N&TICE. T HE simplified Portable Horae Saw Mijl, advcrtls cd in the National Intelligencer, is now Improved, nnd well adapted to tho benefit and ease of tho far mer and mechanic;' first on account of tho cheapness of its construction, as it has neither crank or pitman, or spur whcoi,cog wheel, balance wheel, tninncl head, or wallowcr, andukes'only sixteen stick* of timber to compose the frame, exclusive of the gear works, to drive two saws with considerable force, having but little friction oh account of the trillinggear works.— Except the carriages, saw frames, and rag wheels, there is but one wheel for the horses to turn round, with fifteen pegs stuck in the upper part ot the rim, which operate against two arms let through‘a lone beam extending over,the centre of the wheel und quite across the mill, and there are only two other arms lot through this beam, one on each side, aud.at- lacked to the top of each saw frame, balancing each other. As the long boam is hung on gudgeons and boxes at cneb end, and as lttakcs no power, in amnn- ncr, to raise up cither of the saws, being on a balance, if eaoh gate weighed 1000 pounds, a man could work them up and down with case xvith one hnnd. Thai being operated by this mode of balancing, the whole power of the teanris applied in thrasting the saws thro’ tho wood, so. that a continued stream of saw-dust,.it flying from either one saw or the other, is equal to the rotnry saw and much better adapted for;sawing large timber. To this cheap constructed Mill, 1 have now added two pumps for pumping of water, and two cut ting knives for cutting straw; and Ilia grindingot grain, anu the washing of clothes, are all done by borsc pow er, and many other things may, with ease be added to it with little cost, such as csiroing. spinning, picking machines, Ac. It is supposed that a Saw Mill built on this plan, will saw, In one, vvith two horses, from 600 to 1000 feet of plank, end double that quantity with four horses.- Thus, by a trilling expense, every farmer nnd mechanic can lie supplied with many con veniences at theirdoor to save labor.

In our columns this day, will be found Gen eral Jackson’s answer to Mr. Clay, in affirm ance of his letter to Mr. Beverly. It is full aud complete; it shews an ollbr nude, beyond all question, und under such sort of circumstances [hat no one can believe, but that it was author ised and directed either by Mr. Clay, or through him by some of his well tried, true and trusty friends. Contracts and offers of this kind aro never made in public—in open day; thoy are always proposed with care and caution, that if jhey fail, some hole may be left by which to C3- enpo. To us it appears that in the case before us, there is none by which escape, or even re treat can bo procured. Gen. Jackson is brought into th!s*mattor, as unexpectedly as thousands might on othor'etihjects who speak “as every freeman has a right,” of matters and things, un der his own vino and fig treo. In tho promul gation he docs not stand responsible before the people, yet has he fully sustained all that he said; and tve doubt if the public will not n- gree, oven in the absence of Mr. Buchanan’s continuation of tho matter, that ho lias gone further than was first asserted,' and traced tho conspiracy to tho very door of the Honorable Secretary, or, if not there, to tho dour of some advised friend, which is the same thing. TO TIIE PUBLIC. A letter addressed by mo to Mr. Carter Beverly, of Virginia, has lately, without nny ronseiit, agency, or wish on my part, found its way into the newspapers, accompanied by a statement over the signature of II. Clay, con tradicting and denying, not any thing I have written, but” that which ho himself makes me to say. It is not the interpretation given by him to my letter, but my own fanguage and own statement, that I am called upon to defend, and expect to vindicate. n To explain tho mannor in which my opinions have found their way into tho Journals of tho day, seems, in tho first place, to be due both to the public and myself. Mr. Beverly, being on a visit at my house, requested to know of me other gentlemen being present, whether the o vertures heretofore imputed to Mr. Clay were well founded, and if I iiad a knoXvlodgo of any of the facts myself. I answered him candidly; being unable, as well as unwilling, to refuse, telling things I had hoard, nnd knew to bo 'r.te. A letter detailing our conversation, shortly af terwards, obtained • publicity in tho ■ “North Carolina Journal,’’ printed at Fayetteville.-— On tho 15th of May last, from Louisville, Ken tucky;' n communicatin'.) was addresssed to mo by Mr. Bevorly, stating, what before I had not known, that he was tho writer of this Fayette ville Letter. Mo explained the reasons for his having repeated tko conversation, and request, ed to be informed if in any thing ho had mis quoted or misconceived my moaning. Under such circumstances concealment aud silence might have soumed'niere affectation, or indeed something of a different mid even worse charac ter. Publicity having been given to tho con versation, and nn appeal made to mo for accu racy, I felt it to be duo to Mr. Beverly, that nothing of fabrication should be imputed to him, ind to myself, that what 1 had stated should bo correctly understood. Accordingly, on the 6th June, mnd in renly to his of tho 15:h of May, I addressed shim a loiter of which tho public aro already- possessod. Haw, and by what means, it, found its way into the columns of n newspaper, Mr. Beverly has explained; ho states to me that he gave it into tho hands of Mr. Noah Zane, of Wheeling, Virginia, at his earnest request, for perusal, under u plodge of honor that it should be returned; and with no expectation that nny copy of it was to bo retain ed; that on applying for, aud demanding the letter, it was refused to ho restored until two copies should bo made. 116 proceeds to say; “Mr. Zane; an old nnd most respectable gentleman, asked, the loan of your letter as a favor; amt, contrary to all custom and propriety lu such cases, ho in con- , unction with Mr. Clay and his friends, took copies of t, withont iay knowledge or'privity in hny way, nnd without asking my leave to do so. Soon as I un derstood that such wa* the use they were making of it, I demanded of Mr. Znno the letter, nnd remonstrated was elected President, Mr. Adams should not bo continued Secretary of Statu, by a compleio union of Mr. Clay and his frionds, they would iut ail end to tho Presidential contest in ono tour; and he . was of opinion it was right to fight such intriguers with their own weapons.’* This disclosure was m ide to mo by A1 r. Juntos Buchanan, a member of Congress from Penn sylvania, a gentleman of tho first respectabili ty and intelligence. Tho evening before, ho had communicated substantially, tho same pro position to Major Eaton, tny colleague in tho Senate, with a dosire warmly manifested that ho should communicate with me, and-ascertain my views on the subject. This, ho declined doing, suggesting to Mr. Buchanan that he, as well as himself, could convorsff with me, and ascertain my opinion; though, from his knowl edge of mo, ho thought ho could well conjec ture my answer—that I would enter irito no engagements whatever. It was the morning succeeding this interview, after Major,Eaten had objected to converse with tno on tho sub ject, and before I had set out from my lodging for tho capitol, that Mr. Buchanan camo to visit mo, and when the conversation I have slated took place. Tito answer returned, has already been published, and need not hero bo repeated. To be thus approached by .a gentlomin of Mr. Buchanan’s high character and standing, with an apology proffered at the time for what ho was about to remark to mo—one who, as I understood, had always, to that moment, been on familiar and friendly terms with Mr. Clay, assuring mo that on certain terms and condi tions being assented to on my part, then, “by an union of Mr. Clay and his friends, they would put an end to tho Presidential contost it) one hour,” what other conclusion or infcreltco was to bo tnado, than that he spoke by au.lior- ity, either of Mr, Clay himself or some of h ; s confidential friends. Tito character of Mr. Buchanan, with me forbids tho idea that he was acting on his own responsibility, or that, under any circumstances, he could have been induced to propose nn arrangement, unless possessed of satisfactory assunmees, that, ifnccepted, it would hq carried fully into effect. A wo alt mind would seldom or everi be; thus disposod to act, nil intelligent ono never. Under all these circiihutunces appoirinz at that time, I did not resist tho impression that Mr. Buchanan had approached inn on the cau tiously submitted proposition of some authoris ed person; and therefore, in giving h;n» my answer, did request him “to say to Mr. Clay and his friends,” what that answer had boon. Whether tho communication was nndo to Mr. ' Clay and hi* frionds I know not; this, though, I do know, that wh'do the opinions and courso of Mr. Clay as to thoblec.ion', were hut matter of conjecture with many at and bofure tills time, very shortly ufter this conversation took place, his, and his friends’ opinion became forthwith matter of corlainty nnd general know- . lodge. Still I havto not said, nor do I now J say, that tho proposal made to mo was “with ■' * the privily and consent” of Mr. Clay; nor oi-*!*^ thor, have I said that his friends in Congress nL made propositions to Inc. Those are Mr. Cl ij’s interpretations of my letter to Mr. Beverly, and not what my leitiir itself contains. What I liavo stated, arc the facts of u-convorsailun between myself and a mctuhei of Congress of high 'respectability. Tho conclusion nnd infe rence from that conVorsatiun—the time—man ner—and all the circumstances, satisfied my, mind that it was not unauthorised. So I have thought, and so I still think; and yet, I again, repeat tint in this supposition I may have pos sibly done Mr. Clay injustice. If ho should. ; bo ablo to sustain the averments he has m ide, and acquit Iiinlsclf of- any agency und partici pation-in tho mattor, I beg leave to assure hun that so far from affording mo pain, it will give mo pleasure. I certainly can h.ivo no desire that the character of my country, through tho acts of a prominent citizen,’ shall rest under any sortotts imputation: for tho honor of that coun try, I should greatly prefer,' thafony inference I have made rany turn out to bo iH founded. Mr. Clay declares his great satisfaction, that this matter has at last been brought to light, anl to public considora.ion. He feels rejoiced < iivvrassi Clay otte copy, and reserving another for their own use.’’ Tho original convfcrsation referred to, and the abovo extract of a letter from Mr. Ilovcrly at Whboling, dated 25th of May, are presented to show that I have not, as is charged, “placed mysolf in tho tho attitude of a public accuser,” and that whatever publicity has boon given to this transaction, has arisen from no agency or procurement' of mino; aud that Mr. Clay, in fact, has himself hold tho matter jjp to public gaze. In doing this, he should have quoted what I had written accurately nnd fairly; for then, tho text and his commentary w'nuld have suited together; at present, his contradiction is a something suggested by himself, and is hot contained in my letter. The statement contained in my letter to Air. Beverly is this; that, in January, 1825, a mem ber of cougross, of high rcspoctabibty, visited me ono morning and observed—“be had been informed by tho frionds of Mr. Clay, that the friends of ’Mr. Adams bad m ide overtures to them, saying, if Mr, Clay and Irs friends would unito in aid of the election of Mr. Adams, Mr. Clay tbotlkLbo Secretary oi State; that tho friends of Air. Adams were urging, a rca-ou to induce tho friends ol Mr. C 'JM BLANK DEEDS, For sale at the Telegraph Office. “that a specific accusation by a responsible ac cuser Ins at length appeared.” To this a pass ing notice is due. It must bo rccollocted, th4t, in consequence of a letter from Air George Kremor in J mu ry, 1825, nil inquiry was sot on foot in Con gress upon tho application of Air. Clay him self. On this momoreblo occasion, of guilt imput ed on tlm one hand, ami innocence maintdinea on the other, Mr. M’Dufiio, it will be recollect ed, submitted for consideration to the lloii'S of Representatives, ns matter, of instruction to tile committee, tlio following resolution: “That the said committee bo instruemd to inquuo whether tho fricmls of Mr. Clay have hinted, that thoy would fight for thoso who would pay best, or any thing to ill it effect; ana whether overtures wore said have been mule by tbo friends of Mr. Adams to tho friends of Mr. Clay, offering tho. appointment of Secretary of Statolor his aid to elect Adams; an ! whether' tho friends of Clay gavo lies inform ition to live friends of Jucksou and hmfod that t bis trieti l* would offer tho samp price they would c^o to w,.i* them; nnd whether Henry Clay lias transfer red, or resolved to transfer, his [merest to J.,bn Q.
