II gives great pleasure To be able tu say that the
services and fame of General Lane are fully uppre-
eiaied and entirely in bis far distant home 10
Oregon. Already the pe,pe understand and are
ready to vindcaie his character. The people of Or
egon, II will be perceived. by The proceedings of The
meeting copied below, indignant at his removal
from the Office of Governor-and wonder. Cen
eral Lane, we venture 10 slate, possesses more of the
clements of usefulness his character, the Gov
ernor of Oregon, than any that could have been
sent To that territory and his removal shows, that
General Taylor, in addition entire uniiness for
the station he now occupies, is contempbly mean and
revenpeful in his disposition. His puny efforts. how
ever, cannot pro~traie such man as General Lane
He is fully appreciated by discerning people, and
should he in Oregon lie will find friends
he has already found them, ready 10 elevate him to
any station within their gift. Indiana will be
proud of her own Joe Lane. whether in the Legsla-
tive halls. the field of battle. the head of far
off country on the Pacific.
