extreme South, and include every
variety of climato and productions found between those
parallels of latitude. The Northern portion is chiefly
prairie, interspersed with fine groves, and In the middle
and Southern section* timber predominates, alternating
with beautiful pralrtes and openings.
The climate fs more healthy, mild and equable, than
any other part or this country—the air ia pure and bra
cing, while living streams and springs of excellent
water abound.
Bituminous Coat is extensively mined, and supplies a
cheap and desirable fuel, beiug furnished at many
points at $2 to $4 per toh—and wood can be had at the
same rate per cord.
Building Stone of excellent quality also abound?,
which can be procured fbr little more than the expense
of transportation. >
The great fertility of these lands, which aroablaoS
rich mould, from two to tiro Teet deep, and gently rdll
tog! thClr contiguity to this road, by which every fad
llty Is furnished for travel and transportation to the
principal markets North, South, East, West, and tho
economy with which they can be cultivated, render
them the most valuable investment that can be found,
and present the moat fOforablo opportunity for persons
of Industrious habits and small means to acquire a com-
CortabU independence to a few yearn.
Chicago is now tho greatest gram market in the world}
and the facility and economy with which the products
of these lands can be transported to that market, make
them much more profitable, at tho prices naked, than
those more remote at government rates, as the addi
tonal cost of transportation la a perpetual tax on the
latter, which mart be borne by the producer, in tho re
dttced price he receives for his grain, Ac.
The title ia perfect—and when the final payments are
made, deeds are executed by the trustees appointed by
the State, and to whom the title Is vested, to the pur
chasers, which convey to them absolute titles In fee sim
