ALEXANDER MCLEoD. Tho name Of this per-
sonage once, and not very oug ago, wo,d Of
potency throughout the whole civilized world Ilo
became famous, ns it were in day, and the discus
sions OF which he the subject held only
in bar-rooms, and by the fire side, but also on ex.
change in legislative halls and the chambers of
Government Cabinets. But he had his day, and then
subsidized. Topics OF interest arose, in which other
mems names bruited, and his went into what
MIR Van Buren, would call "reracy''
Recently, however, he has brought himself before
the public again by the publication Of "narrave,"
designed to vindicate his character against various
imputations that were thrown upon it during the
time OF his great troubles, to wit; that he had boast
ed ofhs agency in the destruction of the Caroline
that he left Canada, before he arrested at Lock-
port to escape the pursuit of credors-and that he
was largely indebted, deputy sheriff, to individuals
and the Canadian Government. All these charges he
answers great length but the matter is not of suf-
lcient interest to require that we should follow
him. The 'boasting'' accusation he utterly Denies
and challenges proof of its veracy AS to the other
points, he tells moving tale of robbery and fraud,
and makes it appear that he much worse treated
by his own countrymen in Canada than even by the
A.pu,riots' and "sympathisers" in border coun-
tjes.--N Y. Com. .ddp.
