Interesting Letter.

the writer, who we believe, is son of the
great Alex. Hamilton, states that his distin-
guished father was the author of Washing
tons Farewell Address, and of most of
Washingtons other important State papers.
We are afraid that the announcement of this
fact will, notwithstanding the deep regard
estertained for the mighty intellect of Ham
ilton, impair the influence of the Fairwell
Address upon the public mind at a time
when its influences much needed.-Lou.

LETTER OF COL. A. HAMILTON TO NJ. KossUTn.
New YoRK, Dec. Is, 1851,
1913 Twelfth street.
To his ETcellency, Cor Ko8s,dh:
SIR: In accordance with my promise, l
now take the liberty to recommend for your
porusal, the works of Hamilton, inasmuch
as they will present to your grasping mind
the best evidence of the master influence,
which has, thus far, guided the destinics of
the United States in their career to distinc-
ton.
In the 9th volume of the works, you will
find the history of the proclamation Of neu-
trdlity, and learn that the name of Jefferson.
attached to that document was only so done
as an authenticating mark of official for
mality, and referring to the notorious fact
that the measure and its policy did encoun-
ter the abuse and misrepresentation of the
confidential partizans of Jefferson, the rea-
sonable inference is, that he did not wiSh the
publication, because inconsistent with his
party views.
The proclamation was written by Hemil-
ton at the seat Of Government, while Wash
ington was at Mount Vernon, and Jefferson
at Monticello; when issued, Hamilton was
forced into the field of controversy, and in
a series of articles, signed Pacifcus, most
triumphantly bore down every opposition,
and thus the policy of a neutral course was
adopted as the principle of action of the
country, in order to avaid entangling connec-
tions.
As the time has come when certain de-
must be made public, l do not
hesitate to inform you that the Farewell Ad-
dress, as we'll as most of Washington's i'm
portant papers, had the some parentage
with the proclamation of neutrality-and,
for the accuracy of this statement, you are
referred to the Hamilton Works, which con-
tain the confidential correspondence of Ham
ilton with all the distinguished statesmen of
the period, and especially with Washington;
when examined in connection with the cab
met conferences and other official commu-
you cannot fail to perceive that
there existed the one principle and the one
idea through the whole range of Hamilton
political course, the establishment of great
republican empire, on the immutable princi-
pies of honor and honesty.
In the sixth volume, you will also find,
during the administration of Adams, letter
from Pickering, then Seerctaty of State,
asking the opinion Of Hamilton whether it
would not be advisable to form a treaty with
Great Britain to secure the cooperation of
that power TO repel the apprehended attack
Of France, and the answer of Hamilton,
adverse TO the alliance, while he deemed it
not impolitic TO be prepared to make call
for aid, seould the progress Of French ag-
gression render it necessary.
In the recoIds Of European history, we
have the most undeniable evidence that the
progress and powerful efforts of Hungary
successfully resisted the ottoman incursions,
raising the siege of Belgrade, and driving
back the Turkish forces in disgrace from
Europe; and thus preserving from exter-
every principle of civilization and
Christianity.
In conclusion, permit me TO remark, al
though it may not be in correspondence with
your expectations, that, Notwithstanding the
senslbility your cause creates and the admi-
ration entertained for your patriotism and
talents, there does not exist, in my estima-
ton, the slightest probability that you will
now receive any efficient assistance Or CO.
operation from the United States; at the
same time, entertain no doubt that any
reliable revolutionary movement in favor of
the extension of the rights of humanity,
would be welcomed in America, with prac-
teal demonstrations in the true spirit of
democratic liberality and extravaganza.
/ have, now, the honor to remain, with
the highest respect, your obedient servant.
A. HAMILTON.
