l'h his frs, letter Mr. Monroe This letter had be- in
my opinion, very improperly suppressed Mr. Lowrie in
ahg 10 the pubic his communications 10 the President
ought not TO have withheld part. From the letter now
exhibited, appears l. That acknowledges tue recent
letter written by Mr. Monroe Gen. Jacksonof course
Of article Of property manifesty belonging TO Mr.
Monroe, which property Mr. offer to deliver
TO the owner That this letter, thus written by Mr. Mon

rashiyi yet the President also understand that
yet all was safe that neither he Jackson was

With the seurn IL neriisd. -
Lr. Lowrie farther remarks, That Mr. Uay promise.

Monroe has information O give. Mr.. Lowrie b;mssf
has possession OF his isser will publish il or not accord
ing to his own discretion MIR. Monroe have no OBJ
lection toj publication to its being and read by the
whole world But he certainly not ask Mr. LowrIe In
publish it. From MIR. Lowrie he will ask nothing and
surely, he cannot make request which will amount TO
recognition Of Mr. Lowries right possession or to
the use of his letter.
As TO Gen. JacksUn he quite asIcompetent 10 defend
himself as he was and is defend nation: and he will
no Doubt make his dsenee, when he thinks defence IN
necessary Is this also promise on my part that Gen
jackson shall defend himself that will do it forhim
M Lowre states that the Presidents letter to Jac

he not publish the letter itself. He seemed to think that
he had right to pursue his Why does he not

Mr. Lowrie that he not the person frs whom

These my objects and these only. had no idea OF
defending Mr.. Monroe. lie wanted no defence He has
never wanted any. Though seen him assniled on
