/ The Hon. Henry s. Lane of Indiana
addressed a public meeting at Indianupo
lis on Z G Gath ult.. on the course Of The
Senate in retaining the usurpiny Scna
tors, Mossrs. Bright and Fitch, and re-
fusing to consider the claims of the legal.
ly elected representatives Of the State -
lie also spoke with great force of the
general character of Mr. Buchauan's Ad
minis,ration, and Of the party which is
identified with it. The following ex.

" 1t has been a mooted question for
the past twenty FIVE years whether there
was any more Federal party amorg US.
Mr.. Buchanan has proved, ut last, that
there is Federali-t among US. IL is
an apt illustration of that law Of our being
which makes old aye and imbcciity re-
member vividly and turn fondly to the
ear y teachings Of you'll :, laughter, and to
forget ali that was learned in ripper years,
MIR. Buchanan was taught in infancy aud
early life the doctrines Of Fcderalism; for
time from policy he disguised bis opin-
ion: but now, when age is upon him, he
ins,inctivcly turns to his first lessons, and
asks for an increase Of Executive powers
which Hamilton never dreamed of--for
the power to involve this or at latiUn in
war withou. consulting Congress for
thirty millions Of dollars to be placed un.
der his control for purposes which he
does not cond, stend 10 explain to your
representatives, He believes that under
the Constitution he has now the lower to
force an odious Constitution upon the
people of Kansas egains, their thrice r.
peated remonstrance. But what is the
pre,ence for the thirty millions Why,
lie wants it to facilitate the purchase Of
Cuba, when Spain has already said that
she would rot sell Cuba, aud would con-
slider an offer to buy her all insult That
homcly old adage is yet true, as Mr. Bu-
chanan will find. But he wants to facil,
itate negotiations for the acquisition Of
Cuba Oh, yes, gentlemen | suppose
he wants that sum for the purpose of
plying of some d MAJ d upon tie co,rup,
ton fund Of 1856. Two years ago the
Treasury vas overhowing with 1900,
900 oyerplus; we had SO much money in
the Treasury that the Secretary OF the
Treasury advertised for those holding
government bonds to come forward and
have them paid; indeed, he offered and
paid large premium on them. We bad
80 much money We did not know what to
do with it. Now we have had twU years
of Mr.. Duchanat's maladministration
and we are il debt this day between $40,
OU0, 900 and $50. 900 900, and 10 means
o: payment provided. .
MIR. Buchanan, to be sure, with tears
in his eyes, has asked Congress for specif-
ic duties, which his own friends deny
him. Wheh Coug e~s see, the vahdi y
Of the doctrine OF not, there is one spe.
clfc duty In connection with this Admin
is,ration, which recognize fully, aud
that is the specific duty OF beating it in
1860. GChecrs,] lie has now all empty
Treasury, aud his remedy is to spend
800, ,oUO. 900 PR annum, and give Sl20,
200, 900 tor Cuba. He is now entirely
helpless, and without the r. publicans,
he cannot pass the ordinary Appropria-
ton bills. The Administration stands
this way; the Democrats who did not
leave upon his Lecompton policy have
left him upon his tariff policy, until not
a corporal's guard is left, not even enough
to give him a decent burial The Ad-
ministration is totteriog, its downward
way to an Injurious grave--a grave upon
which 10 patriots tear shall ever fall. "
