For a few weeks past the whig papers and the whig orators in this State, have been publishing Mr. Ogle’s speech, which is nude up ot the vilest misrepresentations against Mr. \ an Hureri relative to expenditures for furnishing the President’s bouse.—It was made their trump card on the eve of the election that is just over. To show how groundless these charge's arc, and the Otter contempt with which their author is regarded by his own political friends in Congress, wc this week publish an extract from the speech of Sir. Lincoln, a JF/wg member from .Va ttachutellt and Chairman of the Committee on Public Buildings, in which he administers upon Ogle a severe and merited castigation. Can any whig in Indiana, after seeing the vile use their leaders have made of these calumnies, read Lincoln’s defence of the President without feeling his checks tingle with the blush of shame! Wo intend publishing (ho entire speech hi our next.

Mr. Lincoln’s Speech.

A - correspondent of the, Richmond Enquirer lias prepared a tabular statement, which we subjoin, showing that there is in the Slatc.a popular majority for the democracy, amounting to more than four thousand vote?. He says:—

Virginia Political Statistic*.

The editor of thc-Statcsman* is expected to deliver an address at the market house on Saturday evening, upon Political apostacy, and moral reform:— after wbiclra collection will be lifted to defray the expenses incurred on the evening of the election, in the purchase of hard cider and gingerbread., Tho third Choir of Tippecanoe Singers, no doubt will be present.— Turn out!—turn out!! This is the glorious era ofhard cider arguments, and gingerbread logic.

Notice.

“I herein enclose you, for your satisfaction, a tabular statement of the Democratic and Federal gains in the several congressional districts in the last election, as compared with theCongressional vote of the preceding spring—from which you will see that the Democratic majority in IS39 in the Democratic districts was 5233, and in 13-10, 0727—whilst the Federal majority in the Whig districts was in 1339. 2509, and in 1319, 3391— total Democratic gain -1757, and total Whig gam 3997. I have left out the Accomac and Chesterfield Districts, there having been no contest in either. You will now perceive ii. tiny view that can be taken on (lie subject, the Democracy is triumphant, so far as the popular vote is concerned. I havo a Tabular statement exposing the fallacy of-the Richmond Whig's account, but have no room for it.

There was not a mirror, even a common seven-by-nine mirror, in it? there was not a single table, except an old pine tabic in one corner, which, under the hammer of the auctioneer, would not fetch seventy-five cents, and an old worn out sofa. The whole would not fetch $5; and yet this was the anteroom into'which foreign ministers, and visiters of every description, were Introduced to ecc the President. Now.what did the committee intend to. do 'with the $500! They did not intend to furnish the house like n palace, but to supply it with good, simple, and substantial furniture, of homo manufacture.

Democratic members had obtained.a nominal majority by illegal votes, but behold it turns out, that a majority of the illegal votes polled were found on the other side, and that ih’o'Republicans have-gained many-good Votes which were rejected. When the result of the investigation appeared in the .Report mado to tho House, the Federal members seem to have been thrown tor to utter confusion,-being greaUy at a loss to know how to break their, fall. VfVhe Chairman of the Committee on making the Report, moved to'print it, together with tho minority report, and lay the subject over for several days, doubtless with the view of giving time to the House for its full examination. Against tins proposition to print, the Federal member* made violent opposition, ami one of them, in order to consume lime, at that late period of the sesrion, and.stavc otVlhe question, called for the reading of all the papers. When the Republican members saw the game that was playing, they determined to meet them on their own- grounds, and prevent a sacrifice of tho public interest, by this unprincipled maiuBUVcr.ing. They accordingly sal still and heard (lie Reports of the majority and minority ’ read through from beginning to end. This done, they culled lor the previous question on the Resolutions confirming the scats to the Democratic members, and determined to lake it before ad1 juurning. They had in the first instance, it will , be remembered, ’'proposed to lay the question [ over for four or five days, that the members might have lime to examine the Reports and papers after being printed, but as the Federalists forced the reading of all these papers,'thereby affording 1 every man an opportunity of hearing ilio tacts, ■ there was certainly no necessity for further delay. L After the House had determined to take the question, then there seems to have been a terrible fluttering in the Federal ranks, some osked * to be excused from voting, others in defiance ol 1 the House, declared they would not vote, all seeming furious at being caught in their own trap. Their manccuvcring and raving however ‘ were alike .unavailing, fur the House persisted in its determination to bring the matter to a ' close, and accordingly the question was taken, ' and tho Republican members were confirmed ‘ in their right to seats, by a vote of-1W to Thus has ended the famous New Jersey case; iu * the defeat of the disgracelnl fraud attempted, and the eternal infamy of Gov.
