MR LOWRIB.
We publish to dsy Senator Lowrie’s statement
in answer to Mr, Geo Hay, relative to the letter
said to have been wrften to Mr Monroe, by Gen
Jackson. It is a "plain unvarnished tale,” and
must carry conviction to the bosom of every one
who is not blinded by parti )ity or prejudice. Mr
Roberts*declaration conclusively proves the Cxi-
fence of the letter in question, and fully corrobo
rates all that Mr.L. bas advanced touching itt con
tent*. The matter, as ft now stands, is between
the President and Mr Rreemer— one or the (other

FROM WASHINGTON.
“The Tariff is in Senate. The doty on iron and
hemp has been redoced, and that on eotton bag
ging left at 4J eta. per tquare yard making the
old duty more than double; (the old duty was 3
eta. the running yatd.) General Jackson would
have voted for the bill as it etme from the House.
When the duty on iron and hemp was taken off
(be voting against the the motion) he then dectar*
. ed that be would oppose the bill, and voted to
reduce cotton bagging. In the whole it is evident
be is striving to adopt Li* conduct to nlease all par
ties, Pennsylvania was most clamorous for iron—
be was for protecting that. The west was most
clamorous for hemp—he voted for protecting
that; thus conciliating two great interests. To
please the Southrons, he voted to reduce the dntv
OP bagging,and will doubtless vote to reduoe other
articles.—Whether he will vote for or against the
hill nobody knows. If Iron is restored he will vote
for it. r
It is still doubtful whether the bill will past the
Senate.*: There are strong apprehensions that it

It ii stated from Washington, "that a motion will
be made in the House of Representatives to dis
charge the committee from the further investigw
of Mf. Edwards’ memorial, and refer it to the Pre
sident—to this point, the enemies of Mr. Craw-
fbrd have heen seeking to bring it. If the house
will permit the committee to proceed (of which
there is no doubt,) the force of truth alone, in
spite of political prejudices, will draw forth a fa
vorable report. Doubts arc entertained by many
whether Mr. Edwards will make bis appearance

"The enemies of Mr Crawford, are very imps
tient to return home, and will probably attempt
an adjournment before the A. B. plot is investiga
ted—but it iatobe hoped there is too much ho.
treaty in the National Legislature for such a mea
sure to succeed. Mr Crawford’s prospects
brighten more and more, and it is now confident-
ly believed that he will be elected ”

Mr. Monroe, it is said, affects to be vastly in
fiignant at the conduct ofN. Edwards; but bow-
tail) he excuse himself for. having appointed such
* man to a foreign embassy.

Ih the Senate on the 4th inst the TarifFBill was
ggain taken up for consideration, Mr. King, of
Alabama, in the chair. The question was upon
the motion of air. Elliott to strike out the minimum
ijpon which the duty on cotton cloths and cotton
twist, yarn;- or thread, are to be calculated; which
motion was advocated by Messrs. Taylor of Va
Bayne, Macon and Lloyd, of Mm. and opposed
tiy Messrs. Ruggles cmd Dickerson. Mr. D<Wolf,
fose to speak on tho’qaestion.but gave way to a
Blotion to adjourn.—In the House of Represen
ta lives Mr. Webster offered the followingresolre
flon:

[Communicated for the Republican.]
I believe it is in my power to communicate some
information to the public, respecting the oharges
exhibited by Mr. Edward! against Mr. Crawford;
which the Secretary of the Treasury, ought «6t
to condescend to communicate himself.
It will be recollected that the bank of the V.
Slates, not long after it was' put into operation,
became so much embarrased by injudicious man-
agements, failures and frauds; that its credit was
shaken to the foundation, and that its bankruptsy
was anticipated by. an extensive portion of the
community. It is yet doubted by many, whether
such anticipations would not have been verified,
had they not been averted by the talents, judici
ous management,and perseverance ofMr.Chceves.
Deposits of the United States, and withholding j
dividends from the stockholders} saved it from ru
in. Confidence in it was not entirely restored
until the latter part of 1819.
At periods prior up to this date, deposits in the
State Banks, generally, were considered more se
cure, than in the Bunk of the U. S.; and the notes
of the former were, consequently, received in
payment to a very large amount, for western
lands,and depoaites made in the western banks, in
their own bills. Mr. Crawford was obliged, to de-
pend in many instances,upon the representation of
men of high standing in the western states, for in
formation respecting the solvency of these banks,
and Mr- Edwards was amongst the number, who
leceived him. Mr. Edwtrds acknowledges that
he recommended the Edwardsville bank, as a safe
depositi but did he afterwards give Mr. Crawford
the information, which was to be expected from
a senator of tbe United States f No, he did not.—
When he found the bank embarassed and its notes
below par, be published io a newspaper, hu de
termination to decline an acceptance of its Presi.
ieney and, aehtenye, requested the receiver of
public monies, to make no more deposits in that
bank, and to write to the Secretary of the Trea-
sury upon the result. Why did not Mr, Edwards
vrite ? He says that the receiver informed him af
terward* that he had written, and that Mr. Craw
ford replied, that the deposits were to be continu
ed. Though the receiver has since died, it is not
presumable that the copies of bis letters are dead.
If these letters remained upon the receivers files,
.hey would certainly have been sought and pro.
duced by a man r f Mr Edwards’ vigilant research.
Mr. Crawford says that no such letter appears
either to have been received or answered, by an
examination of the files in the office.
Mr. Edwards dwell* upon tbe deposits made in
the Huntsville Bank. It is well known,that large
deposits from the sales of public lands were made
in that Bank, and it will not soon be forgotten,
that from that source, tbe State Bank of Georgia
was nearly ruined.
When Mr. Crawford was informed that the
Huntsville Bank, was embarrassed, he directed
the President to transfer the deposit in Georgia
btnk paper, to the U.S.BranchBank in Savannub
Much of the deposit was made in Georgia bills,
and in order to comply with the Secretary’s in
structions, the bills of the Huntsville Bank
given in exchange for the bank bills of Georgia,
and when these amounts were paid over to tbe
United States Branch Bank in Savannah, they
were pressed upon the 8tates Bank weekly, and
payments in specie demanded and received. This
measure was considered in Savannah, as unneces
sarily oppressive, and occasioned some bitter ani.
madversions upon the conduct of Mr. Crawford,
to whom the blame was attributed. The stock
holders of the Planters’ Bank, particularly, re
monstrated against the measuse, as being ungrate
ful and oppressive, because that bank had placed
its ruin at great hazard, by a loan offitur hundred
and twenty thtfutand dollark, to the United States
during the war, after the credit of the government
was nearly exhausted. For this sum, which then
remained in circulation, the bank was compelled
to take funded paper, or U. States’ Bank Stock.
The Planters’Baok preferred the latter, which in
1819, was made below par; and on account of the
embarrsasment of tbe U. S.Bank,no dividends bad
been made, from the timeMr.Oheeves took charge
of it. Therefore, for the $420,000 loaned to the
government, the Planters’ Bank was compelled
to pay specie for its bills, while it received no in
terest, nor could it dispose of tbe U, States Bank
Stock, to . elmburse itself for tbe principal, with
out great sacrifice. The Planters’ Bank was ulti
mately compelled to sell tbe stock, in order to
resist the demands for specie.payments, made by
the U, States B-mk. Had it not been for this
loan, the Planters’ Rank would have felt perfect

Gentleman i The reasons which indue
cd me to reply to the. communication un
der the signature ot P. decide rite to notice
that of Mr. Ilay. Although he intimates
that the PresldtSnt was not “apprised” ot
his communication, no intelligent man can
read it without believing that tiie statements
it contains have been made on his authori
ty; and such, doubtless, was the impression
Mr Hay .intended to moke. The scurrili
ty and intemperance of his publication, do
not require notice, ncir shall thdy provoke
me to animadversion. The situation in
which I am placed, (if other considerations
did not,) forbid that I should suffer mysell
to be drawn into personal alter cations with
those who', for the gratification of their pride,
or the advancement ofiheir interest, choose
to enlist on the side of power And patron
age.
Tbe House then went into committee of the
.tyhole on the bill reducing into one the several
acts for establishing and regulating, the Post Office
Department „ '' '
,ly independent of all the demands which could
have been made upon it for specie, for its own
bills. It has now overcome the shock, and pays
specie for its bills, when demanded,
In one of the transfers made from Huntsville,
to the U. S. Bank, of State Bank bills, $10,000
proved to be counterfeit; and it has been a sab.
ject of judicial investigation, whether the State
Bank or the Bank of the United States, is to bear
theJoss.- These counterfeit bills, it was supposed
had been received at the Huntsville Bank in ex
change for its own bills, in order to meet the in
structipns of the Secretary of the Treasury.
Thus it will be seen, that Mr. Crawford has
been charged with fraudulent neglects by Mr,
Edwards; while his vigilance on the part of the
government, upon begrounds of these very char,
ges, have subjected him to other charges in Sa
vannah, of official ingratitude and oppression,—
All Mr. Crawford requires, is;
PUT.JUSTIGIA,
Mr, Hay admits that it was not his in
tention, in his first communication, to meet
the ttiain question. “The position of the
case, (he says,) required no such move
ment.” To do so is now his prTeased ob
ject; and tbe manner it is accomplished,
merits observation. In my published let
ter to the President, I say, “You then took
froho your bundle a letter, which you stated
to be from Gen. Andrew Jackson, and read
to us a part thereof. The part read, re-
commended to you, as a measure of policy-
t < form if our administration by the ap*
pomtment of dtstinguishedindividualsfrom
both the great fioiitical /tarries of the court
try, without mentioning the names of indi
viduala.'* Mr Hay says, “the main ques
tion is, whether Gen. Jackson did, or did
not, write a letter to the President of the
United States, advising him to form his ad
ministration of two distinguished rcfiub*
lieavs, and two distinguished federalists
“Mr. Lowrie, (he adds,) avers that Gen.
Jackson did write such a letter, and that
Mr. Monroe did read such a letter to him
and Mr. Findlay. 1 deny the truth of these
assertions. I say, Gen. Jackson did not
write such a letter; I say, Mr. Monroe did
not read such a letter to Mt Lowrie atui Mr
Findlay, or to any body else.”
The difference between my letter and the
expressions attributed to me, will be per
ceived Why does Mr. Hay extract the
terms used by the newspapers, with so
much care, and precision, and substitute
them for mine? It has, indeed, been rumor-
d, that the disagreement between the eji-
pressions used in Mr Kremer’a letter, and
those of Gen. Jackson's, (though the con
tents are in substance the sameAwillbethe
ground on which the charge of falsehood is
to be sustained. Cot the high respectabili
ty of the source from which it must come
precludes the possibility of a resort to so
wretched a subterfuge. The point in con
troversy is simple, and can neither he ob
scured or avoided. It is, whether Mr
Monroe did, or did not, read to Mr. Find
lay and myself, a letter from Gen.' Jackson,
In which was recommended to him the poll
cy of forming his administration from the
two great political parties of the country :
not in what precise words the advice was
givet).
In further support of the allegation that
Mr. Monroe possesses such a letter, I now
lay before the public the declaration of Jo
nathan Roberts, Esq. late Senator from
Pennsylvania. Of Mr. Robert’s character,
it is unnecessary to speak His integrity
is unimpeached and unimpeachable His
account of the letter is distinct. It merits,
and cannot fail to receive, implicit credit.
If; in the judgment of intelligent and honor
table men, there is yet doubt resting upon
the sebject, let it be removed. Let the
public mind be-relieved. The means are
ample. Let the letter of Gen.'Jackson, or
so much thereof as relates to the subject,
be published. Ii that is objected to, let the
President give his consent to the publica'
tion of so much of his answer, as is in rc
ply to it. If that is declined, let the letter
be shewn to gentlemen of character and
impartiality, and let them say whether its
import has heen misrepresented. No va
lid objection can n >w be made to the adop
tion of some of the courses suggested- Had
this controversy arisen without the. agency
of the President, his refusal to disclose the
contents of the letter would have been im
posed upon him by his situation: but the
importance of the required disclosure, as
far as it concerns me, has arisen from a
communication which Mr Krctoer all
to have been made to him by the President,
and which has been published. Had Mr
Kremer, when he applied to Mr- Monroe
for information, with a view to publication
and impeachment, been treated as I have
been, the case would have been different.
But I respectfully cohtend that, alter the
voluntary and unreserved communication
said to have been made to Mr. Kiemer, and
aftet the contemplated use had been made
of it, my application to the President was
founded in right, and could not, as it ap
pears to me, be refused with justice. But
it is said that to have complied with my re
quest, would have been “to commit an act
of baseness, by the publication of a confi
dential letter from a friend.” If there ever
was reason for considering the letter in
question as of too confidential a character
to permit its contents to be promulgated in
a suitable manner, it was then too late to
take that ground. What are the facts that
have a bearing on this point? The letter
was read without reserve to Mr Roberts;
on two occasions, once alone, and once in
the presence ol a third person. It was read
to Gen. Lacock, then a Senator from Penn
sylvania, who, so far from considering it
^confidential, spoke of it without reserve, in ;
reference to the principles on which Mr
Monroe had formed his administration
To a late Senator from Connecticut, the
Hon. Mr Boardman, in the presence of two
members of the House oi Representatives,
now |n Congress, the President staled, in
,substance that Gen Jackson had advised
him to this course In an interview with
the Hon. Wm. A. Palmer, a Senator otihe
United Stales the President examined his
papers for a letter from Gen. , Jackson, in
which he said tbe same course was recom
mended* Not finding the letter at firsthand
Mr. Palmer bcing.unwilling tp delay, the
President observed that he tfoutd shew him
the letter av any time. That it was in pat
read to Mr. Findlay and myself, is not eve
denied by Mr. HaV; and, although he strr
nuously contends that it was not “ancA <J
letter,” he does not pretend there was any
thing confidential in the transaction. That
it was not so considered at the time by my
colleague and myself, is proved by the ac
companying letters oi two members of th
Senate. At that time surely we could not
be suspected of a disposition to injure Gen
oral Jackson politically or otherwise. As
late as the present winter Mr Kremer says
that the President, on hia application,■“ at
once said that the charge was false—that
he had nevet received any such letter, and
that General Jnckson had never recom
mended to him bat one person for any of
Gee.” After ail his, and after the charac
ter of a third person, and n member of the
government is brought in question in con
sequence of those very acts, it is with de
ference submitted, whether it is allowable
for the President to set up the confidential
character of the letter, as a reason fur refus
ing a disclosure of its contents.
The only remaining port of Mr Hay's
publication which I will notice, is the un
generous insinuation, that my object in re
questing a publication Of Gen. Jackson’s
letter, is to cause the President “ to de
grade himself by an acknoledgment that
his declaration to Mr Kremer was not true ”
Nothing could be more unjust than to attri
butv want of friendship or want of respect
for the President* The statement I made
in regard to General Jack*-n’a letter, was
tn8de at a time, and under circumstances,
which preclude the possibility of my hav
ing been actuated by unfriendly feelings to
wards him: and the maner and occasion
shew that none were intended against the
President. He had discharged bis duty
as he thought right, and I mine. We were
alike independent of each otner, and both
responsible to our constituents. It is not
pretended that I have had the least agency-
in the recent publication of the fact to which <
circumstances, then surely not anticipated,
have since, as is supposed, given impor
tance. I submited in silence to the vilest
imputations of the presses of the day, a«d
it was not until my veracity was impcaclu d
on the alleged authority of the Piesiden
himself, that I was induced to take measures
for the protection of my character. Could
.1 have done less, or coiiid I have adopted a
less exceptionable mode ? In a private let
ter to the President, t respectfully solicited
him to do me justice. It was suggested
that, under tbe influence excited' feelings,
* had been wanting in respect for his situs
tion. Anxious to avoid an imputation, I
was not conscious of deserving, X waived alt
discussion as to the fact,and'did every thiiv-.
in my power, which I supposed a just and
generous mind could ask, to remove the
imputation. If any thing could- be wanted
to prove my unwillingness to go one step
farther than is indispensable to the defence
»f my character, or to fail in the respect,
which every good citizen owes to rfie Cliiel
Magistrate ofthe country. I trust it will br
found in the fact that unwillingness has not
been overcome by the virulent, and flnatig
nant attack, which has been made upi.n me
by a member of the President’* f(amity,
nearly allied to him by the ties of affinity
It is therefore, rank-injustice to impute ty
me a wish to degiade the President; I am
not responsible for the statement of Mr
Kremer If it shall be found to conflict with
the letter of Gen Jackson, the fault if fault
there be, does not lie at my door.' This
controversy is not of my seeking. My on
ty objects are, truth and justice; and to thes-
every man, in this free and happy country
is equally entitled, in whatever station in
society his good or bad fortune may have
placed him.
I am, gentlemen, your obedient servant.

Dear Sib : In yours of the 11th, you desire to
be informed ot what I recollect of a tetter, addres
sed by Gen. Jackson to the President,-received
between the time of his election and installation in
office. I was, at that time, frequently in his com
pany, often calling on him as a friend, and receiv.
ed by him as such. I was penetrated, with a'grate
ful sense of his public service, atid a partiality for
his personal character Our intercourse had ri
pened into a warm and/disinterested friendship,
cherished with equal^satisfaction by both of us- In
one of these interviews, be spoke of a letter he
had lately received from Gen. Jackson, then tying
on his table, which he took up, and read. The
letter was of considerable length, carefully and
elaborately written, giving the General’s views ns
to tbe policy of his administration—Among these
views, was the proposition to divide the principal
cabinet appointments between tbe two great par
ties into which the citizens are divided. Against
this policy, I, without further solicitation, earnestly
expostulated, both on acoount of the President
personally, and on account of the public weal and

leak*"!
Brought to Jail,
to be ail embarrassed one, and the consideration
of an answer was agitated. The President seem
ed disposed to reply, but he intimated nothing of
the nature of that reply. My own impressions
were, that a reply at all was not imperiously called
for. I think I heard the President read this letter
again in the presence of a third person. i
He appeared to read the whole letter. He did
not intimate it as private and confidential from
Gen. Jackson. 1 understood the letter to be com.
municated to me in the (confidence of friendship,
though it was left entirely to my discretion, as not
a word dropped in regard to it, It would seem
that, if the same letter was several years afterwards
communicated to you and Mr.%indiay as a reason
for an official act, and that the General,. both to
you and tq the public, has said he has written
nothing but what the public might freely know, it
is no longer necessary; to friendship or to duty to
forbear communicating it for your disposal. 1
cannot be mistaken as to the existence of such a
letter. Let the letter be given to the public, and
its contents will be known. Gen. Jackson is n(ow
put forward to fill the Presidiential office, and it is
due to him uitd to tbe nWstfn tfccft tta efhiimeitts
