REMARKs.-ln cautionlng the people, in the article
complained of against what we were pleased at the
moment to call ''Od Hunkers,' it was not intended
to couple the of Amos Lane in particular with
the advocacy of the Mammoth system of Internal
Improvement, bu against all such are never con-
tent unless in the enjoyment of Office and emoument
Also against those who eternally debating and
threatening destruction to their party unless they get
all they want or ask for.
Mr. Lanes chief denial is one we are happy to
learn-that he has no connection with the Beacon
newspaper. This may all be true; but abusive COM
municatons, as well as editorials, have frequently
appeared in that print against prominent democrats,
and ourselves in particular and if Mr.. Lane had any
desire especially where he himself was the subject of
comment, to stop this unpleasant matter, surely no
one knowing the position of parties in that section
will for moment suppose that he could not have
done so.
If we have correctly interpreted the course Of the
Beacon it has maintained that Mr. Lane was made
the victim of Gov. Whitcombs Scheming, in relation
to the seat on the Supreme Bench which Mr.. Lane
desired Now have reason to believe that all the
Scheming the side of Mr.. Lanes friends, and
not on that of the Governor We have one item
which will give here, for Mr.. LIS satisfaction Oh
this point. 1t a remark by one of the most prem
inent members of the Democratic party, and as he
was at that time, supposed personally friendly
to Mr.. Lane it struck us the more forciby; and W,
never forgot it He remarked that the attitude which
Mr.. Lane, was such that SIT had become matter
personal honor rih Cor. Whitconb not to nominal
t Mr.. Lane" We understood from the same gentle
man, that Mr. Buell. had repeatedly and urgently so
licited the Governor to appoint Mr. Lane, and tina
finally he had assumed threatening attitude, an
plainly told the Governor that if Mr. L. was not ap
pointed, the Senatorial election should be brought o.
by the union Of his with that of the Wings 70
that purpose The Governor, any honorable ma
would have done, cooy deied him to act he pleas
ed and "take the responsibility" Though Mr..
did not choose to act as he had threatened to do,
was the less demanded by the Governors sefre
spect to refuse to nominate Mr. Lane. Many strong
er incidents than this might be stated, going to shoV
the importantly of Mr.. Lanes friends, but the actor
certainly need not be reminded of them. And ha
we supposed Mr.. Lane himself ignorant of the facts
we should perhaps have been less surprised at hi
permitting the Beacon long and often, to ute
the most unfounded calumnies against those who,
far know, were guilty of nothing worse than
determination not to be driven from the path Of duty
by the threats Of either oce-seekers their friends
