-' C' s' tl em e w t Mr. LT.vric, in Vhut ir to you of the 17ih instant, lii triought proper to remark, 14 iht leading object of Mr. Iby" Jw'io'-.e nunc i1 very in Jclica'tl' an 1 ):,rces:;.inly 'brouj'it befire the Jubiic) "is to direct th" pjhlicat )tn ion from the rrniti question to co literal, thouqh no' ummpor-S'-.t. is htrly inferrible." &c. &c Inii cirge is repealed in tbt same I'MSraph, in the expression, "this i' !-m;jted diversion," &c. liit miin question is, " whether .Iiclcson did, or did not write a tw: to the present President of the I ntetl States, advising h'rn to f irm I -i' nistration of two dhdnqnish. li Htpub'icdr.i, anJ two distinguished hkralim," Mr. Lowrie avers that G-nera! Jackson did wri'e su:h a yj and that Mr. Monroe did - such a letter to him and Mr. r vlty. I deny the truth of these f a--aertiins. I say Gen. Jackson did If-, wrae soch a letter. I say. Mr. p!o;v,e dui not read such a letter ,JMr. Lowrie and Mr. Findlayor jit' any body else. Is the question h't now? If Mr. Lowrie has -any -'juht on this point, he is referred I'' the Washington lit publican, of pinuy 21 h February 1 1. Thi-re I find that the accuser is met. Ms well as the accusation, and that i ' ' is (knouncfi in the stron?e;t s '"f(T'S which a gentleman can permit '"Wii to iie, ui &pc Aing of 4 rrian

of whom' he designs to spcik at all. 1 admit that my object was not to mecivvJi&V.Mr. Lowrie is pleas d to call Hhe main question. The poii iionof ."the cigc required no such movement. Mr. Lowrie had txtid, what it was incumbent on him to prtc what he has npt proved, and what, I aver, he neur can prove. When ever he shall think proper to exhibit his evidence the question will, no doubt, be met, if such a measure be necessary. In writing my note to you of the 15th instant. I had two objects in view. My first object was to it.ducc Mr Lowrie to publish his first letter to Mr. Monroe. This letter had been, in my opinion, very improperly supprt-Mtd. Mr. Lowrie, in stating to the public his communications to the President, outjht not to have withheld a part From the letter now exhibited, it appears: 1. That it acknowledges the receipt, by Mr. Lowrie. from an anonymoux writer, of the copy cl a letter written by Mr. Monroe, to Gen. Jackson of course, of an articl of property manifestly belongh J o Mr. Monroe, whu.Ii property Mr. Lowrie does not oile r to deliver to the owner- 'J. That this Ittter,, thus writte n by Mr. Monroe to Gen. Jackson, was transmitted

I to Mr. L. by son c person ho be supI prtssion of his own nume proved j that he had acquired it by a felony, j or retained it by an iiiL'.nous violation of confidence. 3. That Mr. ' Louri'- iftrend rifcndiiip; this li-tter I to the President without reading it, ! instrad oi deiivcrin; thia prupeny to

the owner, determines tu Kctp u lor himself!!! 4. That, ivhik Mr. Lowrie wished to impiesson the n:iiid of the President a b; iiid that he (Mr. Lowrie) was resolved to pursue some course with respect to this let ter, though he hud not determined what that course should be; to act, but "not to act radily;-' jet, die IVsidcnt was abo to understand, that, us y t, al! was safe ; that neither he nor Gen. Jackson was committed, because he (Mr. Lowrie) h k shown the paper to no one, and had consulted only one member of the Senate telative to it." Now, what is idl this but a menace, or a base ap peal to the fears of the President for himself, or for Gen. J -ckson, exposed to attack throu&h. the letter of the President ? What, but an inviniMon to cter into a iK?r-otiaUoa winch should ascertain the price to Ik paid for silence, the terms on which the LlUr time tt r MirrtUi lered? It

was an infamous prop; f; ana ws treated with the scorii i"tmeri:td. Mr. Lowrie farther remarks, that " Mr. liay promises that the good people of this country will, in due 'time, be informed," &c. Mr. Hay does not so promise. I h" expression is, " There can be no doubt that the ood people of this country will, in due time, and by proper authority, be informed,' &c 1 have no doubt up m this suhject now. But 1 ni ide no engjfremcnt, & cculd m-ike none. Mr. Monroe has no inforrnition to qive- Mr. Lowrie himself has possession of his letter, and will publish it or not, according to his own discretion. Mr. Monroe cm have no objection to its public, t.on: toitsbein? seen and read by the whole world. But he certain.y will not ask Mr.L .wr.c to publish it From Mr. Lo vrie he will ask nothing; and surely, he cannot inake arciuest. which will amount to a recognition of Mr. L'jwnesnsht tJ Tmis n-ferenco is m i-1- at the rcqufit of

the possession, or to the use, of his letter. As to Gen. Jacksnn. he is quite as competent to defend him-clf as he was and is to defmd the nation: and he will, no doubt, nuke his defence, when bethinks a defence is necessary. Is this a!-so a premise on my part, that Gen. Jackson shall defend himself, or that 1 will do it for him? Mr. Lowrie states that the President's letter to Gen. Jackson is only a pari of his incontrovertible evi. deuce. Why, then, docs he not publish all except the letter? Why d-es he n':t pub!:.!; the letter itself : !Ie seemed to think that he had a right to pursue his own course. Why does he not pursue it ? Does lie suppose that any man of common sense or honesty will be satisfied by his bare declaration, that he has in. controvertible evidence? Mr. Lowrie says tint he knows not the person fr-m whom the letter came, anel that he has no cause to sutpeet one person more than ario ht r. This answer defeats the principa! object of n.y letter. I was anjiiCos to obtain some information by which the felon who stole the Utter in question, or the traitor who, whatever might have ben the manner of his- obtaininij is kept it, or at least i-ses it, in violation of all honor and loiifuiince. might be discovered. I confsss that 1 had my suspicions; but they are suspicions onl : and 1 hall, therefore, fro no timber than to express my firm belief tt.at the letter forwarded to Mr. Lowiic, un der th'-- covtrof a Hicbmbnd pot mark , passed through W ashington on its way to Richmond, where it rei.uiimd, probably, lor a very short ime. The furnisher of the lettir. iiKiious to conceal his name, would of course take care that a post mark should not lead to his detection. . These were n.y objects, and these only. I had no idea of defending Sir. Monroe. He wanted no elefe'ice. He has never wanted any. Though I have seen him assailed on every side, by ignorance, by resentrient, by malice in almost every siispc, I have never written a word ir. delence of his character or measures. 1 beg th 1 1 m -.y not be understood as making any defence for him now. My object has been to d Miouticc an infamous intrusion iuto Ins Cabinet, ar.d to hold up the of. fender, when discovered, to the L::orn of this nation. Mr. Lowrie states that, as to the pnnciplfs on which the letter is retained, it will be 4 in season to state them when the surrender is requested. I am very confident that the Mirrtnder never will be requested. The letter is the property of Mr. Monroe Mr. Lowrie is bound to surrender it without an application, & to state the principles upon which h - his detained it so long, or detained it even for a moment. The season fordoing justice and telling the truth is eternal. . t But enough of Mr. Lowne. I ought not, perhaps, to have wasted a moment on a man so totally ignorant or regardless of the rules of decom m, and uf the principles of honor, as to ask a gentleman, and that gentleman the President of the U- States to betrau the confidence of his friend, by the publication of his letter; which letter, too, according to Mr. Low rio's opinion, was to prove that the President had not told the truth; and what, perhaps, would be dct-rm-d still more preciou , that gen.Jckm had expressed opinions which might be u icUsd ag das' him. m the

State which, in utt-r d-f, mc of th Caucus and Mr. L wt:e, hi l :.. m ignanimously adopted inhrVit m:-. of two other stttes fu; ;. two uril oilices in the Union. In this request, seriously ?:Wri:z cd by Mr. Lowrie to the Pie-:d'-:it? io commit an act of haLeresa an-i treachery, by the pubbction t . confidential letter from a hiv.i !, anvl to degrade himself by an jcknuwleelgement that fiis i!scLr uu n to Mr. Krcmcr vviis not true, tl.t rr is , manifestaiton of an othqui'y of judgment and ftelin, so homble, that one is at a loss whether to ascribe iito folly or to th pi i'j ; '.'..- ther to view it with cop.tvmi :, c r u.;mitigated abhorrence. Mr. Lowrie hai thought proper io bring my name before the public. I shall not withdraw it. GKOKGIC HAY. Ur2shinztori April 25, 1021. P. 8. Mr. Lowrie may, if be pleases, indulge the suppoMtinn dm the President is apprized of this communication : the supposition, however, will be entirely erroneous. I i -MdrMii MILL KT. Millet should be- Lown zbout the: middle of May. No other fers wol produce so much grf-tn fodd' i. It ought not to be suffered to ripen, because the stalks v. ill be ha d, but should be cut before the si --.ds are perfectly ripe; after dryii gs it should be set up in snud bundL-v, for a day or two. in the i,un, and !,- Srtp m the stalks vvili riJcr uuwhich, when ground and boui'ed, the flour, raised with the '-s:, makes admirable crd;es, ar.d v. hen made into much and fried, is lu-i-or to frird corn meal rr.'.;;!;.

If millet were commonly sov; it would become the food of working horses and cattle. Its superiority over oats is evident, and its equality with com is, after some fav:;;aLie experiments-, firmly believed. Superiority cf mil'et over ccj.'y, to cover Jollo-i'St preceding ivhect.
