jim LANE PERFoRM!NG IN NEW YORK.-We
have lately perused portions Of speech delivered
in New York by General Jim Lane, of Kansas no
toriety. 1t would neither henefit nor amuse the
Southern reader 70 peruse such conglommeration
Of vllanous stuff. The following comment, from
the Cincinnati Enquirer, consider decidedly good:
General Jim Lane has been playing oratorcal
tricks at the Cooper Institute in New York city,
where he seems have climbed pretty hi. and to
have exhibited himself in proportion He appears
also TO have found an audience with tastes suited
to his performances; for the higher and more rdic-
ulo,is his flights, the more vehement was the mp
plause. When our parsons turn politicians, they
may be known by the free and easy way with which
they treat the name Of God and dispense his provi-
f,epces; but Gene raj Jni-who thinks little of God,
and is mot abeliever in special proyidences hopes
10 die and expresses great willingness to encounter
that event. in he can, by that means. incucaie
in the city Of New York N fair and candid spirit
concerning the institution of slavery
General Jims speech Is, as may have been ex-
peeted, abolition in the extreme lie believes that
white il almost as good as negro. He boasts
tremendously of his exploits in Kansas, and II he
Is to he believed si the war and all the politica OF
thai country have been carried On by himself. He
says that fonr thousand negroes have e:nigrRied
from Arkansas and Missouri into Kansas; and that
lie has aided twenty five hundred to emsrate this
year. ami looks forward with great pleasurc--wh;eh
seems 10 have been partaken In by his audience
to TIE time when the negroes viii be educated,
enfrADc b ised, and elevated to soeial and politi-
cal equality with the whites I'm that country
Ii H. OF little use TO complain Of wildly bragcert
like the Kansas General for his half wit,ed extfya-
gances but that In an Intelligent and polished city
like that Of New York an audienca could be found
to listen to and applaud such performances, i rs
n,arkabe. The only theory upon which 1t can be
accounted for is. that people attend such oeca-
sions to be amused sad when thsy wit.
