Gen. 10. Lane at Rockport.

1t will be seen by the following account
of Gen. 10. Lanes speech at Rockport, that
he grows more and more intense in his Lee
comptonism as he gets into the bush. He
re-iterates Brights odious sentiment that it
is a vicious principle to submit a constitu-
ton to a vote of the people; "they are en-
tirely too ignorant to decide such qucS-
tom" the Kansas constitutional convention
the slavery clause. He says if the Admin
istration is endorsed by the reelection of
such members as Niblack, the LecOmpton
constitution will be ''.torced dorm the Threats
of the rebels and traitors of Kansas" This
is the scheme of Mr.. Buchanan, disclosed by
his bosom friend, Gen. 10. Lane. Let the
voters of the First District ponder upon it.
80 Kansas is a dead ISSUE" but il is to be
erdnimed dorm the Threats Of The people Of
Kansas if Buchanan can gain the power;
if the people endorse his usurpations 10y the
election of his plant minions, such as Nj
prudence, as an itinerant stumper for Nj
black. lie has more honesty than cunning.
He has at least done the people some service
in forewarnng them, by this open avowal
of the secrets of the White House.

EDITOR JouRyAL.-ST: Gen. 10. Lane
addressed full Court House of Lecomp-
tonites, and anti-Lecomptontes, the latter
largely predominating, Notwithstanding the
former had rallied their entire force in the
county. The Generals speech was one of
the .fdttest exhibitions of nonsense | ever
listened to; and about the only hits he
made that brought the Lecomptonites to the
stamping fever, was that the Lecempton
Convention committed on outrageous JluRder
,rhen IL submitted the sIapery clause. "No
body" argued the General, Z" had right to
vote on Constitution they were entirely
too ignorant to do it," lie said Lecomp-
tonism was right, from its inception to its
tizzle in the English swindle, and that if the
Administration was endorsed this fall las he
thought it would be- Lecomptonism should
still be forced down the Threats of the rebels
and traitors of Kansas, in spite Of theiI
screeching. lie acknowledged, indirectly
that the Union was the organ of the Presi-
dent, and said it proclaimed true genuine
Democracy, as reflected by Mr.. Buchanan
but thought it was little injudicious as to
the little Giant
So strong were the Gems Lecompton ap,
peals to sustain Buchanan whom he styled
the purest patriot and noblest statesman the
world ever saw that it heartily Disguised
many OF the Lecomptonites themselves, and
heard several ofthem say that they would
now vote for IIovey, and the entire anti-Le.
compton ticket. The General appealed &c
the people to endorse him and the President
because he (Lane) had in early days caught
POssums and Coons through here. He for
got, however, to tell them he voted in 1885
or Whereabouts, to fasten upon the taxpayer
of Indiana, millions of public debt in tn
way of internal improvements; which debt
SO fastened upon the people by the votes q
10. Lane, and others like him, is now crush
ing out the best energies of our people.
tell you, Mr.. Editor, that all the LecomPto
Missionaries, that the President may send in
to this district cannot produce ripple Oh tn
bold, deep stream of anti-Lecomptonism tina
pourS through old Spencer and the pocket
nor can they convince the people that Fed
erdlism, LeeOmptonism, or Monarchy is RICH
e Hurra for Hovey, and down with LecomI
tonism and its parasites.
