TARKOUOUGII:
. SATURDAY, APRIL 13, 1844.
TOR GOVERNOR,
Col. Jlicliacl Hoke, of Lincoln,
Mr. Clay at Raleigh.
It is liughable to see the present state of
things in Raleigh preparatory to the recep
lion of Henry Clay, and one would readily
nnnn that no citizen of the 'CiV ol
Oaks," had ever before seen a great man
and that it was their "first, last and only"
chance of abasing themselves in reverence
before the Political Mahomet. Man wor
ship rules lhe hour; and all ihe occupation
of life are monopolized by the ruling pas
sion to render homage 'to the great Co
jossus that uoih hesinde their narrow
world, and they like petty men walk un
der his huge legs and peep about."
Men, women & children with outs' retche
necks and peering eyes only speak, to ask
when, where and how, doih he come; and
throng the avenues with rustic gaze to
greet the Grand Entree of the mighty me
nagerie.
,The orders of the day have not yel been
set forth, but the following will constitute
the principal features of lhe Programme.
George E. Badger, Grand Marshal of
the day and C hief Orator, will, exactly at
the right time and place, deliver that
speech, " all about that aforesaid period of
1824 and 1825, .showing satiisfactonly that,
receiving no appointment from General
Jackson, for services rendered, has entirely
eradicated from his mind, those damnable
suspicions of "Bargain and corruption
which he then so firmly fastened on Mr.
Clay. And that his taste for "hard cider
even sucked through a straw" was fully
explained in his Granville speech. And
that his denunciation of a Bank in thai
speech, as a part of lhe Whig creed, was
only intended for Old Tippecanoe who
was anti-Bank and not Mr. Clay who was
Bank. Ergo.. Mutatis mutandis.
Governor Morehead, being rather ver
dant in these grand doings, will invaria
ble keep one eye on Mr. Badger for direc
tion, and will in no event allude to his be
ing an anti-Clay elector during the "afore
said period."
Richard Hines, chairman of Central
Committee with all his palaver, will not
fay upon what ground he canvassed for a
seat in Congress as a Jackson man during
the "aforesaid period."
William Boylan, Eq , will inform Mr
Clay that during that "aforesaid period,"
he acted as committee to receive and enter
tain Van Buren and Cambieleng in Rd
eigh, for their supposed opposition to him
then "in the line of safe precedents. " And
how it happens he is now entertaining Mr.
Clay in opposition to Van, he neither
in that "aforesaid period? by Mr. Man
gum, but as his file-leader has safely turned
all the sharp corners by repealed recogni
tions of his wrongs, hopes Mr. Man
gum's "old cloak" may also cover his sins.
Thomas J Lemay during the "aforesaid
period" edited the leading Jackson -paper
in Raleigh, which was the vehicle of every
abuse, charge, and "suspicion," which was
uttered against Mr. Clay. But he is now
faithfully engaged in the task of discredit
ing himself, and although such a witness
would not be heard in a court of justice,
Mr. Clay can appreciate their influence in
the political arena.
Charles Manly alss acted his part in the
scenes of the "aforesaid period," but hope?
his brother D ulley has explained it at Wil
mington to Mr. Clay, as he was in the
ame box,
A very bully looking personage wa
then introduced to Mr. Clay as Mr. John
Buffaloe your name is sufficient, instantly
replied Mr. Clay.
Henry W. Miller will listen attentively
io Mr. Clay's speech and "roll his eyes
like a duck in a thunder storm," and when
he sees in the comments of the Register
the same epithets of praise and compli
ments with whiih he formerly described
his own speeches, will declare he is as
great a man as Mr. Clay; and ifheaint,
the Register can't tell the difference.
Weston R. Gales, Editor of ihe Register,
will take the first private opportunity to
whisper to Mr. Clay, that he is the only
one in all that group of sycophants and
idolaiors, who supported him through good
and evil report, during that "aforesaid pe
riod;" and that he fot-ght single handed
for him, while the others vveie proclaiming
the coalition of the "Puritan and the Black
le."
The corps of Flying Artillery composed
of Tag, Rag, and Bob, will be stationed up
the various roads leading to the city to con
duct the various meuagt rtes of whig, and
more particularly the delegation Iroin the
Dismal Swamp, to their various camp
grounds; furnish them with wood," put
hem on their good behaviur, and caution
them not to intrude into a whig parlor in
the city.
Mr. Clay rose to speak he confessed
some embarrassment, for he had never be
lore witnessed such a crowd of iucouMatent
politicians, who had evinced such disregard
to the public & private character of niinseli;
but otieied them the imitation and consola
tion of his own example in Mjpporiing Mr.
Adams alter similar denunciations, lie
was him&ell apt at a bargain compromise
had ever been his lone, lie had compro
mised both men and principle., and these
things were mere li i(Ls to the big and little
puises we are contending lor. In fact a
luudainenlal change is wrought over the
lace of nature. 1 lie coon, lhe bear, and
the buffiloe, were in the ascendant he
was likely to receive that acquittal from
the hands of animals which hau been de-
knows nor cares, as he hinu-elf still lives nied by men, verily ing the observation ol
in the same house in spite of the changes
of men or seasons.
Maj. Gen. Grimke Crensbaw will ap
pear in full uniform. Be careful General
lest you horrify Mr. Ctay with the sight
of a "military chieftain," and draw from
him a renewed blast of "War, pestilence
and famine," upon these actors in the
'aforesaid period."
. Col. John of the militia, accomplished
in elegant buffooneries, will exhibit some
rare feats of the ribbed nosed order.
While others are enacting the high game
he will certainly play Low Jack, and sat
isfy Mr. Clay that Raleigh has a successful
rival of Bear the blacksmith & the pump
borer. Christopher Columbus will announce
himself "the Blunderbuss of Whiggery,"
and will march in the procession at the
head of his committee of investigation into
the mysterie of Bargain and corruption,
proclaiming Whig creeds and shouting ho
zannas. And the mighty army of office
seekers present will join in the chorus
"Where shall 1 go
The venerable Secretary of State will
appear as father Grimes,
"With his old blue coat all buttoned
down before."
The Comptroller will rest his claim sole
ly on the fact of cutting down the first sap
ling for the Log Cabin.
Governor Iredell will confrssthsl he was
in the original panel of that "aforesiid pe
riod," who rendered the verdict of guilty
on the sins of Mr. Clay's bargain and cor
ruption; but now pleads the statute of lim
Uitioiiin bar of judgment.
philosophers that instinct was more power
lul than reason and when he surveyed
the office-seeking physiognomies around,
he fell somewnal secure in ihe sincerity ot
their present prolessions. Gentlemen,
there must be no express "bargain," for
the trees have. e)ts aau lhe walls have ears;
but the understanding is, that I am to be
the first, last, and only choice lor Presi
dent," and each of you to be "in the line
ol safe precedents" for some f.l office. (A
perfect Babel uproar of all lhe voices ol the
woods and the swamps. )
Party Nicknames.
We copy the following article from the
Raleigh Register, to show the low tricks of
the party. A genuine growl of old coon.
l is not the sentiments of a fair and high-
minded opponent, but an emanation of liar
rystocracy, caught from association with
ihe Bear and the Pumpborer.
LOCO F0 OlSM.
We like Fome of our Loco Foco breth
ren, personally, a great deal belt r ihan we
like some Whigs but we cannot call them
Democrats." It is the grossest abuse,
and most false application of language.
What claim have they to Democracy, who
are Ihe only advocates of Monarchy, in the
Veto, and other like powers, and who sur
render every thing to the control of an Oli
garchy. We maintain, and ever shall, that
'he Whigs are the only true Democrats.
We wifh there was not a Whig Press, nor
a WhU mouth in the land, to honor the Lo
cos with the name of Democrats, by
which, so long as it is conceded to them,
ihey deceive the people. Under that name
ihey are 'wolves in sheeps clothing "
This is too spiteful. What a change has
come over our brother Gales, whose portly
ion, and whose, eye sparkled over the.
remembrance of lhe merry bumpers of
friendship to whom enmity seemed a
stranger,- and - blackguardism a foul pollu
lion. What a change has come over the
spirit of his press, his politics, his feelings
His association with the .whig menagerie
has soured his temper and corrupted hi
manners, and he is already a proficient in
their tricks and slang.
After adorning yourself with all the fan
cy names and cast-off finery of every sue
cessful party and faction ab urbe condila
even desecrating to the vile purposes of
party ihe sacred title of whig, which every
American without distinction of party has
inherited from a glorious ancestry; not sat
isfied with decorating yourself wiik the
fastidious taste of a Belle at her glass with
thee meretricious ornaments, you spoi
your pn tty features and fine manners, by
calling us all the hardest nicknames you
can invent or which your vulgar associates
have supplied. You have not forgot the
fact, that blackguardism is the vulgar sub
stiiute of wit; and the use of nicknames is
more descriptive of the feelings which in
vent ihem, ihan the propriety of their ap
plication.
Tne democratic party have ever been
satisfied with their origi lal litle of Repub
licans or Democrats, whirh ihey have
borne through good and evil report; and
the frequent change of name in their oppo
uents, mark them with the same suspicion
which attaches loan impostor who assumes
an alias for every diffeient section he en
ters
The fact is they have failed to impose on
the communiiy by their false name and
high sounding titles. They have bepn bea
ten and exposed, and ihey immediately
seek cover and protection under some new
name; and with the "envy 'ami malice" of
a ceitain bird which attacks and befouls ev
ery neighboring nest, they assail the De
mocrats with abusive and disgusting epi
the's. Now the Editor of the Regis'er, claim
ing to his party all the decency," is ma
king his columns the mouth p:ece of this
blackguardism. He has isued forth the
edict, that we shall henceforth be called not
Democrats but Locofoco. We have never
uttered any tears or regrets about jhn, word
Locofoco, and but that we prefer our own
proper name to any alias or assumed title,
we would have no objection to it. The
word itself has much euphony and means
from its derivation, 'our homes, our fire
sides." But we have conquered the Whigs so of
ten under the name of Democrats, they
dread it, and they covet it. But lis the
principles and not the name which consti
tute the magic of our success. Should
they succeed in fastening on us the term
Locofoco, another campaign will hardly
pass before they will claim that they are
real Locofocos.
But our brother of the Register must
mend his temper and his language, devote
his attention to principles and not nick
names. All this painting and daubing of
the outside, affect not the character or prin
ciples within. He may learn a moral from
the fine writings of Cervantes when the
squire of Don Quixotte was in mockery
and sport clothed in royal attire and told he
wa a Governor, he replied in the simple
honesty of his nature, "clothe me as you
will 1 am Sancho Panza still. "
lhe 26th inst. And Bradshaw Fuller,!
found guilty of passing counterfeit Virgi
nia money, but escaped the lash for some
technicality of law.
Upon these proceeding- the Editor pre
dicates some remarks on the severity if
No. Carolina laws, say ig, that a promis
ing young member of the last Legislature
pronounced 'that No.. Carolina had the
bloodiest code of laws of any State in the
Union."
We are not prepared to admit the truth
of this assertion. As far as we ever heard,
neither "the laws nor the administration of
the laws," have ever been justly charac
terized with such distinction.
There is great fallacy in all these mat
ters of legislating and drawing conclusions
from particular cases. Exceptions of how
ever outrageous nature, will never justify a
deviation in general.
One of the preient Superior Court Judg
es some years ago, while in the Legist
lure, succeeded in ameliorating our laws
punishing bigamy; and during the discus
sion declared, "the No. Carolina laws lik
those of Drtco, were written in blood."
Yet this same Legislator, on the Bench
s.ime years after in Guilford county, hav
ing to sentence a culprit convicted of a
most outrageous c.se of bigamy, regretted
that the law was not severe enough to
meet this case.
Congress Both Houses are principally
engaged with the Army and Navy appro-
pria lion bills.
Connecticut Election The election is
over in Connecticut. There has been no
choirt of Governor by lhe people in a State
:h:U gave Mamson more lhans'x thousand
m ijinity. I he following is believed to be
a correct statement ol the vote:
Baldwin (federalist) 27.137
Cleveland (democrat) 26.GG9
Gillette (abolitionist) 1,512
The federal candidate leads the democrat
ic46S votes, but falls short more, than a
ih'Hisind of having a majority over all.
whieh is rr quned io elect in Connecticut.
I he federalists will, it is thought, have a
unall majority in the Legislature. Hce
is a clear los sinrc IS40 of more than five
housand votes, and yet the Federalists are
bragging over Connecticut elections!

Raleigh Register and the Council.
The Raleigh Standard and the North
Carolinian both contain some severe but
meri'ed s'rictures, on the late article in the
Raleigh Register, assailing the Council for
their conduct in the appointment of Su
preme t 'ourt Judge. & we opine in this case
the Register has caught it a few." If ev
er a man was used up by the indiscretion
of a friend, that man is Judge Badger, at
the hands of his friend and spokesman of
the Register. "Save me from my
friends," as Badger should say to Gales.
By the way it has leaked out in these
strictures, that Weston R. Gales was rejec
ted by this same "Loco Foco council of
bitter partizans," as a member of lhe Lite
rary Board, and that is the source of all
his grief. He is the real martyr, while
Judge Badger is attempted to be made the
gibbet of the sins of the Council and of hi?
own imaginary wrongs.
