The Evening Post comes finally to the conclusion,
hat it is best settle the question at the next session

these men, with their hordes of human cattle, have stolen

The First Victim Demanded.

The Louisville Journal is out in favor of the prompt
removal by General Taylor of General Joseph Lane,
governor of The assigned cause is TO be found
in the fact that General Lane defended the volunteers OF
his State from unjust attacks.
From the general in command down to the lowest sub
ordinate the army boosted not Drawer officer or more
devoted patriot than General Joseph Lane. Wherever
fighting to be done, there General Lane was to be
found and much his daring and chivalrous con-
duct admired, that the army officers and men, bestowed
upon him the soubrique of the "Maron OF the army,
the highest praise that could be bestowed
When appointed governor of Oregon, he promptly left
friends home and all, TO rally to the of the ct
zens OF Oregon, in danger of slaughter by their savage
enemies and at the time this call for his removal was
made, General Lane was struggling with the SHOWS OF
the Rocky mountans and now, if not cut of by the
savages, encounterng the chill blasts of the prares in
northern latitude still struggling animated with the
hope Of reaching Oregon in time to defend it, with his
single troop of mounted rifemen, against the savage
hores, whose numbers have cut off many of the best
citizens Of that land.
Such is the that Prentice, of the Louisville Jour
nal demands shall be removed from oice-such is the
victim who is the first marked for the guotine by the
leaders OF party that professed to prescribe prescription,
Let them do the deedet the gallant soldier be recalled
and Indiana friends will make him governor of
State instead of Territory; and that, too, by majority
that will make whgery Temble-Ohio Statesman.

A correspondent writes that there els one consoa-
ton in our unexpected defeat and that that there
will be so large majority Of the popular vote against
General Taylor II has been roughly estimated at up
wards OF 10000"
We have formed no estimate yet for ourselves; but
we .start with half the States, (ffteen,) in which, of

If this deficiency be true in relation TO the votes
tually given it is still swhen consider the
amount of popular vote which did 60 the polls
In some OF the States there has been considerable fall

New York Evening Post estimates considerable def

We do not very well see how the free -soilers could
claim the deficient vote because their non attendance at
the polls is much evidence of their going against
the Buffalo convention against the Baltimore or Phla-
