TO Jim Lame.
The most lulsome, disgusting, and ridiculous
slang -whang that we ever beheld, was the hand
bills of the abolitionists announcing the speech
of Jim Lane, at Masonic Hall, on Thursday
evening last
The announcement runs thus: "The gallant
persecuted hero and statesman, Col James H.
Lane, the champion of freedom in Kansas,
whose steps have been traced by midnight as
sasslns, whose life has been threatened by the
border rufliians, and upon whose head has been
Illuminated the wrath Of wicked and corrupt
administration will be present and address the
people. .z- ... .s.. q. sra .s. .g.1
"For defending the rights and the homes of
the free State men of Kansas the man who led
the third regiment of Indiana to glorious victory
on the battle field of Buena Vista stands indicted
by the serviIe tools of Franklin Pierce with the
charge of treason" ss,a-.
Then, ina gush of glory, it pours forth the
following touching sentiment from that good
old song, "The poor but honest soldier" viz:
"The valiant soldier ne'er despise,
Nor treat him as a stanger;
Remember he's his country's stay
In the hour of danger"
Oh! ye shades of departed patriots and he
roes! Oh! We memories Of Washington, Lafay-
cite, and Jackson! how are you glorifed by the
b;rrb honor, ,,ox.y bo;nnr po;H 70 th;c tnndnr,,
Hector, this great Achilles, this valiant, chival-
rous son Of Mars!
How sweet to the soul of this great hero
must be these gems from the poet Laureates of
the nation! Scott, and Taylor, and Jo Lane
dwindlc into insignifcance by the side of this
resplendent sun Of Mars!
But the halfis not told yet. The gallant Col.
Lane has more than military glory and Kansas
martyrdom to embalm his memory. He is no
'laggard in love" nor "a bastard in war"
The still small voice of the records of the
Dearborn circuit court for the present May term
speaka solemn sound to his miserable SOUL
On Saturday, the 18th inst, the wife Of this Col.
Lane obtained in the circuit court of Dearborn
county divorce from him, the said Lane, on a
petition Of his wife after proving him guilty of
abandonment, and for other legal causes. She
AYERS that he sent her home from Kansas among
strangers unprovided for, unprotected, and with
out money to pay her passage and travel. She
is the mother of three or four children Of the
same Lane.
Those ladies' who turned out to hear and
countenance him at Masonic Hall should deeply
sympathize with him in his loss Of his wife and
children. They should comfort him in his deep
affliction, and join with him in his lamentations
The Colonel has been for some time laboring
under symptoms Of insanity, and when man
is insane, he Is generally imaginative.
He was last heard indulging in the following
musical strains, which are somewhat similar to
the pathetic lines above given. It was about
two O'Clock in the morning" when he raptu-
rously sang;
| sim lonesome since lcrossed the hill,
And DER the plain and valley,
Such heavy thoughts my mind doth fill,
ST Since parting from my Sally.
| sin search of one that's fine and gay,
And sev'ral doth remind me;
Blest be the hours I've passed away
With the girl I've left behind me-"
Now, ladies of Indiana, turn out and hear the
gallant Colonel depict the wrongs done to the
womQp and children Of Kansas, upon which he
so piBially expatiates Clap your hands. to
cheer this miserable specimen of humanity, and
remember that he is now foot-loose, and may
soon want another wife.
