The para nitro group of 4-nitroaniline is a resonance electron withdrawing substitutent, thereby reducing the electron density of the nitrogen and lowering its basicity relative to aniline. The 4-methyl group of toluidine is a weak inductive electron donating group, thereby increasing the electron density of the nitrogen and increasing its basicity relative to aniline.
