We noticed the arrival Of Gen. Lane last
week. His residence is in the upper part Of
this county. As he has many fre Dds around
Us, and his name has been hoisted al the
head ola number of Indiana Democratic pa
pers for the Presidency, we are always will
ling to publish anything connected with him
which may prove interesting to those friends.
We don't like Gen. Lanes politics, and we
don't think much. Of him as candidate for
the Presidency; however, we honestly be-
lieve. that had it not been for those calling
themselves his friends, he would at this time
be occupying a seat in the United States
Senate. As a man he deserves what he hsis,
many real friends. We take pleasure in
transferring to our columns. the proceedings
Of public meeting held in Oregon previous
to his departure, in compliment to General
| Lane:
