C-The nomination Of Lane, as political stratagem,
having accomplished its p rose, is already obsolete
idea. STILL as Nero's horse made Consul, perhaps
few Of the Generals gallant friends think there is no
why the standard for Chief Magistrate may
be again lowered ludcrous Tribune.
We should think it required hard cheek for one OF
the early and jealous supporters of Gen. Taylor to
talk about lowering the standard for Chief Magistrate
'sto a ludicrous grade" We do believe there is
Wing in the Union, who is personally acquainted with
Lane, and who ever knew Taylor, but what will award
the former higher grade of qualifications for that
office. Joe Lane is man Of more political experience
sound judgment and stronger common sense than
Gen. Taylor possessed

There is a vast amount of Railroad iron manu-
factured in this country and we should like know
why Mr. Rose the worthy President of the Tcrre Haue
Railroad, who is Whig, does not purchase it. The
is obvious. The foreign article is cheapest and
the Directors like sensible men, prefer forty dollars
ton to the American product at sixty dollars. They
preach about protecting home industry, but always buy
in the cheapest market The duty iron is thirty
per cent increase it to sixty, and You add thirty per
at least to the price of the foreign iron, which viii
hiring it in fair competition with the American article
1t would then add the cost of Railroads thirty pei
cent in the price of iron. Whilst Indiana is struggling
construct Railroads, would such increase be of any
advantage to the farmers of Indanal This is ques

the most regard for those in bondage-the abolition and

This is no thing. The negroes themselves, in our
cities and villages, have learned almost to avoid the
political agitators Of slavery, when they have any
scheme of ameloration benevoence touching their

tee their theory. They make excellent sections and
