Mr. Kara contended for no such doctrine. Thel "Greens boro' Patriot" denies the truth of the charge. and we expect, in due time, to adduce other proof.

The Election for Governor and Members of the Legislature will take place on Thursday, Ihe ffik of Input Our Whig friends see that they have but about Twenty days to work before the election will be upon us. Is it necessary that we should again appeal to them to put forth their whole energies in the cause during this short pen? They were defeated in 1850 by the lukewarmness and dissensions which existed in the Whig ranks. We all know the mortification which all true Whigs felt when the news of de feat reached them, and we do not believe there was Whig in any part of the State who did not resolve to exert himself, with redoubled rigor and seal rather than this should again occur. We have repeatedly appealed to our friends -to omaxizk in each and every County in the State. The process is e'aay and simple requiring noth- ing but promptness and energy, and information as to the names and residences of the leading Whigs of each County. Let arrangements be made by which every Whig voter may attend the polls. If there be any sick and infirm, let their brother Whigs of the neighborhood furnish them such means as they may need, to attend the polls and exercise the privilege of voting. The locofoco Party know well they cannot defeat us if our full strength is polled. They rely upon our lukewarmness and want of efficient organi tation. There is full time to remedy any diffi culty on this score, and we urge upon our friends IMMEDIATE, FaOMPT AKD XNXaOITIC ACTIOS They should bear in mind that every thing will be done by the locofoco party to carry the State They have already resorted to caniiingly devised falsehoods, to defeat Johh Kxaa, and Whigs in all sections of the State may look out for a new set of such falsehoods each succeeding week and particularly on the day of election.

Let it be remembered that the Constitution of the State was intended to be a safeguard of the rights and liberties of the People. It is a check upon, defines and limits the power of the Gen eral Assembly. If this body is permitted to make both the law and the Constitution, is it not making null for all valuable- purposes, one of those rights which were declared to be vested in the People and the People only t It may be an swered that no amendment can be incorporated into the Constitution, without the ratification of the People. But there is a great differencebe- tweea the power to originate and the mere right of ratification or confirmation. If each succeed ing Legislature is to become the advisers of the PxorLE under that clause which gives that body the right to originate amendments, then will the People be subjected to incessant excitement in reference to their fundamental law, and forced by the. apprehension of such excitement to adopt amendments which are unwise and which they themselves would never have originated. It is a reflection on popular integrity and intelligence to say that the Peoflb have sense enough to pass on what the Assembly have proposed to them, but that they are not fit to judge of what they want cannot be trusted with the power of theif own guardianship. If the power, to originate, through m Convention, whenever they desire them, mendmentsto their Constitution, is taken from the People, then it is no longer true that UU political power is vested in and derived from the Feotle only" anj when our Bill of Rights thus declares, it asserts what is made by this doctrine of Legislative amendments a practical absurdity and a falsehood. We go for the right of the Peoflb to govern according to the forma of the Constitution, and, when their voice and wish are known beyond doubt, then that voice and that wish should be respected and carried out by the Legislature.

I r j r-r ihowinj. reasons for preference of Mr. Fili We have heretofore had the best of reasons for refusing all credit to W. B. W's despatches, and the apology which he now publicly renders for making false affirmations shows such a reck less disregard of truth, that no man in the fu- ture can trust a word on the wires endorsed by him. Hear him : "Gentlemen are at all times forced to give facts or the publio belief, without stating any details connected with them -for words sent on the wires cost publishers dollars." Wires, then, are the harmless vehicles of false hood. The Editors are not responsible, because. to tell the truth would cost them dollars. The communicator of the falsehood is not responsi ble, because it is his duty to save the dollars, even at the expense of the truth. Well, it is more than probable that the telegraphic correspon dent of the ''Standard" has got into a vocation 1 that will agree with both his morals and man ners. But such apology does injustice to the iron messenger. There is no need of making it the vehicle of falsities. If rumors are afloat, and it is desired to let a distant portion of the country j know of their existence, it costs just four cents to preface the Despatch by saying, "rumored that." Those who prefer the rumor to be stated as a fact, rather than pay such a sum, are care less of the truth and prefer falsehood to truth. The public, hereafter, will know what reliance to place in the despatches of the 'Standard,' since we are unbhuhingly told that they assume one or the other form of a fact known or rumor reported, according as it may be cheaper or dearer. It is amusing to us, aad would have been hu miliating to any other than VV . B. "W., to hear him state that Mr. Clay did dictate such aa ar ticle as he refers to before his death, and to add : "If the Editor of the "Register" doubts, let him write to Mr. Marshall, get the rough notes and publish them." Aware that no cred it can be given to what he says, unless he may have his witness ready, he names him. Now, we venture that he even stated this matter on rumor, although it was perfectly convenient to ask Mr. Marshall himself 1 Being thus conscious that his statements re quire corroboration, we think it his own busi ness to look after the proofs. What he may say has ceased to inspire in our mind enough cred it to put us on the inquiry.

The Ninth-Ward Lundy's Lane Club held its regular meeting last night, at the Bleecker-street House, and was addressed eloquently and ably by Hon. F. A. Tallmadoe ; who spoke of the general position and principles of the Whig par ty anu 01 tne prospects 01 its buccoss. An tne course of his remarks he made a very interesting and important statement in regard to the posi tion and sentiments of Mr. Webstee, which will be read just now with very general satisfaction. He said he had seen Mr. Webstee during the day, and had conversed with him freely upon the nomination and prospects of the Whig party. Mr. Webstee in that conversation acknowledged gratefully the attachment and devotion which nis friends had exhibited, both in the National Covention and since the nomination had been made. But he said he did not see how any good result could bo attained by presenting his name any further to the country, and that one com mon duty now devoted upon us all, that, name ly, of tallying to the support of the Candidate regularly nominated by the representatives of Whigs of the Union, in Convention assembled. For nis own part he was ready to give the Whig ticket his cordial support, and so he trusted were Whigs everywhere, whatever might have been their personal predilections. Ihese remarks were received with loud ap plause; they seem to put an effectualextinguisher upon the rumors recently circulated with so much industry, that Mr. Webster had consen ted to accept the Matave American nomination, and would not support the Whig ticket.

These nominations received my cor dial assent, as they will my seakras support. 1 have been on terms of friendly intercourse with Gen. Scott for twenty yaers, and esteem him forhis spotless character, and his frank, manly, and courteous bearing. I respect him for talents often severely tested, but which never failed him under the most trying circumstances ; and I ad mire him for his military services, by which the i character of his country has been elevated at home and abroad, and been equalled by those of no man living or dead since the days of the Revolution. He has freely shed his blood in maintaining the honor of his country and her rights. His patriotic devotion to the Union, conservative principles, and firm support of the Compromise measures, cannot, in my belief, be questioned without doing him great wrong and injustice. Mr. Ueabam is wholly unexceptionable, be ing respected for his talents and esteemed for his virtues by all who know him. Entcrtaising these opinions of the candidates of the Whig National Convention, and' being fully and willingly committed to their support, I am constrained most respectfuUr to decline the nomination of the American National Con vention.
