"sa mf T VRSiOItOI -JII: SATURDAY. JANUARY 20. 1844. FOR GOVERNOR, Col. .m churl Hoke, of Lincoln. Speech of Afr. Toole. We invite the attention of our readers to the speech of Mr. Toole delivered in a Democratic meeting, in Washington, which vvill be found on our first page It is by far, the most eloquent appeal to the Democratic prrty we have yet seen. The bold and unprincipled character of the great Whig leader, Mr. Clay the strength and influence of the aristocratic interests, which are banded in his support and on ihe other hand the necessity for the most perfect union and harmony in the ranks of The Democracy, are delineated in a master ly manner. The exhortation to his party to discard preieieuce for men, and for the sake of their principles, to rally as one man on the nominee of the Baltimore Convention, is replete with a force and pathos, which, while they thrilled the hearer, evinced the heart-felt sincerity of the speaker. Mr. Toole, it will be remembered is one of Mr. Calhoun's warmest admirers, and we therefore hail his speech as one of the many signs of the disappointment, to which the Whigs, who so fondly calculated t)n our divisions, are destined. We must not permit the occasion to pass however, without taking issue with Mr. Toole on thai pottion of his exordium, in which he seems to attribute the defeat of Mr. Van Burcu in 1640, to the mummeries of the Whig. We are not of those who for base and selfish purposes, profess to believe in the infallibility of the people so far from it, experience has fully satisfied us, thit they t ften err, and we are free to admit, that the election of 1840, was the most signal and glaring instance of popular mistake, that has come under our observation. Hut ble in their own com them relief, if they would intrust the reins of government to their hands. At all events said the Whigs the state of affairs is as b id as it can be matters cannot be ren dered worse, by putting us in power Ivt us therefore, have a change! Bv such arguments and such promises a sufficient number of the producing class es, the natural friends and allies of Democ racy, were won to the Whig cause, to en sure its success and hence the defeat of Mr Van Buren. We know, that this reasoning implies a deplorable popular weakness but it is a weakness which belongs to human nature a weakness, which alas! it is lobe feared, will too often be used to subserve the pur poses of wicked and designing politicians I Jut thank heaven! already has the "so her second thought" of those who were thus deceived, only to be betrayed, convin ced them of their error and they may now he seen as heretofore standing by their arms in the ranks of Democracy, ready and pan ting to b Utle for the constitution and their country. Air. Cling man again. Several weeks ago we took occasion to animadvert upon the course of the Hon. T. L- Clingman of the Mountain District, in voting with Adams, Gidding & Co., rank abolitionists, to rescind the 24th (formerly the 21st) Rule, winch our reiders know ex cludes the reception of abolition petitions. We denounced him as a renegade to the South and as recreant to the interests of his constituents. This gentleman has recently had the floor again on the same question, and has enclosed us the National Intelli gencer containing his icmarks. It seems that our friendly missive has had but little effect in mending either his manners or his principles. He pronounces our article 'slang, " says he "does not care" for such attacks anil intimates pretty plainly, we think, his intention to pursue his own sug gestions. regardless of the interest of his constituency. We have neither time nor inclination to enter into a controversj' with Mr. Clingman on this subject. It is one which public sentiment has settled at the South and we think rightly and he who hesitates, in his Representative character, to carry out that sentiment, is doomed he who "doubts is damned " Mr. Clingman mar effect a stm'cal indifference to public W. pro-eim prospec.ive, be ce bd ..pejuWIy one whioh vveied 61 pound. A j opinion on this vital question he may we hare always believed and s'iil think, sport with the interests of his constituents, that the result of that election was to be at- he may become the Congressional Bobadil, tributed more to the pecuniary embarrass-' if he chooses, and like Edward Stanly iiients of the people, than to all other cau-j(whom his constituents have crushed to the tes put together.

We make the following comments on Gov'r Morehead's administration and his country was prostrated from its centie 'o bearing towards the Democratic party, its circumference. Mr. Van Buren like a wise statesman, instead of resorting to quack remedies, which would have had the effect speedily to set the commerce of the country on its legs again, only to be knocked down a second time, preferred to leave the cure, with such aid as sound leg islation might afford tbem, to the more tr dy but eff ctual operation of the natural laws of trade, knowing that relief thus oh tained would be healthy and permanent. It followed that in 1840, the country Ihough gradually recovering, was still suf fering under the effects of the revulsion and even now, it has not fully recovered. Thus matters stood, when Mr. Van Bu ren was brought forward for re election. unfortunately lor the cause of sound princi ples, not enly the non-producing classes, who constitute the main body of ihe Whigs, but a large proportion of the produ cing classes also, who are generally the supporters of Democracy, had become in volved in the ruin consequent on the rage for speculation, which like a tornado had . swept over the land. . The Whigs, well knowing the proneness of mankind to endeavor to fix upon others, the responsibility of the difficulties they have brought on themselves, and that no arguments ar e so convincing as those which operate on the pocket nerve, took ad van tage of the distresses of the people, to per suade them that the mal-auministration ol Mr. Van Buren had been the cause and the isole cause of their misfortunes, a term implying the absence of any thing censura without an) apology. We have ;dl all due respect for the high officeis of ihe Govern ment, be they Wings or Democrats; but a still higher respect for the people, the great source of their power, just ifies and demands a severe scrutiny into iheir conduct. And there is no fairer field of criticism than a comparison of performance, with prior pledges and promises. The Whig warfare on the Editor of the Raleigh Standard, we first regarded as a personal controversy, an attack on men not measures, and such a contest should be left to the taste and abilities of the combatants. But, if the Standard Editor stands really as low with the Whigs as they represent, they act inconsistent in complimenting him with such constant and extraordinary notice; and in the conflict any candid ob- erver will admit, that ihey have received as severe blows from him as they them selves have inflicted. Their darts have been hurled back with true and deadly- aim, nut wnen the uoverner ot me state enters the arena, and becomes one of tho Whig gladiators to assail a gallant knight who is contending single-handed with a host, ami bringing into the conflict the in fluence of executive pjtionage, it assumss a new aspect. 'Tis an insidious aitack on the principles and party of which he is one of the advocates and organs, and we claim the right to expose it. When J no. M. Morehead ascended to the Chair of State, doubting the permanen cy of the Harrison excitement in which he rode into power, and having another term and good will," great veneration of popn lar power, and a solemn declaration to dis charge his office faithfully and impartially In his own words, "to be the Governor of the State and not of a party." Such high and uncalled for promises savored too strong of the demagogue not to raise stispi cion. The general disregard of the W big for their promises, and the recollection ol the remark of a noble Roman, -that there was a remarkable difference in the prof eft sionsof a candidate seeking popular favor. and in the practice of the same individual in powei," prompted our suspicions. Time rolled on. His administration at fi st mild and conciliatory. The second election came on, and with his no party declara tion fresh in the people's mind he was re elected, but with a diminished majority. He is hardly warm in his seat before the Legislature assembles, and now when he can be no longer held responsible at the bar of the people, he shows the deceit and cunning of his nature; no longer Candidate Morehead but Governor Morehead, safely in his seat, no favors to ask, the voice of the people never reaches his ear but ihro' the Federal parasites that surround him But he has seen Mr. Badger, conversed with him, heard him develop his sjstem of policy, hung with rapture on his lips as he discoursed on the "incapacity of tho peo ple for self-government." He has also learned a little aristocracy. Raised among the plain population of Guilford, he was essentially green in the walks of aristocrat ic life. In his amazement wonders how these Raleigh politicians with such priuci pies or notions ever came to hold the desti nies of the State in their hands. Wonders how he himself ever entertained such hereti c d dogmas as popular sovereignty, or omni potence of majorities. The scales fall Irom his eyes, and he rouses himself from the simple delusions of his youth. The more he sees of Mr. Badger the more he ad mires him. His systems of policy ate grand, his aristocracy sublime. He doffs the popular gown hanging so lojsely around, and the impartial and conciliatory candidate sinks into the unscrupulous par-tizin. Accordingly his messie is transmitted to the Legislature, in which magnificence. extravagance, and the vain grasps at simi lar ethereal elements compose this mighty fabric of statesmanship- such a lecture loes he read to the President and Congress men at Washington, about Banks, tariffs, listribulions, rail roads, turnpikes, as il in lis Gulliverean travels he had "headed the Captain" and usurped his seat. During his electioneering campaign he had re.ailed till he learnt by-heart, the notorious Ogle peech on Presidential furniture, gold poons, etc. And to show his proficiency under his grcit master, he sent forth to the gentleman informs us that he recently wok from the garden of Edwin G Spatght. Esq. of Greene county, a turnip weighing twelve pounds. If this is beaten, o t in formant says he will try again, as he thinks he can get one that wiil weigh over fiiieen pounds Congress In the Senate, on ihe Sdi inst a resolution in relat on to Oregon be ing op.
