GoyERSoR OF OREGoN-REMovAL OF GEN. LANE.
The Wing copies scurrilous article from the Louis
vile Journal, iustifying the removal by Gen. Taylor
of Gen Lane, the ''Marion of the Mexican war;, on
the ground that Gen. L. sin his addresses and pub-
cations relative to the battle of Buena Vista, was
guilty of the basest fasehoods and calumnies, and
of course that he 4 thoroughly dishonest and
unprincpled man, unfit to hold any office of trust
under the government" The Journal is miserable
authority for the truth of any charges aga inst Po-
lca opponent, and the country will recel We its evil
dence with great distrust. But admitting that Gen.
L. had done injustice to Gen. Taylor, was it mag
unanimous in the IS Second Washington" who had
" enemies to punish,' to wreak his personal re-
venge on gallant companion In arms-of whom
Gen. Taylor in his solemn official despatch of 9th
March, Is47 describing the victory of Bucna Vista.
speaks in the following complimentary terms, in the
same paragraph which eulogizes Gen. Woola
"Brigadier General Lane (slightly wounded, was
active and Jealous throughout the day, and displayed
great GOODNESS and gallantry before the enemy"
Here is man, acknowledged by Gen. Taylor to
have fought bravey, and to have shed blood in the
cause of the country, dismissed with disgrace from
the eounry's service by President Taylor, from
spirit of personal revenge! The heroic age" has
returned with vengeance-and the spirit of the First
Washington shows itself every day in its present
embodiment!
But, continues the same Louisville Journal:
"We have spoken upon the suPposition that Gen.
Lane has been dismissed of his caumnies,
but most certainly very sufficient reason for his dis
mssal may be found in his profound ignorance and
his utter want of all conceivable qualifications for any
Office requiring the slightest acquaintance with states
manship." ..-
This is truly farcical Gen. Taylor has
hbited the slightest acquaintance with statesman
ship-yet for fighting the battle of Buena Vista he
is marvellous proper for President of this great
nation. Gen. Lane aided Gen. T. with his zeal ac-
tivty and gallantry in winning said battle. Yet he
is not fit to fill the Office of Governor of Oregon. We
know not which most to wonder at, the cool impu-
dence of the excuse up, the miserable motives
of spite and revenge ascribed to the modern Wash
ngton, in thus striking down personal enemy. The
people of Indiana have just declared what they think
of the ignoble deed. Rich. Eng

Mr.. DANcY's EULoGY ON Mr.. Polk. We have
received from the author, VIM. F. Dancy, Esq. of
Edgecombe, copy of his Eulogy on ex-President
Polk, delivered at Tarboro the 24th ut:, and pub
lished by request of committee of the citizens of
that place. We regret that have not been able to
devote TO it the attention which the subject deserves
and to which the ability of the discourse itself ent
ties it; yet, from what we have of it, we have
no hesitation in saying that it reflects credit the
author, and is worthy of the distinguished patriotic
whose character it is devoted. The career of few
affords better scope for the orator who would be
impartial and yet not nggard of his praise than that
of the late President; at the time that there are
few whose acts have soon become matters of his
tory from the fact that he left nothing mpshed
but brought every measure of his administration to
perfect consummaton before his term of service ex-
pired. Mr.. Dancy seems to have availed himself of
the rich materials spread before him. with full ap-
probation of their value. ItiL Jour.

, An OurRA0E AeAlNsr THE Scare OF PENEsYL-
yANrA. We learn from the Baltimore Sun that Tho
mas Mitchell, colored man, who has been residing
| in Pennsylvania for about twelve years, was, on
dence and taken on to Baltimore. Upon his arrival
in that city he was committed to jail as fugltlVe
slave gentleman named Martin, with whom ne
once resided, followed that city lnorder TO In
terest himself in his behalf Mr.. Martin was then
arrested and committed Jail on plea OF debt 10
the owner for the labor of the aiedged slave whist
Mr.. Martin was resisting the efforts made to take
him away, his shoulder blade was dlsioeatea, Wncn
rendered his condition very painful. PhiA. Ne'os.
1t is we'll for Mr.. Martin that he escaped with his
life. There are, at this time, hundreds of negroes
who have been decoyed from their masters by the
Aboltonists, in the tree States; and by the laws Of
some of these States and In opon violation of the
Federal Constitution, all public officers there are ex
pressly enoined not to deiverno assist in delivering
up these slaves to their rightfnl owners. This is
nothing more nor less than downright robbery; and
what renders it the revolving to every feeling of
honor and JUSTICE is the fact that while it is the off
spring of cant and hypocrisy, it confers no benefit
whatever upon the negro race. ~
The fathers of these very Aboitionists were once
shareholders, and the most strenuous defenders of
the institution. They imported the article from At
rica and they held slaves and rafcked upon them as
long as they could make money at its but when they
found owing to their soil and climate, that slave la
Dor was declining in value, they sold off their stock to
the Southern people, pockeed the proceeds and then
commenced preaching against the Sc SIM of holding
&c human fesh'' and IS human souls - in bondage!
The world, whether ancient modern, affords no in
stance of meanness and selfshness level with this
These same men now seek to limit slavery, and to
abolish it in the District of Columbia, in order, as
they say, that they may not be considered responsible
for its extension continuance on common soil; but
their real object is to strike blow after blow against
the institution until it is broken up rendered use
less in the old States. Will the South submit to
these aggressions! Will shareholders, who would
resist to the utmost extremity any open and direct
attack upon their rights be lulled to sleep by the
song of those who declare there is no danger, and
then be destroyed by degrees! AS we value the
Union as we regard our own interests, must COM
pei the free States to preserve the former by respect
ing the latter. Union Of sentiment and action can
only do Mis-and shall we not have it 7

Yearly Value

The above table is copied from returns
published in the year 1873, which are Off
cial, and can be relied upon. Now, when
we consider that this land was originally Ia
ken from the Irish, being portion Of the
original conhscation-and when we consider
also, that these immense sums are annually
taken from Ireland, and that these church
dignitarles are forced upon the Irish people
we would ask what becomes Of the ques-
ton, "Why should England feed the starv-
ing Irish" The above mentioned incomes,
it must be recolected, are exclusive and in
dependent Of the "fixingsn attached to each
office, in the shape Of domains, rectories,
tythes, &c, and are gathered from property
to which the present owners have no moro
moral right than have the natives of the
Sandwich Islands
Allowing the yearly rent of the entire
lands to be collected at the same rate as that
above mentioned, and we will have a total
Of one million six hundred and eighteen
thousand, eight hundred and four pounds
To this we might add the income Of one
hundred and sixty-eght rectories and globes,
scattered throughout LELAND; and the result
would give a fund that would feed the starv-
ing Irishpeople in the time ofneed. We have
not the data before us, showing the gigantic
confscations Of Irish landed property that
have been made by England; but whole
counties have been con6scated at a sweep,
and bestowed on Englishmen To such an
extent was this vile robbery perpetrated,
that there are few estates in the country in
the possession of the descendants Of the
rightful owners. N.
In the face Of these things, we hear con-
tinually Of justice to Ireland; but not word
Of the injustice which has been perpetrated
on the people Of that country, and continued
through successive ages, until nine millions
Of people have been reduced to such misery
as to depend upon one preearious root for sub
sistence. Who should feed the starving
Irish, forsooth'-N. " Herald.

THE IRISH AND THE ENGLISH.

Ever since the famine occurred in Ireland
our English exchanges have had article after
article in their columns, inquiring, why should
England feed the starving irish Z Now,
we would suppose that il Ireland is an inte-
grail portion Of the British empire, there
would be no occasion for asking such ques-
ton. II she is not, then she must be foolish
indeed to be perpetually agitating about
repeal Of the Union; il she is, then, as a por-
ton Of the British empire, she is as much en-
titled to sympathy, aid, and protection, from
the rest of the empire in the hour Of her
need, as tho city OF London or any other
place is. What, therefore, is the meaning
Of this alarm-"why should England feed
the starving Irish;n
But apart from this consideration, let US
see if it is not the bounden duty of England
to "feed the Irishn in the event Of famine.
II is tolerably well known, we apprehend,
that the life-blood Of Ireland is distracted by
England, in one way or another, in the shape
Of taxes and assessments OF these, the
most odious is that for maintaining the Church
Of England, Gas by law establishedn Ire
land, as our readers are aware, is Catholic
country--as much so as Spain or Mexico;
yet the Catholic not being the religion "by
law established the British Government
insists upon forcing their pet upon the peo-
pie Of that country, and making them pay
for it, nolens polens, albeit the proportion
Of Catholics to Protestants is az nine to one.
To give the American people glimpse in
to the villianous system OF church govern
ment in Ireland, we publish the following TIA
bic, showing the yearly income and annual
value Of the property under the control of
the English church dignitaries in Ireland:
