CONVENTION MEETING

That the instrument which we now call our
constitution, Is defective, and therefore needs
amendment, is a fact which we thinkno one will
pretend to deny. To amend or alter this copsti-
tuition under which we have lived through ma
ny variations of circumstances, by means Of a
convention invested with power to effect such
c9aoge as they may think proper, is a subject
Which requires of every citizen Of the state his
most careful consideration. The subject now
asa the decision ofevcry individual who regards
MS political welfare; aud we conceive it TO be
tse duty.of such individual, no matter how lit
TIC nc may be interested in matters Of state, to
give his voice on the subject, in order that the
true scase ofd,e people may be known.
IN pursuance 10 this duty and according 10
notice, meeting convened on the evening of
Saturday last, at the Franklin Hotel, in which
was present very respectable number Of cur

Dean GENERAL: Mr.. Lowric has again
made his appearance III the lnteliigencer, and
endcayors to prove his charge in relation to the
letter, said to have been ritten by you, TO the
President, and read by the President to him.
The president, on n former occasion, informed
me ne had never read sucha letter to MIR. Lowric;
| aud Mr.. Findlay, who is said to have been, at
the time, present, has stated to me, that such
letter ever read to him. Having co,nmu-
nicated to the editor of the Democratic Press the
information had received, was led to believe
that we would hear no more of this letter. Sub
sequent events, however, shew that was mis-
taken. Mr.. Lowric, in his publication. says,
speaking of the letter, &C Why does Mr.. Hay
adopt the expression used in the newspapers, ra-
Their than in my letter. viz, two federalists and
democrats" BY this, he evidently intended to
convey the opinion, that he Mr.. Lowrie, had
not made use OF this expression. This, IN fact,
was the charge unade-this was the question put
by me to the President, and to this question was
his answer given, and which Mr.. Lowrie did
tell me, on more than one occasion, that he
would prove, Although am perfectly clear, in
my opinion, that neither folly nor wiclkeluess
can be a sufficient reason to ransack bureaus,
and drag forth the private correspondence OF
| any man, yet, inasmuch as have been frequent
ly called upon, by my constituents, for informa-
tioa in relation to this letter. and feeling confident
| that no motive can exist with you for withhold
ing thecontents of any letter you ever wrote, l
therefore respectfully ask you, in order that the
public may be correctly in formed, to commune
cate to me whether you ever did write such let
ter or not.
Accept the assurance of my high considera-
ton and regard. Very respectfully, your fe!-

Dean SIR: I have received -ou letter OF
yesterday, and, with much cbeerfulness can
dour, shall reply to your inquiry.
1T has been repeatedly pressed before the
public, that had written letter TO Nj. Mon
roe, recommending him to select for lis cab-
net, " two distinguished republicans and two
distinguished fcdcralists - and that to MT. Low
ric and MT. Findlay, Senators from the state of
pennsylvania, the letter had been read. | have
not been able to pursuade myself, that the fact
was so, inasnucb as our correspondence was
private and northumberland Mr.. Findiav,
who was present, has no recollection of it--bc-
cause no such letter was ever written by INC
and, because the President denies that lie read
any such letter at all. / regret that Mr.. Low
rie, in presenting this matter, should moi reco-
lcct one material circumstance. When first il
was spoken OF, he stated to me, and TO others,
that alettcr purporting, & declared, TO he mine
had been read to himself and Mr.. Findlay, by
the President, which advised that his Cabinct
should be formed OF "tgo distinguished rcpnb
iicans, and two distinguished fejeralists.n hJv
reply to him was, that no such letter had ever
been written b. nc that so far as could re-
collect, only one person, Col. DraytOn, of South
Carolina, had been recommended TO him. that !
had suggested to the President the proprietv M
appointing him Secretary of War; for the rca
son that he was man of high and honorable
feelings, honest, virtues, and of energetic cha
ractcr. Personally, knew not Col. Drayton
but, from information Of his general character
felt satisfied he could do more to correct tb
feuds which unbappily prevailed in the army, tina,
any other man of whom had any knowledge
