51 r. Lowrie, General Jackson and the President. The National Intelligencer of the 8th inatant contains the following letter fioni Cforal' Jackson, art answer to an inquiry made 0t t hm? by Mr. Krcmer, whether he luul ever" written a letter to the president, advising hioi to torm his cabinet of " two dislin g?i shed tVdi-ralisls and two distinguished repubiicana." Washington, May 6. Df. \uSin: ? I have received yout let ter ol >esterday; und with much cheer fulness and candor, shall reply lo your inquiry. 1-. has been repeatedly pressed before the public, that 1 had \?riiien a letter to Mr. Munroe, recommending him to se lect fur his cabinet 44 two distinguished republic ans and two distinguished fede ralists;" jnd thai to Mr. Lo? tie and Mr. 1'indUy, senators Irom the statcol Penn sylvania, the Inter had been read. I have not been able to persuade myself that the fat t w.is so, inasmuch as ? or coirespondcnce was private and confi- | dential ? because Mr. Find lay, who was ! present, has no recollection of i' ? ne cause no such letter was ?.ver written by <lidt tic read any such Teller, o? indee^ any letter at all. I regret thai Mr. Low ric,in prcs Ming his matter, should not ic.clleM one material circumstance. I When firs, it was spoken of, he stated to mr and to othcis, that a letter pur porting ant' dec Ian d to he mine, had! been rf-ad lo himself and Mr. Findlay, ! by tlte president, which advised that his cabinet should be homed of u two dis tin.MUshcd republicans, and two distin guished federalists." My reply to him was, that no such Utter had ever heeii w linen by im ; that so iar as I could re collect, ? nlv on: person, Col. Dru\toti, ol South Carolina, had been rccoromen d- d t<? oiin; th.it I Ind suggested to the president the propiiety of appointing Irf.n sccrctaiyo! war; b ribe reason that he w a - a m;iii of high and honorable ieci wg*, h..iies:, vii'in>ius, hikI cf energetic < bar.icter.

I ? ive it as n?v opinion, that the b' hi evidence of devo* ion io he govern ii. cut, its constitution, and laws, which any could afford, was, when the.se wete assailed, to venture forth in their de fence, and maintain them amidst puva lions, : nd at tlic sacrifice of domestic quiet. That names were n.ere bubbles; and he who would, as Col. Dtayton had done, abandon his fireside and the com for. s of borne, and continue in the de fence and protection of bis country, through the war, merited the confidence of the government, It t him hear what n-inc of paity lie miefit; such a man I did recommend to Mr. Muntoe; fie was not- 1 had never ??enj yet one whose ? onduct. character, and ^ood qualities, rn'itle lurn to any and every confidence.

Ja.mks Monnok, JTesiJent of the I'nitri! Statet. Washington, Feb. 22, 1824. Dear Sin: i have ih? know k- V of the dale of the letter to vvhi.h Mi . Low lio refers, nor can I imagine in what manner any letter of mine to you or other friends should have got into the possession of any one. At t lie ime I was about to form an administration, I com municated f re? ly with some mvmbcrs of congress, who had co operated with me in the war, and in whom I had per fect confidence. I also corresponded ?v it h some other friends at a distance. It was natural, at that time, that I should communicate to those neai me the opin ions of distinguished characters at a dis tance, as having weight in my decision, as to the ai rangement. Hut I Iwvc no recollection of giving any copy of my views on the subjret to any one. The copy in question, if coircct, must be resorted to, for unfriandly purposes, and m bieach of confidence, and h?s probably been purloined. I recollect w titing you a Iciter, in answer to yours rt commending colonel Diayton, in which I concurred with vou in the t g'eav rotult, that the president ought to - be at the head of thin nation, rather than of a party, but thought that that result could only be brought about by time, considering the circumstances in winch wo were then placed. Hy perusing your letuis, 1 find that you essentially con curred with me in that sentiment, al tn'High you inclined to the opinion that such men an Col. Drayton, nho had g?- i v en such proofs of patriotism ftnd devo- J 1 lion to the cause of his country, ought ' i to be considered as having a just claim f lo t e confidence mf the government, ; a* d, in Tact, to he considered as rcpub- I licans. The ropy ol this letter 1 have i not been able to find, nor do I recolle" l . ever seeing it, or your letters, til' wi h- j in a lew day* past. Mine the year 18 17. ' To Mr. Lowrie's note I have given ; no answer, nor shall I. Lei him lake j his cou s?j we siund whete *e di(i. It j my confidence, given at the time refer- ; r?. d to, has been, in any manner abused, ! or the letter ??c<n purloinei, that i* an incident which must dishonor the party guilty of such act>. I do nut think 1 1 vat < ihetc is any thing in your Ictieis which can injure you, nor in mine, in reply to t them; but the contrary. 1) fiance, t?y ? reserve, and silence, is what the trans | action, an<1 all coniected with the pre- j sent movement, merit. ? j I have done what I could to moderate j and put down party spirit , believing that, : by so doing, I ?*ve the best support in i my power to ??ur republican govern- I incut. It can <i?.y be put down by the ) republican pari*, and, while that party ' is in power, bv a magnanimous policy. 1 Persecution w?juij keep tr.e federal pi?r ty, which, at one time, was, in certain i members of it, a monarchic*! one, alive, i and give it force. j With sincere regard, 1 am, dear sir, yours, JAMES MONROE.

They trust however, that they have approach ed the discussion, devoid of all pnjo I ''i .* , with an honest d? sire, in doing jus j :icr, to sustain those gr?at princi| tes t>' concord and power, which are essential to the durability of ttiis union. Vuur cointnit'ee deeti. it entirely un necessary, tint the) should lecite all the circum5tanc.es comp. i-ing a his oty of this claim, a* they ait gcnti?lly known to th* na ion, and arc to e found in an au hcntic shap< , in 'he dot ti ments accompanying the presiirn:'-. message. To this source your commit tee would ask a special lelerence. It will be sufficient f ?r pres? lit |>U' po ses to premise Hat a large portion of the claim ol Massachusetts does ii"t appear to be affected !>y those consiii'i t'mnal diflii utiles, which so long in the cosideratioii of the executive of the United States, operated as an imptdi nient to its adjustment. You i committee are ut?ar?imous!y of opinion that the services rendered hy the militia of Massachusetts, which iittiy he considered beyond all rxtcp tion, and as entitled to remuneration, ate comprised in a cl^as of CHses, in winch, by the spontaneous impulse of the militia, with or without ihr sanction ol the executive of tha1 state, or with or without a requisition on the pait ol (he officer ol the United States command ing the department, they assembled, ei ther lor the purpose cf icpciling actual invasion, or under a welt lounded appre hension ol invasion. It is, in fart, on this principle, and on this principle only, that the claims for militia sei vices ol the various staves have been audited and al lowed at t lie department of war. Servi ces of this description, pan ioticully per formed, ought not to be prejudiced by a pre existing difference of opinion be tween the executive of Massachusetts and the commanding officer of the Uni ted Stales' forces, as to an abstract con struction of the constitution, when such a difference of opinion appears to have hud no sort ol efTuct on the extent ami character of the services afforded. But, i on the other hand, your committee arc i equally unanimous in declaring, that, in all cases where the acts of the executive i of Mas ar husetts gave a direction to i tin services of the militia of that state, in opposition to the views of the general i government, the claim for such services i is altogether inadmissible; for these, the < government of Massachusetts may be considered ?o have incurred an ulterior i and exclusive responsibility to her own < people. ? Your committee waive the discussion 1 ol toe question, how far the renunciation, t on the part of the executive and legis- i lature uf the stata of Massachusetts of ihe unc?nkU;utioDal principles on which the then governor ot thai stale acted, in the c?r|y stages of the war, is necessary to the allowance of any portion of the claims ot ihe state for the services in question. These claims, when first pre sented tor adjustment, immediately alter the lair war, were considered rather in the mass, than in reference to the par iii u ar items of which they are compn sed. In fact, nt thu; eur'y period, the principles on which the iLiims for mi |i i,' sSrvu cs ought lo he audited and al lowed, were but impcrte* ",ly tixrd. The sn'.) ? <j'Jr til present itiou and examina tion ui the < l.iims ot the several slate*, fur sti' li sti vices, have slrd mud li^hl on this subject, and have aff. r?'ed j in my advantages at the present mo ment in tx. mining those ot Massachu setts. Distim ti ms, important to the elu cidation ol principles, and to the ascer tainment ot jus'ice, have been taken, anil sustained, wiicli might nuuially have heeii overlooked at the commence ment ol the discussion. Yrtur committee, however, cannot ab stain from indulging in one remark, that, it the fact of the government ol Massachusetts having declined, for som< year- suoscquent to the late war, to re nounce tlie unconstitutional docti ines of her then exe. utive, as developed in t e opinions ol the ju-lges of h. i supreme judii tal e mi t, can he supposed e?cr lo have home upon th it portion of the ? lai'n which the committee have re commended f^r payment, the recent t'tsavowal ol tier present exe utive and ir trivial ore furnishes at least a belief t'la1 all dancer ot a future collision be t * en tlie j>meral government and iiie states, in iel\ rcn? e to the authority of tlu loimei over the iniluiaol ti.e l itter, li sheen pei uianen' ly removed.
