In the mean time you will please publish the inclosed, which is a single link in the chain of testimony 1 have in my possesion to nail this charge to the counter as a base forgery. JOHN WHITE. To Messr3. Gales & Seaton. Washington, May 0, 1811. My Deae Sir: 1 havo received your note, bringing to my notice a certificate subscribed by five gentlemen, members of the present Ilonse of Pepresentatives, all of them my political opponents, which you inform me is guinig thej rouods of the Locofoco papers. The object of that certificate seems to be to verify the correctness of an extract taken from the National Intelligencer of tho 1st of July. 1S20. Iti that extract I am stated by a former member of tho House of Representatives (I believe not now living) to have remarked, in a debate which occurred a year before, to the following effect: "If gentlemen will not allow ui to haw; black slaves they must let u: have white ones: for we cannot cut our firewood, and black our shoes, and lave our wives and daughters work in the Utchen.' I think yo'.i attach an importance to this miserable, attempt to prejudice me which i',doe$ not merit. Here is an extract from tae files of tho Intelligencer, under date nar twenty-four years ago, not from any sptech of mine, but from a speech of r.noiHer member of Congress. He does not uniertake to give my tr.Ws, but merely stales his impression of the ( 'Jt 't. of certairt wordsused by me a year before. llurin the long and arduous dhcusslons of that was called the Missouri question. I was so engrossed with the importance of te subject, and so deeply apprehensive bf the awful consequences which it involved, that I never wrote out or correct ed any speech of mine mado during the progress of the debate. On the last and most amnoriant occasion of the agitation df thalquestion, I made an elaborate speech of several hours' duration, no note of whiehy I believe, was ever reported by any of the stenographers, as it certainly 1 never was oy me. certainly will not undertake to recite what were the precise words used by me on th.e occasion of anv of the numerous eecb.es, short or long, which I made in Congress on the Missouri question; but this I will undertake to assert, with the most perfect confidence, that I never used th.e words, or any words which would bear the import of the extract, to w hich I have alluded. I am confident of it because I never entertained such a sentiment in my life. I never conceived a contingency in which 1 would favor or countenance reducing white men to slavery. To such an imputation I may oppose the tenor of a whole life, during which i -y humble exertions have been constantly directed to the preservation of liberty at home and tho encouragement of its establishment in foreign countries. If I have not been able to extend these exertions to the black race held in bondage in this country, it has been because of considerations and convictions, sincerely and honestly entertained, embracing the peace and happiness of both the white an 1 black races, which have been often presented to the public. It is quite possible that, in arguing the existence of the institution cf slavery in this countty, I may have contended that! the black race supplied those domestic offices which, under the names of 'help,' 'menial servants. 4 and 'domestics,' are to bo found in every state of civilized society, and consequently relieved the white race from the performance of th-se offices. If I have ever employed such an argument, (of which I havo no recollection,) it is apparent how erroneous inferences may havo been drawn from it which it did no: authorize. 1 have no desire to disparage the industry of tho wives of any of the certifiers to the extract, nor to boast of that in my own family; but I venture to say that no one of them performs more domestic industry with her o.vyi handi than my wife does at Ashland. lam, with great respect, Your friend and obedient servant, 11. CLAY. Hon. John Yihte. We admonish the wheat grower to cut his wheat a3 soon as the lower part of the stalk becomes yellow. Vital action ceases then, and wheat will then dry and ripen as well cut as standing. Tho rust does its principle mischief after this period, and if the wheat 13 cut it may be so managed as to be freed from the influence of rain and dew, which we believe cause rust. Experiments prove that there is a gaitfin the weight and quality of the wdieat by early cutting. Let nothing prevent it. Be careful to expose the wheat, in curing, to the sun and dry air every oppotunily, and keep it from moisture.

The facts, oa rrather them. are. that assembled in great numbers on Wednesor Thursday, and commenced the work of destruction and bloodshed by destroying lhe works, attacking the contractors, and beating the overseers. Tho military were called out and marched to the scene of carnage and bloodshed. As the companies approached the rioters, symptoms of disaffection were manifested in the ranks, but concealed from tho officers Tlie spirit of revolt gradually spread among 'the army, and, beingdrawn up before the riotets, on receiving orders to fire, the soldiers grounded "their arms! declaring their unwillingness to fire. The utmost consternation prevailed among her Majesty's officers of the higher grades; while the sober jinates united wiih the revolutionists, and ordered the temporary seizure cf all who would not join in the revolution. Such are the facts, as near as we have been able to collect them from gentlemen of respectability who had just arrived from the frontier. Wc confess the storyis rather improbable. The arrival of the Albany boat of Sunday afternoon will deci de the matter. ..... A 4) From Aux Cayes. Tho New lork correspondent of the Philadelphia North American writes under date of the -dOth: 'The schooner Daty Chase returned from Aux Cayes this moining, without having been able to enter, thus breaking up her" voyage. She arrived at Aux Cayes on the 1st iust. , and was boarded by a Haytien brig-of-war, and toid thai no vessels were al.owed to enter. After laying off and on until th.e 7th, during which time they heard a heavy cannonading between the rival negroes, they left. The following extract of a letter, dated on the 1st inst., from a gentleman now at Aux Cayes, confirms the report of a battle: ''I have just heard that a battlo has been fought at Aquin, and a great many blacks were killed. But tlie blacks, having a much larger army, took possession of the town, and commenced a general massar 1 ... 1 1- .r, V ere 01 muiauo woman miu umiuivju. lerday they commenced taking most of the mulatto men and women, who had not fled, and committed them to prison.

A ship supposed lobe lhe Crawford, late of New York, but more recently a packet between Havana and Cadiz, was fallen in with by II. B. M. brig Perrett, in the act of taking a cargo of negroes on board. An attempt was made by the brig's boats to board her, but th.e British wore beaten off. The Crawford then took in her cargo of one thousand negroes and proceeded to sea. When off the harbor she again fell in with tlie brig, but soon outsailed her and made hsr escape. An American brig from Havana in the river Galenas, from having a cargo of slave goods, wa3 suspected of being connected with the slave-trade, and was detained by the British and prevented from landing her cargo. The British steamer Henlopen went round to Moravia and towed the United States ship Decatur up the river to investigate the affair. The officers and crew belonging to tho American squadron on tho coast were all well. Shipwreck u;id loss cf Life. A letter from Patuxent, dated the 15th, mentions the capsizing rf a schooner, commanded by Cant. Flowers. There were five fe males onboard, and four males, all of whom wero drowned with the exception of the Captain and his brother, who clung to the rigging until assistance arrived. Loxdsville Jour. ' Useful Recife. The following anecdote of Sir Astley Cooper will give a good hint to sportsmen. It is as simple as it is easv: A friend of Sir Astley, says: I remember upon one occasion saying in his hearing, I must send my gun to have it cieanptL for it has become so much leaded that it has become unfit for use.' 'Pooh!' said he, 'send it to London! Keep a few ounces of quicksilver in your gun case, and then you can easily unload your gun yourself. Stop up the touch-hole by means of a little wax, and then pouring the quicksilver into the barrels, roll it alorig them for a few minutes. The mercury and the lead will foim an amalgam, and leave the gun as clean as the first day it came out of the hon. You have then only to strain the ouicksilver through a piece of thin washy leather and it is again fit for use, for the io0,l km 11 left in the strainer.' This 1 tj. 1 u in plan Ins been used with perfect sucoess. 1 U. S. Post. tTTho Washington Correspondent of the Charleston Courier says: Mr. South all bearer of despatches from Mexico brings intelligence from Mexico that the Tovernment is on the eve of another revo lution. Another attack is also expected from the French. Santa Anna being in a critical situation, will, perhaps, listen to the offer of eight or ten millions which we have made for Texas and California. The Senate, it is understood, will.await the reply which the President expects to receive from .Mexico, very soon.

'A blessing on the man who invented sleep,' said the immortal Sancho Panzn; 'for it covers one all over like a garment. We subjoin half a dozen proverbs, with which we have .met, on the subject: St. Louis Gaz. One hours sleep before midnight, is worth two after. The morning to the mountain tho evening to the fountain. Go to bed with the lamb and rise with the lark. The choleric drinks, the melancholic eats; tho phlegmatic sleeps. Who sups well, sleeps well.

ICT" We heard some dozen or fifteen reports, sounding something like the tiring of cannon, last evening. The discharges were irregular, and each drawn out into a sound very much resemblirrg a wail, and followed by a multitude of minor groans, uttered in every possible key. Our impression was that the locos were mourning the loss cf their favorite candidate for the presidency, but upon mature deliberation wo are inclined to think that they wero burying their hope of success, as a party, with the ' honors of war.' If such was the fact, the disbanding of the modern de mocracy was perfectly in accordance with tho acts, ends and aims of its being. Never did a political party exist so totally devoid of principle as the poor, defunct locofoco. The w hole object of its ex istence was constituted in an opposition to tho will and wishes of honest men, and without any definite motive to action other than its own perversity, it has, at length; butted its head against its own inconsistencies. To bury locofocoism with the honors of war,' when it had its birth in an opposition to a war for the preservation of the honor ami rignls of the American people, harmonizes with tho sub-treasury scheme, the standing army, autitariffism, anti-bankism, etc. May its aches rest in peace !
