(Election on Monday, 4th Nov. 1S44J "7b the Victors belong the Spoils." Whig Principles. The folio wins: are the last Orders from 0 -. the Head Quarters of Coondum in Raleigh The Raleigh Register of the 16th says: ""A Word in Season. We hope that the Whig Members of the Legislature elect, will not commit themselves to the support of any Candidate fur . office who may apply to them for their interest. As a matter of course, and as a mat'er of right and justice, the wrongs inflicted by the last Loco Foco Legislature in the selection of Officers, must be promptly repaired., xot to do so, would expose us to ihe contempt of our opponents even. Rut let the Whigs, in all their movements, act as a party. United we stand divided we fall," is as true now, as it was in the days of the Revolution. Let there be no split ting upon favorite candidates, but let union and harmony be the watchwords. There will be time enough, after the members get to Raleigh, to weigh the merits and claims of all applicants, and decide accordingly But, above all thing's, let every Whig make his arrangements to icach Raleigh, beio . the Houses organize on Monday. Thiv is particularly imperative on each Sen: or, in which body we "have only a majority oUwo." This certainly is a barefaced unblushing exposure of the cloven fool of Whiggery, orrather the who!e"embodiment"of coone Vy. We have before charged and daily experience confirms us in it, that office seeking was the grand motive of whig ac tion and whig principles, the secret of that 'enthusiasm which collects them in crowds to hurra for men, with no regard to princi ples then or heretofore professed. Here is the leading coon organ in Ra leigh, in the very moment of exultation and 'enthusiasm at a whig majority in the Le gislature, with its party instinct crying out! 'save the spoils," don't quarrel among yourselves and endanger a single loaf or: fish. The locos shan't have a bite they are not citizens. . Let us see now the amount of spoils, the fruits of their victory. The r.ext Legisla ture will have to elect a Supreme and Su perior Court Judge, but the democratic Council have already filled them tempora- t rily with the coon3, so there is no spoils. They also have to elect two Solicitors, hut the coons already hold those4places no 'thing there. Rut there are other State officers, a Secretary of State, Treasurer, . and Comptroller but the Democrats of the ' i- legislature, with a magnanimity unknu;vn among the coons, elected the old coon Hill to be Secretary, and that young coon Collins to be Comptroller leaving only poor Wheeler's carcase for all these ravenous coons. Alas! poor Wheeler, with a dignified and heroic confidence did you bow your head and give up the Mint, four years ago, to the office-seeking coons, with the memorable expression "that when your Chief had fallen you asked no quar ters for yourself. " Again are you to be , hunted down, ah, and the only victim to appease the crowded and merciless pack at your heels. All the offices to be filled are already held by the coons, but the single office of Treasurer what a disappoint- ment, what a poor feast for the herd of po litical cannibals! No wonder they should be cautioned in time to keep cool and ami able, lest in' their disappointment they may devour one another. Rut says the Register, don't comrhit yourself before you get to Raleigh; or, in other words, Raleigh must be first sat isfed. Three or four of the Raleigh clique, brimful of whig principles arid whig patriotism, who have heretofore sei . ed on all the little clerkships and fees, and held their several little slallsa round the public granary, must be attended to before the mountain boys or the Nag's head men can be heard. Manly, Miller, and Free man nave a prescriptive right to be first served to any little extra, before another ELECT16N RETURNS. We have at length our election returns complete, with the exception of one coun ty, and that will give a small democratic majority, leaving the whig majority jn the popular vote at 3200, and showing a aemo cralic train of about 1560. So we have progressively reduced the great Harrison majority of 12,000 down to 3200, being a regular gain at every election since; and lis now in our reach by proper exertions to beat them at the Presidential election, and aid in placing Polk and Dal las at the helm of State. The coons, notwithstanding our decided gain in the popular vote, have carried the Legislature Dyajoini majority ui vuics, which is rather singular but is easily ac counted for, if at all mateiial. Rut the whig Legislatures of IS38 and 1S40, have involved the Stale credit, and contracted a State debt, by improperly connecting; the State with bankrupt corporations; and tis right and fair that the whigs themselves should now have the responsibility of pro viding for this debt. Sc on them now de volves the plain duly of repairing their own errors, of protecting the State credit against their own evil legislation; and if they refue cr neglect it, they will find it difficuft to blind the people any longer tc the ruinous consequences of whig legislation. nformation in our power, contains returns 'from all the counties except uates, arm Hyde, and give Graham 35,60S, and lioKe 32,694, leaving majority ior uranam ui 2,914, and putting these two cQunues . what they gave in 1842, Uraham's majun- ty in the State will be 3,03 1. Democratic Electors. The following nominations have made for Electors in this State, viz: Second District Henry J. Toole, been A. W. Vehable, David Reid, Joseph Allison, T). W. Courts, W. J.

On Tuesday, the Court House was per fectly lammed to overflowing, to hear Henry 1. Toole, the Democratic candi date for Elector in this district. I, have loner admired Mr. Toole as one of the C7 . most eloquent and accomplished writers in the Slate, but did not know.that he was so powerful a speaker. His ellort here, it my testimony goes for any thing, certainly gives him place in the first class of popular orators. Without the studied, perhap without the graceful, gestures of the pricti sed actor, Mr. Toole is still one of the most engaging speakers I ever heard. A fine scholar, cf ekten!ve information, ar dent and enthusiastic, and devoted to the Republican cause for i's own sake; his style and manner are less those of the poli tician, than cne who speaks because he can not help it, and fires with his own bpirit, without being aware of it. Mr. Toole was replied to by B. F. Moore, Esq. Mr. M. is known to be one of the ablest champi ons of the federal party in this State; but with all his admitted ability, his defence of whiggery, after Mr. Toole's speech, was an up-hill. tak. The immense lead he carried bore him down, and rendered him unequal to the encounter not that he was weak, but his burden is too heavy. Mr. Toole's rejoinder unanswerably proved this, and on the whole, he hah fully awa kened the spirit of old Nash to the great question at issue, and the responsibility of the position she occupies, as one of the most truly sterling Republican counties in the good old Commonwealth. 1 have no time to sav more at Dresent. Perhaos I f may give a more detailed account of the meeting next week. Mr. Toole is setting a glorious examnle to the Democratic h.- lectoral candidates throughout the Stqte, and authorizes me to challenge his breth ren one and all,.to the same exertions in the cause of Polk, Dallas, and victory, in their respective districts as he is making in this, and to the same success in November. 1 promise in behalf of this county, (and will take a bet on it) that she will be behind no other named one, in the relative increase of ler Republican strength, in November next. In ereat haste. ib. 2978 Cherokee gave Graham 142 majority. and Hyde 220, making his m.ijority in all the counties but Gates (not yet heard from) 3340. Gates will diminish his ma jority to about 3,200. When the vote is complete we shall pub lish it, together with a list of the members elec t of the Legislature. The above table, made up from the best EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE, No. 2. rHot Springs, Bath count jt Va., 7 August 15M, 1844. 5 Tathe Editor of the Press: Mr Editor: 1 begin where I left oft, at the great head quarters of the ton, who frequent these mountains in scores. Whether they are or affect to be the fashionables of the cities, , 1 know hot and care less. They pretend to great things, dress three times a day, walk and talk in such a manner as to throw a plain farmer like myself into conniptions. The fashionable daughter of the millionaire manufacturer of the North, and that of the wealthy nabob of the South, are here to be seen sporting their ay dresses, simpering to the attentions of some moustachioed dandy, or squalling over the piano in such unearthly strains as to forbid all attempts at description. ruch as this is really entertaining to the mass of the visiters, who are modest unassuming centlemen. and excited to diseust at all O - - - - u such nonsense. Ha vine given you an imperfect idea of the "sayings and doings" at the White, we now turn to the Hot, 36 miles distant "from th$ White,bver a beautiful turnpike road. As I mentioned in my first, the White Sulphur is at the foot cf the great Alleghany range of mountains, whence , the waters run to the Gulf. Leaving the White, we commence the ascent of the mountain and after six or seven miles get into the Valley of Virginia, the waters now running to the Atlantic. Thus with in the space of six or seven miles the little mountain torrents leaping from rock to rock, gathering strength as they go, on the one hand help to swell the great Father of Rivers in its tortuous course to the Gulf; on the other, they bubble down the valley, force a passage through the Blue Ridge and sweep on to the ocean. If you will allow a digression, tis really a magnificent sight and worth a tiip to the mountains, to view the passage of Jackson River thro' the Blue Ridge at Clifton Forge. Nature, (like all other mortals, being prone to err,) in the formation of this continent committed, as is supposed, a great mistake in not giving the waters of the Valley a vent to the ocean. In process oi time, however, the waters collected in such quantity as to break through the Ridge. Whether there was in the olden time an immense lake shut up between the Alle ghany and Blue Kidg's, or the opening was made when the continent rose from the ccean, (British Spy's theory,) is a nice subject for the enquiring mind of the ge ologist. A good part of the mountain, where the river burst through, is rock nearly perpen dicular, and on either side is a beautifully traced arch of solid rock two or three hun dred yards in length ELECTORAL APPOINTMENTS n . , VVe are requested by Henry I.

The charge that ny portion of the democratic party of North Carolina is unfriendly to the Union, or that any democrat in the State arts with any party which seeks to sever the bands of the Oontederacy, is false, unjounued, and calumniov.s. We know the origin of this charge and the motives of those who started it. It was brought forth in a wick ed and fell desire to advance the interests of Henry Clav bv rcnulsinir Texas from the pales of the Confederacy, and it is kept in motion by men who have little care for any thing but the success of party, and thfc spoils 01 pariy ana 01 otnee. North Carolina suffers equally with South Carolina linder the .oppressive and abominable tariff law of 1842,, Indeed the protective system, of which Henry Clay is the father, has blighted many of her fairest and, noblest prospects impoverished her lands crippled ihe energies and resources of her sons, and driven thousands of them tc distant lands in search of better and hap pier fortunes. In the ouiset she was the equal of New York in territory, in popula tion, and in the general fertility of her soil but what is she now? The Drotective system is .the evil genius which now sits Upon her bosom, and drinks up the streams ot her lile-blood. But she loves the D nion, and loving it she still looks to it. for justice, and hopes much, very much from the administration of James K. Polk. And yet she may be disappointed.
