Heaton. A motion that Hon. Henry S.
Lano, of Indiana. address tho convention,
was received with loud applause.
Mr.. Lano took tho stand aud made
western specch--that is, u speech full of fun,
oequencu and power. He said that any
member of tho Democracy present need not
ioar personal opprObrium from him, but he
would at the same time heartily donounce
this God accursed administration. On his
Journey from Indiana 10 Columbus, he had
seen living witnesses against slavery and for
treedOm-indeod our whole State was an
epic inspired by the spirit of liberty.
Mr. Lane thun rapidly sketched the his
tory aud position Of tho Republican ano
Democratic parties upon the slavery ques'
ton aud paid his respects to Seator Pugh
whose official place, he hoped would soor
know INN no mure forever. Ho trustee
, that MIR. Pugh would soon be consigned Il
that obscurity, which no was 80 well quail
, fled to adorn, Ie then glanced at tho
| state of tho FREQ North and slave South, ro'
tuted the. old fiction of the immutability o.
tho Democratic party, and exposed tho ex
t,avaganco and reck klessness of tho present
administration.
This speech abounded in telling points
which were greeted with tho usual torrent
of applause Mr.. Lane tells u story capi
tally, and told three of tho best sort, by way
of illustration, but to reproduce' them with
out his manner, would bo to do him al
injnstico of which not evon reporter ii
capable.
