The Bank organ of this town seems very desi-
rous to create the impression that Mr.. Toole's
friends will not "submit to the nomination of the
Democratic Convention, and quotes from the Tar
boro' Press extracts from communication ad-
dressed to Samuel L, Arlington, and not the De
mocratic candidate, by which he hoped to prove
his assertion. Now we give the Whig Editor
fairly to understand, that he will be able to ef
feet the purpose at which he aims. If the Editor
has read the Republican at all, he certainly must
know that Mr.. Toole's friends here, as well as
elsewhere appreciate his worth, and are as much
endeared to him now as ever. The Editor need
not atter himself with the vain hope, of splitting
up our party by any thing he can say,

oCCUPATION-HONOR IN LIFE.

There is not more foolish notion affoat in the
world than the one that it is occupation that gives
the character to man. One occupation as the
means of 'getting living" as the phrase goes is
precisely as high and creditab1e as another, pro-
vided that it is honorable; and in accordance with
the laws of God and man. The man who holds
the plough, hammers the iron, or drives his peg
to supply his family with the necessaries of life
is not whit below the one who measures tape be-
hind the counter, mystifes law at the BAR or pre-
sides over the councils of the nation. There is a
vulgar and pernicious feeling abroad in the COM
munity on this subject. Fathers must educate
their sons for one of what is the 'earned profes-
sions" Daughters must marry lawyer, doc
tor, a clergyman or merchant. Horror! the
good lady would as soon think of marrying her
daughter to Winnebago, as to homely, indus
-trious and honest mechanic Why, the family
would be dishonored! No, no!
The business of a carpenter, blacksmith or
farmer, is not so respectable as that of shaving
notes. drawing solidty from the desk, peddling
rotten wood pills, selling snuff or tobacco. And
yet the duties of all the learned professions, as
well as those of merchants, are performed for the
same reason that a shoemaker wakes his thread
and the farmer plants his potatoes, viz: to obtain
living. Still, the miserable upsart fools, who are
almost universally low-bred themselves-people
who have begun life in dtch-endearor to cs-
ablsh in society artificial distinctions, which they
hope will elevate them above the common mass
from which they were taken, and to give them
an importance which innate honesty could not
command Labor is labor; honest labor is hon.
est labor. Honesty and honorable labor are the
same, whether performed by the king or the beg
garland it is just as honorable in the one as the
other 1t is true that all men, by habit and taste
are notpermitted to pursue the same vocations-
and there are natural divisions distinctions as
the word is commonly used-created by harmony
and taste. This is as it should be-and fits US for
the discharge of all the peculiar duties that de-
volve upon us as members of society But to
say, because man performs any given duty, how
ever humble, though necessary, degrades or rem
ders him less meritorious than his neighbor, who
performs another duty, yet not more faithfulIy-is
to say still adhere to the monarchiaI principles
of the old world

MR.. JEFFERSON.

There are some facts connected with the histo-
ry of Mr.. Jefferson, the Apostle of Democracy,
not very generally known to the present genera
tlon AT the time of the elder Adams election
to the Presidency, it was the practice under the
constitution to make the candidate receiving the
highest number of electoral votes the President,
and the next highest Vice President. A false re-
turn in one State and the suppression Of return
IN another, gave MIR. Adams II votes and Mr. JEFF
ferson 68, thus showing that the first federal Pre-
sldent ever elected, succeeded by the same means
which characterised the elevation of the younger
Adams and General Harrison, the only Presidents
from that party we have ever had. They all
reached power by foul means
Mr.. Jefferson was an ardent friend of agricul-
tural pursuits which, with philosophical research,
constituted the pleasures of his life He remained
in the Department of Secretary of State, one year
longer than he wished only at the pressing entrea-
ty of President Washington, and then retired two
years before the expiration of his term Of appoint
ment. His feelings towards the cultivators of the
soil, the great and leading, but neglected interest
OF the nation, is beautifully expressed in his Notes
on virginia, where he pays this high but Just tri-
butte to their worth and merits.
Those who labor in the earth are the chosen
people of God, if ever he had any chosen people,
whose breasts he has made his peculiar deposit
for substantial and genuine virtue. 1t is the focus
in which he keeps alive that sacred fire, which
might escape from the earth. Corrup-
tion of morals in the mass of the cultivators is
phenomenon of which no age nor nation has fur
nished an example. 1t is the mark set OH those,
who not looking up to toHcauen, to their own soil
and industry, as does the huSbGndnsGn, for their
subsistence depend for it on the casualties and ca
price Of customers Dependence begets subservi-
ence and venality, suffocates the germ of virtue,
and prepares fit tools for the danger of ambition
1t IS the manners and spirit of a people aohich
preserre republic IN OigOr. A degeneracy in
these is a canker which soon eats to the heart Of
its laws and constitution"

TOBACCO has done nearly as much as ardent
spirits to brutalize mankind. Pipes, of what
ever description, are an abomination. In point
of stencil, the most extensive meerschaum is
even worse than the hod-carrier's clay. Boys
carry cigars in their mouths in the vain attempt to
look manly-newly imported rustics to look
knowing-fooIs as an excuse for having nothing

ting the fair by their eIoquence, and securing
that sweet pressure of ruby lips, which is the
well earned need of gallantry, may be ittingly
converted by their owners into chimney pots

A RICH SCENE

Kendall humorousIy describes the entrance of
himself and his companions into one Of the Mexi-
can cities as follows;
"When within some five miles of Guanajuato,
numerous market men were met returning from
the city, driving before them the donkeys that had
bore their produce to market. AS many of our
men were footsore from the tedious mountain
march of the day previous, the officer who had
charge of US Immediately pressed the animals into
service, and told the Texans to mount them. 1t
was in vain that the owners of the animals expos
tuIaed and told our captain they were in haste to
return to their homes; he not onl y reiterated his
order for our men to seize the unsuspecting DON
keys by the ears and mount them at once, but he
also commanded their owners TO assist in driving
them. As we gradually approached the city, the
number of donkeys increased; and, before we en-
tered the suburbs, every Texan was seen perched
upon the back of jackass, without saddle or bri-
die; and of such low stature were many of the
animals TINT their riders were fairly compel
led to bend, and curl up their legs, to keep their
feet from dragging on the ground"
