GEN. LANE ON TIE SLAVERY QUESTION. Gen.
Joseph Lane, of Oregon, in u brief speech in
the Senate, disposed of the whole territorial
question in an admirable way; for there is not
a bit Of circumlocuton, or concealmcnt, or
lodging in his remarks from the beginning to
the end. He denied there was any power Civ
en- to Congress either to prohibit slavery or to
abolish slavery, and hence it could not confer
such power on territory; and hence there was
not power in n Territorial Legislature either
to establish slavery or to prohibit it, His
words are:
"My proposition u.s. that Congress has no
power over the question of slavery; that they
cannot$nnder the Constitution, establish it in
a Territory or prohibit it; and that legislative
assembly in a Territory, deriving its power
from Congress- cannot do what Congress itself
cannot do"
The Post gives additional extracts, and adds:
That's the spirit that will sweep the country
in November for the Charleston nominee, be
he who he may; and this only can save the
country from the curse Of the triumph Of an
anti, Constitutional party. The thanks of ev-
cry Democrat are due to Gen. Lane for this
truly patriotic specialization Post.

his last yesterday morning March 22d) at the

the utmost serenity. he gave directions as to
the disposition of his remains and spoke of the
natural beauty Of the spot in which he would
be buried; asking some of.those who stood by
MS bedside to visit it in the pleasant summer
time, and to remember him wliife doing so.
Some hours after he had quietly and peace
fully breathed his last, affecting and impressive
religious services were performed, in the pres

mination to the Southern Democracy.
And. in fine, there Is need just now that the
moderate men ofthe north shall rebuke. in mar
kcd manner, the mad lanaticism of many among
them who haye gone to 80 great lengths Of aula-
city and treason. The Harpers Ferry atrocity
and the consequent outrages pcrpctratetl by ill.,
dividuafs and communities, need some counter
vailing influence. These acts need to be prac-
tically disavowed. A natural aud pardonable
suspicion has been produced throughout the
whole south. This feeling must be allayed.
And, certainly, so far as the Northern DemocrA-
cy is concerned, no more direct and cfficacious
mode could be suggested, whereby at once to
ailay the suspicion and rebuke the fanatcisn,
than to yield freely and heartily the Charleston
nomination TO wholeeo,Acd Southern man
1t would wash their hands Of all completely
it'wculd wash their hearts of all sympathy with
that REASONABLE crime and the mad passion
leading to it. 1t would condemn the criminal
at home il would reassurc the victim here il
would be a pledge to both parties of the hap
piest influence. ...-..
Let the delegates to Charleston weigh these
considerations we'll. There is no paramount
reason for the nomination of a Northern man.
There is not even one rcsGpn which can be
pleaded with any special force. But every thing
seems to demand Southern candidate. The
condition Of the north ITSELF no less than that Of
the south, Joins ID the same demand Let that
demand be beeded. The nomination, then. be.
ing conceded to the south, we come 10 the &C.
lection Of the man. Our voice, the voice Of
Louisiana, is for John slidell No superior

and was married TO Lord Byron JAM 10, 1910 During
her engagement Lord Lyron in letter. thus describes
her: Yesterday very pretty etterfrom Annabells,
Z" which | answered. What an odd situation and
friendship is ours without one spark of love ON
either side, and produced by circumstances which
:. generally led to coldness on side and
:. aversion on the ether. She is a very superior
woman, and very little spoiled, which is strange
an heiress-a girl of 20-a peerless that is to
:" be in her own right-an only child and sardnte,
" who has always had her own way. She is poetess
mathematician and yet whal very kind, generous,
" and gentle, with very little pretension. Any other
head would lie turned with half her acquisitions and
ga tenth of her advantages" She was the only
daughter of Sir Ralph Mibanke Noel, and succeeded,
Nov H. 1856 to the ban ony of Wentworth. Her union
with Byron, as might be expected of marriage with
out love, was unhappy. She had one child, Ada, mar
ried to the Earl of Loveaee. Lady Byron was Of u
liberal disposition, and among Der philanthropic gihs
was $3.50 for the Kansas Emigration Society. Her
daughter Ada who died before her, inherited remarka-
bic mental qusiries-smong Others taste for ma,he-
mates and was the particular friend Of Mr.. Somer-
vile, the astronomer.
