sneech of Henry :. Lame.

This gentleman-the Wing State elector and the great
Wing orator-whose coming to Indianapolis the great
occasion of the Wing ratification meeting, announced
with flourish of trampets, actually did come, and
actually did unburthen his mind Of many Of its
ceptions and profound conclusions. We do al
Jude his speech because feel the least annoyed
disturbed for lear Of its effects, but call the attention
of the public to the STYLE manner and matter Of this
renowned Wing orator. Either the mental and physical
ability Of Col Lane have failed him, his theme and
the object of his discourse is barren Of incident
allow him to do Justice to himself or TO permit him to
interest intelligent audience His chosen texts
tres and badly selected They either newspaper
squhs or stale anecdotes, such every
reader and they fell upon the like thrice told tale
His eulogums upon Gen Scotts military character
recitation of his battles and the chvarous proves OF
American All the glory of all these battles
given TO the commanding General instead Of honestly
dividing amongst his subordinate officers and the in
trepd soldiers who did the fighting. His loud praises
all for the hero of Lsndy's Lane, Chippewa, Ger
Gordo, Churubusco and Chepultepec His attempts
to indirectly endorse Gen. Scott as statesman and
civilian frail and impotent and his attempts wit
were labored dull. and heavy.
Indeed we were astonished that Henry s. Lane could
far compromt his dignity and his character for truth
and veracity indulge in the low demagoguical slang
which he Used in reference to the late Constitutional
Convention and towards the late Legislature. His state
ments were uncandid uncalled for and untrue He mag
nied overraed, and set naugh facts and figures
liciousy dsregarding the ohs hearers In
short, the effort of Henry S. Lane poor uninteres
ing and discredabe to the position which he occupied
1t fell far short Of the expectations of his friends the
hopes of his partizans. Only few silly and clamorous
boys and brainess enthusiasts made response to his la
bored attempts at splendid eocuon. The more sober
and intellectual part of his audience were still as the
grave, and solemn the followers OF funeral. Prob
ably they felt their hopes nearly buried. We had
hoped for a more brilliant debut for friend Lane.

1.-THE Wing ratification meeting closed by demon
stration at the Masonic Hall. Gen. Kilgore the
orator on the occasion. His speech made up OF
abuse of Gen. Pierce and the editor OF the Sentinel He
dwelt, with great emphasis the fact that Gen Pierce,
from pain occasoned by wound, tainted the field of
battle We heard of Gen. Kigore lainting from
modesty, but have heard of his being chased The
General, certain occasion was interrogating wit
ness asked him il woman (the defendant in the case)
chaste? The witness REPLIED. I" never lie rd of
such thing, but have heard of you being chased
eral times" Rumor says the valiant General was
chased until he lanting during the Constitu-
tona Convention, and some even say he was caught.
Never mind General if Scott gets elected he will make
you Governor of Utah-as worthy of Brig
ham Young possessing many of his manly qualities.
