LETTER FROM MIR. CLAY.

ON AGRICULTURE AND THE BANKRUPT LAW.
 .4shl0nd, Aug. 20, 1S44.
 My Dear Sr:-T received your letter of the 12th inst. You surprised me by the statement of some opinions which are attributed to me. Nothing can be more unfounded than the assertion that am un- friendly to the protection of agriculture. con- slider that interest in all its departments as the pre- dominant interest in the United States Cotton, Hemp, Wool, manufactures of Tobacco, and other articles of agricultural product are now protected, and If the measure of protection be inadequate no man in the United States would be willing to 90 farther than I would in extending sufficient pro- tection l have never held or expressed any other sentiments. The substance of what have said and which is to be found in my published speeches is, that agriculture in the United States owing to our distance from European countries, needs but little protection. But the principal aim in intro- ducng and protecting manufactures is to benefit ag- riculture by opening new and home market for its surplus productions. Expressions disparaging to agriculture or rafher to the habits oc those who pursue it have been put into my mouth, and para ded at the head even of newspapers I never used such expressions. They have been forged or fabri. cated by political enemies Of all the pursuits of man, consider the cultivation of the earth as the most honorable. It is my own pursuit, and any | refiecting man must at once perceive that could say nothing derogatory of it.
 have already stated in letter which has been published that the General Assembly of Kentucky gave me no instructions to vote for the repeal o the Bankrupt Law Instructions were pending be. fore the Legislature but they fell by disagreement | between the two Houses.
 l consider that the American people have ex. pressed decided disapprobation to the late Bank rupt Law and for one, in deference to that opinion
 do not desire to see that law revived or any other Bankrupt law passed. .l..' 0'N''
 congratulate you. on the satisfactory result ol the August elections, and remain your friend, And obedient servant,

THE FRAUD DETECTED !-PENNsYLvA.

 ZAe Globe, the Polk National organ at Washing ton, has issued tsco different PrOspectuses for it's DGllas Globe or Campaign paper in one of which to circulate at THE SOUTH, it assails the present Tariff with extreme ferocity, while in the other, which is distributed through PENNsXLvA- MA, the attack On the zGr $ omitted altogether! The Southern Prospectus says:

Clay during his short reign in the coon-sin Congress calculated to give him the suf- ferages of the nation for the Presidency Is THE. DISHONEST, FRAUDULENT, AND ExoRBTrANT TARIFF OF MR.

 fl Most Capital Joke.-The following resolu- tion, adopted at the meeting of the Dorrites, at Providence, on Wednesday last, comprises one of the best jokes we recollect to have seen or heard recently. We doubt if $500 of Rhode Island or any other gee,ine money could have been collected, if the whole tatterdemalion concourse at Providence had empted out into pile the contents of their scallets and pockets. Here is the resolution
 Resoloed, That we pledge ourselves not to give the Bankers of Rhode Island any further credit till Governor Dorr is liberated and the peoples Consti. tuition restored; and that we recommend to every friend of Dorr and Free Suffrage throughout the Union to refuse to take Rhode Island money in ex- change for their labor, and immediately to demand specie for what they hold"
 We have not heard that the credit of any of the Bankers of Rhode Island has suffered by reason of this resoluton-nor have we heard distinctly, that any of the Banks of that State have curtaed their business or suspended specie payment.-Boston Atlas

Why should he not run ahead of Clay, the '' American System" candidate, in Canada? And Polk would run still better in Texas that he does in Canada.

LOCO POGO TESTIMONY,

The Times has not yet copied the remarks made by the Hon. Moves Billings at the late Loco Con. vention in Norwich in compliment to Mir. Clay. They certainly cannot find fault with the authoti- ty MT.

Contention of Child,en-There are old heads on young shoulders in these latter days. A New York State Temperance Convention of Children. was held at Kinderhook, on the l4th ult., at which delegations from places far off as Rochester. were present. A very large number were gathered. and the exercises are said to have gone off pleasantly. We rejoice in all the good that was done on this received; but does it not admit of question whether this crowding of children forward into all the usuages and practices ofmen, will best promote that modesty and reverence which are the charm of childhood, and the best pledge of honorable and useful manhood !--.M r.
