VaTORDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1844. TOR GOVERNOR, Col. Michael IMokc, of Lincoln. (J-VVe invite the attention of our read ers to the Speeches of Messrs. Saundcr and Brown on the 21s. Rule, publMied on the first page of ocr paper. This question is aiming; a fearful import and the whole South, in the language of Mr Ritchie, will h ive to come lo the rescue." The Election of Governor. The candidates aie now fairly before thf people. The press are canvassing their merits and demeiits; the people are prepa ring to choose ht tween To!. Hoke, and Mr Graham; and ate revolving in their minds. whether they will, again try the Federal VVhig rulers, who have alieady impover ished the treasury, run the State in debt, leaving nothing to show for the squandered millions of money, save a few worse than profitless rail roads; or ietore t pow. r that paity who in leaving olhce lelt a full treasury, and a prospt ions and fl )uiishing State. The contest win, uououess. "c warm; especially on the part of the Whigs Even now they are giving manife-t dhms 'II I 1.1 K.. of uneasiness; for they know their p.l-ti- . ral ascendency res's on a pi ac inous tmin dation, and that Federalism must go down in Noith Carolina ifth-y are unsuccessful in the next elections. They know, too. in Col. Hoke they have a formidable oppo nent; one who will expose their trea chery, the errors of their past legisla tion, the manner and means by which ihe have ruined ihousands and disgraced ihe nation. Of his moral worth, integrity and emi nent ability it seems his opponent" can find no fault. For after scrutinizing I is whole life, the only objections lo him, (his repub Jicanism and democracy excepted) aie two; that he is so very popular there is danger of some x)f the Whig voting for him thai he solicited the nomination which all wan ted him to have, and which was tendered . with a unanimity unprecedented in these times ofoffice seeking. As to his popular ity and the people's fondness for him we can make no apology; and as to seeking the nomination he sought it by merit, b high minded conduct, by pairitism by conducting himself in such niaunerasto gain public esteem and confidence, and hy show ing himself equal to the performance of Mich duties as his feilow citizens might ;.s sign him just as any honorable m;m would in el ving his country. So far from soliciting it, he instructed his friends ol Lincoln to withdraw his nan e if any other should he pi een'ed. For many years past he has been a mem ber of the State Legislature, dming which time he did credit to himself, and n fleeted honor on his party. On several occasions he rendered signal service to ti e State, and whether in the majority or minority, he ai all limes advocated such measures as are! calculated to secure honest men in the en joyment of the fruits of their honest indus try, and opposed those which have a ten lency to convert our nation into a gam bling shop, in which knaveiy would b excellence and swindling greauiess. He h is never advocated a bank to give the control of our government to a few capitalists; to give a fictitious value to currency, run soci ety mad with schemes of reckless specula tion, seduce men from avocations produc tive of competency and wealth, run ihem in debt.Si sacrifice their property lo lawles & unrighteous gain has favored no bankrupt taws to make a legal currency of swearing. and to pay debts justly owing for the poor nans labor by kissing a Bible in a Court House no distribution to raise taxes, nor tariff" to compel the South to labor for the North, to diminish the price f ihe faimer's labor, destroy commerce, throw our vessels out of employ ment, our seamen into star vation, and our star-spangled banner into a consignation of nothingness. Col. Hoke is emphatically the man for the people, has always acknowledged their aovereignty, and their capability to use it in self government; and in legislation his votes have carried out his theory. He was for giving the election of Governor to the people, because it rightly belonged to them; his opponent, Mr. Graham, wanted the power to be exercised by the LegMa ture and now asks the people, the people competent to the choice, to choose him. The several subordinate offices, the fulfil ment of which in theory belonged to the neonle. but in practice to other hands, Mr M vniPd to their appropriate and proper place. Thus has he always shown himself I ..... uost nnlitieian. and the friend of our Republican institutions. fTpThe Editor of the North State iVhiw c booses to represent us, as giving Jr. TYwV'a rap on the knuckles" in an ,n in which we ventured to combat what we supposed to be an intimation on Mined in that gentleman's sp ech, that the Whin succeeded in 140, hy reason of the disgraceful mommeiies to which they de s. en.le.l, or to use the language oi some, o. their parly -stooped in order to conquer." What he intends by a "rap on the knuc kles" we neiilvr know nor care hut if he designs to insinuate, that we expressed our opinion in any other than a respectful ami friendly spirit, we beg leve to sy, that the feting which prompted such a constrnc'ion of our at tide, must have bten very nearly allied to thai which induced him. just after Mr. .irringtons nomina tion by the district Convention lasi spring, to make an effort to produce a schism in our ranks, by an affect at ion of sympathy for Mr. Toole and h s friends. Willi what success he then met the re sult proved; and ve had supposed the scorn wiih uhi'-h his insidious offices were spur ned by Mr. Toole and his friends, would have deterred him from unv similar at- . c iemt. for the fiimic. We should not have noticed the s'lic lurps of the "Whig" but for the opportu nity it iives us of offering the feeble trib ute "four praise to the lofty patriotism, which led those gentlemen on the occasion leeneil to, to sacr ifce their personal feel ings on the a!tar ol their country. "Hy thp vay, has the Press yet corrected its false statement cinicertiinr the Whiir meeiintr in W aliinglon couniy! We ask fr iiit'oruiatioiii Sorth Stute Whig. We answer this question in ihe true' i yaukee style Did the K-litor ol ihe Whig ever correct i its false statement" in re g ird to Dr. Hall's vote on the Tariff of '32? We must hang together' Mr. Toole's Speech Yes, or we shall be hung separately. "That Hole." Thanks to the Commissioners for their timely interference. We breathe more ficely when we pa-s that way. It don't look so "dangersome" now. Let them go on in the good work. Extract from a letter dated University of A C. Jan. 2st, KM 4 I am indebted to your kindness for the(lale.

The Standard" was particular ly liable to this imputation, before it pass ed into ihe hands of its present Editor. We are however improving in this respect. The "Signal," under the management of the accomplished Dusbee, is doing good execution; and it is vain for the Whigs to deny that the Register, the Court Journal and lepn sentative of the aristocracy about Raleigh, coders beneath the well-ilirccied blows of the Aj x Telamon of the Stand ard. 1 hrai tily wish the new Editor success in his undertaking.

This is college talk, and I do not vouch for its accuracy.

The Snow Sprite. The weather has been as capricious of late as the most sentimental ol our town ladies. Last Sunday was a bright and glorious day, but rather breezy the morn iug was fair and clear not a cloud 11 latnl in the blue field of ether which nveihang this nether world; but before the hour o' twelve, the sky was overcast and die sin descended beautifully. The next morning brought with it the same glorious sun. which caused the snow to disappear rapid ly. Tuesday morning rose upon us again in all its snowy splendor. The old lady was "picking her geese" this time in ear nest the little children laughed the boys whooped, and the ladies' eyes spirkled more brightly at the prospect of a stay ride. But alas! how vain is all human calculation. Ere the hour of ten the sun was out in all his dazzling effulgence and the slay ride, by unanimous consent, was indefinitely postponed Congress.
