BITTER from Jv,ise Mclean 10 n friend NJ
Cambridge, Mass

NY DEAR SIR: Your favor of the 10th inst,
was received day or two ago, and in answer,
have to say that, under the peculiar circum-
stances in which | am placed, have deemed it
prudent TO refrain from any active effort, or the
expression Of any opinion, in regard to the pre-
sent contest for the Presidency. My views are
well known TO be in opposition 10 the extension
Of slavery. | wish Icould believe that all who
express the same opinion were sincere
The progress Of time and circumstances tend
to impress more deeply upon my mind the opin-
ion, which for years | have entertained and ex-
pressed, that our government can be preserved
only by rousng the moral energies Of the Peo-
pie, and bringing them TO bear upon the political
action Of the country. An experience Of more
than thirty years enables me to say, that no re-
form can be hoped for under the lead Of politi-
cal prize fighters Our government is not now
what it is prOfessed to be, much less is it what
| its trainers intended il should be.
| have but common lot with others in this
mighty experiment of free government, but
shall never cease TO desire, above all things
earthly, to see our public afairsconducted upon
principles Just and elevated so as to embody q
moral power which shall be irresistible. A free
government can be maintained upon no otheI
basis. With many thanks for your cOnsidera'
| ton,
am most respectfully and truly yours,
JOHN MCLEAN.

when its population amounted 10 only $4,000,
and ending in le4o, amounted to the sum Of
"a, ISL ,294 50. besides a vast amount Of private
donations, Of which we have no record We
have not the means Of showing the amount
given since IS4t, which would greatly swell
even this magnificent sum.
These donations have not been confined to
their own citizens, but have been bestowed up
on the needy and suffering wherever they were
found. In Germany and New BrunsWick-from
Maine to Alabama; and through all the West,
the munificence of her citizens has been felt,
and gratefully acknowledged. Schools have
been endowed, colleges built, rewards of merit
conferred upon eminent and scienti6c men, the
sick have had their wants administered to, re-
ligious institutions been assisted, and an amount
Of good accomplished that cannot by any means
be computed. Truly dollars and cents are good,
when they enable people thus to assist their
neighbors in distress. What think you, Mr.
Johnson, are dollars and cents really good? Ii
they have been found so beneficial in Massachu-
sets and Ohio, might they not be made of some
advantage to kentucky
With these remarks we take leave Of Mr.
Johnson. We ask you, citizens Of Kentucky
to examine these things, to consider them care
fully, and treasure them up for future use. We
ask you to be just to yourselves, just to your
aeighbors. You have the facts, and can form
correct judgment; and We doubt not, will
find no difficulty in determining who are the
demagogues and who are the men Of their coun-
try. KENTUCKY.

TREASURY DEPARTMENT, Nov. Z, Ic4o.
From the official report now before-me, set
ting forth the condition Of the Treasury, and the
amount of money required by it during the
present month of November and December en-
suing, il is evident that the means of the govern
ment will be ample to liquidate all claims against
IT up to the LIST January next, without calling
in before that date any further payments on ac-
count Of the loan Of 1913; and desiring to save
the government the expense Of all unnecessary
interest, notice is hereby given to all the sue
cessful bidders for that loan, by whom any bal
ance is still due, that they are permitted post
pone any farther payment until the first Of jan
uary next. All bidders, DESTROYS Of awaiting
themselves of the benefit Of this notice, will
please advise the Department on or before the
18th Of December next.

IosErH Won JEILAcHIcH, Ban or CHoArIA.-
ne following sketch of this remarkable man,
now the champion Of Absolutisun in the Austri-
an empire, will be read with interest at the pre-
sent period. IL 10 extracted from letter dated
tne zuth OF September last, before il was known
mat tne ban was the tool Of the Emperor, and
published In the London Chronicle
81 have had occasion often to converse with
Jelachich- He is a man of the middle height.
Of powerful and firmly knit frame, forty nine
years OF age, in his youth Of delicate consti-
tuuon, but now enjoying excellent health. His
mead 10 bald at the top, but encircled with a
fringe OF Jet black hair; he has nigh forehead;
bushy eyebrows, a mild, clear, dark eve, an
aquiline nose, finely chisselled mouth, with IN
expression Of great decision of character. He
leaves the impression upon the observer Of a
man Of mild but determined character, fully
confident Of his own powers. He has not one
particle OF pride about him, and one would
scarcely look upon him as the leader of a wild
race, or a man Of high ambition. His voice 10
soft; his education is entirely German; he speaks
German as If it were his native tongue, and
with the Austrian accent; he is a great admirer
Of the German language and literature, but his
Sclavonic nationality scorns the German AFRO
gance which disdains anything Sclave; he speaks
the Hungarian, Croatian, and Italian languages
equally well; he Is unmarried, Goes not possess,
and does not care for riches, but is devoted to
his nation. II was only last year that he was
colonel of GRANGER or frontier regiment, which
was annihilated in an expedition on the Turk
ish frontier; he himself escaping almost miracu-
lously In shower of balls. The secret of his
influence over the Croats, is, that he is Croat,
and proud to be one, and all his energies are
turned toward one object-to procure for his ma
ton that position in Hungary which they claim.

one day, "and / am proud that can speak :"
Their Ban and their general, he converses with
his Croats, and tells them things they had never
dreamt of---isiOns Of honor ssd glory. II is
no wonder that when he appears. every eve is
turned upon him-that they listen, open-mouih-
ed, to what he says, and that they are ready to
follow him to Buda, Pesth, Vienna, or Milan
When they see him they shout their enthu-
sisstic "ZiviO," (let him live , and will follow
him anywhere"

Tho Royal Family of France, from all accounts
feel some of the pinching effects of poverty
Since the oath of February, the entire revenue
from the family domain, has been only l,70O,-
900 francs. The debts amount to 7O,OOO,OOO,
and If the effects which are estimated not to
exceed 1000, 900 in value, were sold, the pro-
ceeds would scarcely be sufficient to pay the
creditors. Such is the actual situation Of that
colossal fortune, which the ex-King was said to
have amassed. The poverty of the ex-roya
family is made more painful, it is said, by in
culgence in perpetual recriminations, which
have brought about total rupture between tn
King and his former Minister, M. Guizot.
