I viewed him in no other light than that'nf a wirm soppor ter of General Jackson. In connexion with tome remark of his, that there was a rumor of an attack on Gen.

I am to this day uninformed. In be ce ruber 1827. I accidentally heard from a gentleman of this city, in a conversa fiun turning on the subject o the feel ings of Mr. Monroe towaids Gen Jackson, (which 1 stated 1 knew U friendly ) that there was a letter of the former io the hands of (he latter, which afforded conclusive proof of hia hoarili ty to the General. Having found some time before, that the letter of Mr Monroe to me of the 9th of September a copy of which is hereto annexed, was missing, I ascertained the fact by an examination ot the letter to me. that rt was missing, on a hint from a friend that there wa a letter written by Mr. Monroe, "as it was supposed, to me, which waa .out of my pos-8iou. and was intended to be used for political purpura. My friend could not inform me in whose possession the letter was. On hearing that there .was a letter ot Mr. Monroe' in General Jackson pus sexxion, I concluded it must be the same hougli 1 was utterly at a loss to conjee cure how it had passed into his hands, or how he could conceive that it indica ted unfriendly feelings to him on the pa-t of the writer. I communicated what I had heard to the two Senators, at that time' from n sa s lennessee, uaze vvtute and aiaior Eaton, and my belief that the letter in the possession of the General waa Mr, Monroe's to me, and ttated, if it was, it would be in my power to shew that the letter, so far from being hostile, was directly of an opposite, character. I hey wrote to the General to ascer tain if it was the one Supposed; and I addressed a note to Mr Monroe to ap prise him ot what 1 had heard, and o request him1 to send me a copy ef his private correspondence with General Jackson, (the one published, with iln- correspondence between General Jack son and myself,) to be placed in thi hand of the two Senators, as explanatory of the letter in question, should it prove to be the one supposed. I have not been able to lay my' hand on my note io Mr, Monroe, nor am 1 certain that I Craaford has si ace. however, ttated ia hia letter te Mr..Frsyi, aad the aoe to me, thai toe aieeat ef Mr, Far- sytb waa erropeees an this points Viewing Ihea lata whet aBair at aae traflMcriaa, (it can be vice ed Ma aa other ligHt.) what a spec tact n preacat- ed!

In order thai the whole oi this iokiui ous transaction may- be presented ii one view, t annex a copy ot the letter fmm Mr. F-Y:h to Mr. Hamilton, of the 8:h FeiHuaiy. Kaonoi but regret. that Mr. rmyili haa thought proper to withhold from the public the letter of Mr. Hamilton, of the 25il ef January, tn which this is an answer, ll is rare, that an answer can be fully understood. without the letter to which U is a re and 1 do feel that justice to my self as well as to the country, iid 1 will add to Mr. Ftrtyih himself, re quires its publication. 1 if ranking these remarks, 1 am not unmindlul of the hope, which he expresses, (hat his oamr may not be introduced in the fur ther discussion of this ubject, I feel every disposition to comply with hu desire, .and judging from my own feel ings, I can weli appreciate the ' pain which he am! feel in being bvolved in the controversy: but he must pardon me for thinking, that the claims of jus tice are paramount to those of delicacy, ami mat in lusisting upon me periorm ance of an act, on his part, which jut tice' to me requires, I am not regard less of his sensibility. In coming be fore the public he has voluntarily, put himself a a position which gives me the ight to make the request. 1 would al so suggest, that this is not the only let ter in bis possessioh, connected with ihis correspondence, necessary to the full elucidation of this affair.
