JUDGE MCLEAN AND THE WAR.

The following letter has been furnished
10 the Cincinnati Gazette, by the gentle
man 10 whom il was addressed, foI publ
cation. The high official position Of Judge
McLean, ns well as his pure character,
and the Uniform moderation OF his political
course, imparts interest aud will give
weight 10 his opinions:
WAsnIxcroS, Jan. !, ls4s.

should put an end 10 The war on just and
honorable principles.
Alter agreeing upon tie terms on which
treaty should he made, they should call
upon the Executive by resolution 10 oiier

ring the negotiation hos,lines should be
suspended. If the President shall refuse
D to do this, 10 the military appropriation
hills, the army should be required 10 take
such positions as shall carry out The views

could not veto, aud he would be bound BY
their requirements. This may be done b,
the House.
Ihope Congress viii refuse TO issue on,
