defining The boundary Of Texas. He proposes TO
leave Texas 5000 square miles in extent, and to
offer her Sl5, ,0OO 0G0 for the territory renquished,
surrender OF public buildings. Custom Houses, and
receipts of customs. The bill provides that when
this reinquished territory shall have 100000 nhab
ians. it slall be admitted as State into the Union.

GENERAL JOSEPH LANE.-At meeting of the de-
mocracy of Indiana, at Indianapolis, General Lane
proposed with the greatest enthusiasm as the
next candidate of the democratic party for President
of the United States. We have but slight personal
acquaintance with Gen. Lane. but his public acts
show him 10 be man Of no ordinary capacity. He
has shown himself equal to every station he has been
called upon to fill. He is, by birth, Kenuckian.
He has been several times member Of the Legisa-
of his adopted State. and occupied high stand
amongst the abest representatives of that State His
gallant bearing IN the Mexican war has given him a
fame wide the Union. His message as Gov
ernor of Oregon shows his eminent qualifications for
the Office SO ndidicousy conferred upon him by Pres
dent Polk Whether he is to be the standard bearer
Of the great democratic party in 1852 depends upon
circumstances. One thing we can say, he will be
gallant one should he be selected and should he at
tain the high Office of Chief Magistrate OF this Re-
public, he will prove himself equal to that exalted
station he has done in every other to which he has
been Called LOnispiHe Democrat.
