Some years since, whilst Mr. Van Burns was Vice-President, Mr. Clay was dining with him, and a number of other distinguished gentlemen, at Washington Citj The topis, of conversation, was the then composition of the British and French Ministry. Some cme remarked, that it Was a singular fact, that the interests of the Uni ted States had always been more highly favored by Great Britain and France, when they had Tory Administrations, than whed they had Whig Min isters. All assented to the troth of the remark including Mr. Van Bubrn. Upon which" 'Mr. Clay good-humoredly proposed the following Toast : " May there always be a Tory Administration in England and France, and a Whig Administra tion in the United States." The Whigs of North Carolina have opened the war upon Mi V-'Buren,Jand we tell them in return that they need not expect any quarters for Mr. Clay. His whole career shall be exposed, and we intend to show, before the contest is over, that he is unfitted, both in his public character and by his private conduct, to administer the af fairs of this government. Let the calumniators of Mr. Van Buren come on. They shall have bolt for bolt, arrow for arrow, blow for blow. Standard. Were we capable of descending to low vitu peration and gross abuse, without giving any ar. gument in defence of the Whig cause, we might, perhaps, have cause to fear the Herculean "bluwj" with which the "Standard" threatens the Whig party.

We eught to have noticed before, the splen- tid National Flag, and Liberty Pole, which were fb much admired on Mr. Clay's recent visit. iVe aro wholly indebted, we believe, for these ppropriate emblems for a Whig gathering, to the nergy of that hard-working, never tiring Whig, Idmund B. Freeman, Esq. who does more in the ause, and tays less about it, than almost any Bther member of our party. The Liberty Pole till stands, and the Flag is placed conveniently, nd we hope, on each recVring Whig victory, hat it will be thrown to the " wild winds free," " In triumph to wsve, O'sr tbS hd of ths tree, and homt ol ths brav." " - THE LADlfA GOD BLESS THEM." It is computed, ihJt there were from seven ndred to a thousand L'es in attendance, on jL delivery of Mr. Clay's Speech, on the 13th list, and by none was it more eninusiasu. heered than by tbein. KT We are authorized and requested to say, liat the statement in the last "Standard, tnat llr. Bbownlow was replied to at Greensboro,' y a Dr. Weight, is altogether untrue. We are also authorized to state that the intor-' ation given to the Editor is incorrect, relative o a vote in me oars iur rraiucni .......j hat is, if the Editor means to apply the atate- nent to the Cars that Mr. Clay came in.

O" The u Standard" is always harping upon the Whigs as denominating themselves "all the iecsncv;" and complaining that the Whig press should use epithets, however just, yet somewhat harsh, in relation to the Loco Eoco party- Every thing lliat a Whig inys against a Locofoco, is termed " abuse." though it be true as holy writ ; yot when he speaks of a Whig as a M rowdy and a blackguard," calling bira " filthy" and "pro fane," it is all rightall in accordance with the rules of gentility as laid down by Lord Chester, field. Truly, we have never seen a stronger ex- Amplification of the "gored bull," than the Editor of Um Standard presents. THE VIRGINIA ELECTION.

We believe our cause to be just the cause of our common country--and in de fence of that cause, we are anxious to have facts submitted " to a candid world." We have no fear of his threat of exposition, that Mr. Clay ''is unfitted, both in his public character and by his private conduct, to administer the affairs of this Government." All we ask of the "Standard" is, to tell nothing but the truth in relation to our noble chieftain and the Whig cause, and we will fee) ourselves in no danger from his " bolts" and his "arrows." CONNECTICUT. The election of members of the House of Re presentatives is now complete, and shows the fol lowing result : The number of Whigs elected to the House is 101 ; and of Locofocos 84.

Theoppon?ntsof the present WHIG TARIFF were beaten on Monday in an attempt to go into Committee of the Whole on the state of the U nion. with a view to lake up Mr. McKay's Tariff Bill, eleven votes ; the yeas being 94, nays 95. This may be considered as settling the question, at least, for the present probably for the session. Every Whig, save one, Mr. Chappell, of Georgia, voted in the negative, and stood by the present Tariff. JUDGE ELLIOTT CONVICTED. The intelligence we publish to-day, of the con viction of Judge Elliott, of New Orleans, set tles the question as to the frauds practised by the Locofocos at the late elections in that City, by which they were enabled to return two mem bers to Congress, elect a Senator, and the Mayor of the City.

The ground was covered with hail stones soms of them about the sixe of a hen's egg. Very great jnjury was done to the windows of the houses, to the vegetables in the gardens, and the young fruit la the orchards. Mr Utilities insisted that be was not driven! into the supjtorl of internal improvements by the lijrht of any fcicofoco match. All the argument I that he had heard was that Gen. Jackson was m lavor of internal improvements, ergo they wore constitutional. n"r i Mr. Douglass again came to the contest, and I was talking about Gen.

The National Intelligencer, New York American, New York Commercial Advertiser, and Boston Atlas the peculiar organs of Mr. Webster are simultane ously and systematically assaulting Mr. Tyler, They pretend to expose the President's secret mo tives for all his official acts; they attributed him the most corrupt designs imaginable, and villify him without stint.

We may bo able to prove that Mr. W. desired to wield the whole patronage of the Government oainji Mr. Clay; that while professing friendship for the President, be was attacking, him in-tbe newspapers ; that less than a year ago, be was willing to support a nnnrrai for President, who was in favor of "an- nexation," and that his tttond choice was the dii tinnoished Judire Mc , who is understood to be opposed to annexation.

The address was a moat interesting one, engndiuij the careful attention, and eliciiuig the smiles occasionally of the whole assembly.
