PREDICTION VERIFIED.

At the close of the first 5-20 loan, I vonturea to predict
that no other 6 per cent. gold loan would be offered at par
by the Government. Up to this hour the prediction has
been verified, and I am equally confident that no such
breach of faith as would be involved by the payment of
the 5-20 loan in greenbacks will ever occur.

' BAD ADVISERS.

I regard the agitation, originally, of this proposition as
the work of those who opposed the war and all measures
for the preservation of the national credit and existence.
On the approach of a Presidential election, they have, for
want of better and more patriotic capital, availed them-
selves of the temporary embarrassments of portions of the
country to stir up an ignorant opposition to the public
credit. Perhaps the country muss submit, through the
pending canvass, to postpone all attempts to remodel the
fisaances, but I am positive that so soon as the
Presidential election is over this question will
uo longer be postponed, but plans will be inaugurated
that will not only fully maintain the national faith and
credit, but greatly reduce the present burden of the debt.

RETRACING THEIR STEPS.

I am glad to observe unmistakable signs of uthe aban-

donment, by both political parties, of any intention to
press this greenback question, the recent political conven-
tions in various States haying avoided any explicit de-
claration of opinion on this subject. The recent Repub-
lican State Convention in Philadelphia, more particularly,
nobly reasserted the inviolability of all contracts between
the Government and bondholders, and Governor Seymour,
before the New York Democratic Convention, unmistak-
ably maintained and insisted upon the payment of the
5-20 bonds, principal and interest, in coin.

MR. COOKE'S POSITION.
I make no apology for thus, once more, intruding upon
public notice. Ido not wish my position misunderstood.
I naturally feel a great responsibility, and as my fellow'
citizens deem it right that I should not hesitate to express
my views in the matter, I have done so.

MISTAKES OF BUTLER AND PENDLETON.
Before closing I wish to correct a. mis-statement origi'
nally made by General Butler, and repeated by Mr. Pen"
dleton in his Milwaukee speech. Both gentlemen assert
that I advertised, as general agent, the 10-40 loan as the.
only loan of the Government, the principal and interest of
which were payable in coin. This is a double. error. 1
never was the special agent of the Government for the
sale of the 10-40 loan ; and the advertisement of the fir°
of Jay, Cooke, and Co. was only to this effect :—That the
10-40 loan was then the only loan of the Government t°
be had at par, the principal and interest of which were pan
able in gold. (lad I been the special agent for the sale or
the 10-40's, I
.am confident that it would have been rto.d°
so great a success that the Government would not there-
after have paid a greater interest than five per cent. on all
of its loans. I believe also that if this loan had been In''
naged properly, and by one agent, that an abur.dance 01.,
funds could have been provided at all times, and thereby
many hundreds of millions would have been saved to ti 3
Government, which were lost by reason of increased pric%s
charged by contractors and others to compensate for del4
in payment of their accounts for supplies, &c.

PAST EFFORTS TO EMBARRASS THE FINANCES.
I believe, further, that. the war would have been enclea
in 1864 had not the enemy been perfectly aware of the
then tottering condition of our finances; but the elaraear
against the agency system, and base and false insinuaticse
and accusations wore then mad© which induced the Sec-
rotary to try the negotiation of the 10-40 loan through Or
efforts of the Treasury alone, which, of course, resulted in
failure. The same clamour sprang up again when gfi
Sherman introduced the first funding bill. Yielding to
has cost the nation, in both instances, more treasure than
can be estimated, besides a large portion of the distrel
and trouble always consequent upon such inaction an
delay.---Most respectfully, your fellow-citizen,
JAY Cooo'
