and read by the President to him. The Presiden
on former occasion, informed me he had never
read such letter TO Mr.. Lowrie and Mr.. Fndlay

stated to me, that no such letter was read to
him. Having communicated TO the editor OF the
Democratic Press the information | had received,

this letter. Subsequent events, however, shew that
Twas mistaken, Mr.. Lowre, in his publication, says,
speaking OF the letter, " Why does Mr.. Hay adopt
the expression used in the newspapers rather thar
in my letter, viz. two federalists and two demo.

the opinion, that he, Mr.. Lowrie had not made use
of this expression. This in fact, was the charge
made--ths was the question put by me TO the Pres
ident, and to this question was his answer given,
and which Mr. Lowrie did tell me, on more than
OCCASION that he would prove. Although L

bureaus and drag forth the private correspondence of
