garments. He abandoned the democratic
party after the passage of the Kansas Ne

up to the meeting of the Baltimore Couven-

ries.
The BRECKINRTDG E-YANCEY boilers make
a tremendous noise about the necessity of
Congressional protection to slavery in the
Territories. That dogma constitutes the ba-
sis of their politics. and their entire capital
IN the present canvass.
But let The people, before allowing them.
selves to be precipitated into disunion and
civil war about mere abstraction. look al
the course of these boilers at the last session
OF Congress, on this very subject, and say i!
they are not demagogues and hypocrites OF
the first water. The NatieaaI Lntetliqe,.cer. in
recent able article. states the matter in a
nutshell as follows
When in the discussions had in the Senate
of the United States, at the last session al
Congress, on the recent resolutions intro
duced by Mr.. Davis, it was proposed bv his
colleague, Mr.. Senator Brown, that Congress
should intervene tor the protection of slave
property stricken down by the Territorial
Legislature of Kansas, the proposition re-
ceivcd only three yOtes-so feeble was the
support commanded by practical question
arising under the. abstract theory by which il
was sought, at the risk of dividing the Dem.
ocracy, to m1intaia dogmatically the right
and duty of Congress to grant snch pro tee.
ton whenever it shall be necessary. If the
advocates of this doctine find no occasion fcr
its application TO the Territory of Kansas
they arc not likely ever to find any case il
which they will deem it necessary or prudent
to interfere for the Congressional protection
of slave property placed in jeopardy by Ter
ritorial assumptions.
We subioin the proceedings in the Senat,
to which the above extract alludes. Senate
DAVIS resolutions were under consideration
and the following is the fifth in the series:
.. Resolved, That if experience should a
any time prove that the judicial and execu
tive authority do not posses means to insur
| adequate protection to constitutional right
in q Territory, and ii the Territorial govern
ment should fail or refuse to provide the ne
cessary remedies for that purpose it will b
the duty of Congress TO supply such def
cheney.

Col. Davis and Gen. Lane in 8 so and


In q late number of the SUNNI South,
noticed the following paragraph:
''GEN. DAVIS AND GEN. LANE.-In the
speech delivered by Senator Davis, of Missis-
sippi, at Washington, few days since, in re-
Spouse to serenade given him, he is said to
have made a most feeling tribute to the mil
itary services of Gen. Lane; recounting tue
exploits of the old General on the field of
battle and particularly when the speaker met
him on the plains of Buena Vista, the Gen
eral wounded, the blood streaming from his
arm, yet bearing himself with a gallantry
and heroism equal to the Greeian cohort that
persisted with LeOnidas. Undsmayed, cool,
collected, with the flag of his country over
him and brave men under his command, the
General preferred the death of soldier, sur
rounded 10y such proud associations, to him
who would shrink, from timd fear, 10 pre-
serve the reputation, the honor and glory of
his country"
This is very eulogistic, and no doubt Gen.
Lane merits every word of the eloquent
panegyric; but there was time when few
plain. friendly words from Col. Davis would
have been far more acceptable to Gen. Lane
than all the elaborate enlogiums that he can
now heap upon him. --s
In the canvass of IS4S, Gen. Lane published
card in which he charged Gen. Taylor with
base and malicious fdlsehoods in that portion of
his official report in which he referred to the
desertion of the second Indiana regiment at
the battle of Buena Vista.
Subsequently, General Lane was appointed
Governor OF. Oregon by Mr.. Polk. upon the
election Of Gen. Taylor to the Presidency,
he was removed. In 1850 Senator Bradbury
moved a resolution OF inquiry as to the
causes of removal. Senators Mangum, Ew-
ing, and others, defended the removal of Gen.
Lane upon the ground that he had charged
Gen. Taylor with ldtsehood, and that, having
himself uttered falsehood. he was unworthy
to hold office. His removal was defended
upon tine open and avowed ground that he
had been guilty of falsehood. He was de-
Tended by several Democratic Senators. and
Col. Diris was appealed to. What did he do?
He bad heard his brother Senator's charge his
brother soldier with falsehood, and upon that
ground unworthy to hold ofice-what did he
do. He refused to say yea or nay except to
announce that he had refused, on two occa-
sions, when called upon, to write or say any
| thing on the subject s.-.t
| Comment is unnecessary. In 1860 Colonel
Davis, 10 burst up the Democratic parry. will

The New York World gives a statement OF
the style of the vengeance which the friends
of Mr.. Seward in that State are about to

determined that his success on that memOra-
bic occasion must suffice him, and that here
after he is TO haze no more influence in New
York politics, than if he had gone to Oregon
outright, and taken the Tribune with him
The plans for crushing Mr.. Greeley in New
York have been maturing since his slaughter
of Gov. Seward. Mr.. Weeds influence with
the local party leaders is greater than Mr.
Greeley's.

They would have been equally so had he
awoke to the perils of his situation three
weeks ago. 1t will turn out that no State
