erased at chair, and missing it fell heavily to
the floor.
"Mr Jackson said Roe. in the mildest Of
tones, 81 am going home 10 an early dinner.
Will you see to Hicks? believe he hurt him
self against chair" And Roe hurried home,
where he delivered an admirable grace before
meat A disinterested spectator of this morn
ing's incidents might have remarked, "What
an unutterable villain that fellow is" A" But the
subject of the insinuation would have rejoined
-'' Sir. am Richard Roe, banker and church
member"
On the day the loan was made the bonds were
worth eighty cents in the market, and Roe ac-
tually sold them for cash, thus placing himself
in funds from Hicks own property to the
amount of more than eleven thousand dollars,
and taking the risk of buying the bonds back
again, when the loan should be returned. Out of
this sum he then lent Hicks ten Thousand dol
lars at seven per cent. per month /; and retained
in his own hands more than one thousand dol
lars of Hicks own money. At the end of the
six months he had received from Hicks no
less than four thousand two hundred dollars of
spurious interest. Then, by falsely pretending
to have sold the bonds at fifty per cent, he
brought Hicks three thousand dollars in debt,
over and above his loss of the bonds and of
the interest he had paid on the loan. AS Hicks
ordinarily bought the bonds at par, his actual
loss exceeded eleven thousand dollars. of
which nearly one half was pocketed in cash

that proclamation was issued too sOOn-dO
you know that? The public sentiment Of
the South had to be agitated up to the
point of preparation before the proclama-
tion could be issued. l tell you that Old
Abe's heart was just as deeply involved in
the desire to issue that proclamation as
Jim Lanes was. [Applause.] But ssgac-
ity induced him to postpone the issuing of
that proclamation until it could be done
safely. And when he did issue it, it was
something like when the niger caught
snipe under his hat, and in trying to get
him out the bird few off crying" sca-a-a. {"
Yes, " said the niger, "it was the mar
rowest escape you ever had" Laughterl
We came near losing the balance OF power
in Congress by it.
CONCERNING MIsORGRNATION.
1t is asked what is to be done with the
negroes after they are freed. I have
asked myself if some of the politicians
who say that Mr.. Lincoln was not fast
enough with the emancipation proclama-
ton, would not like to have him issue q
proclamation declaring first, that the
negro is the superior of the white man,
and that every white man should take a
black wife, and every black man white
wife. [Laughter.1 I am the radical of
radicals, but believe that the white man,
if he behaves himself, is the equal of the
niger. Let any political party write the
admlxture of the two races en- their ban
ner, ard they will be crushed as by an av-
alanche. No, the attempt to admix black
blood with ours is crime against our
race. There were here some evidences of
disapprobation.l am responsible alone
of myself for what I say; and, though l
think it very likely that that opinion will
not meet the appreciation of every one
here, l believe that the mingling Of the
blood of the colored and the white races
will fail.
Voice" Would it hurt copperhead
to mix him?" Laughter and applause ]
Mr.. Lane-Well, they have been prac-
ticing it couple of hundred years. [Great
laughter
Mr.. Lane continued by advocating his
idea of building up separate country in
Texas for the negroes, and letting them all
live there by themselves, under protection
of the United States.
DIVERSION IN FAVOR OF FREMONT.
Mr.. Lane went on to say that he would
support the nominee of the Baltimore
Convention, whoever it was. He had
heard the names of Chase, Fremont loud
cheering], Butler, Fessenden, and others,
and to either, if he was the regular nomi-
nee, be would give a hearty and energetic

SPRING.

Springs glorious skies and breathings bland
Come they while war is in the land?
Or have mans storms but Winters sway,
And with its tempests rolled away?
The sun breaks forth its quickening ray,
Like April's, warns the lengthening day.
Its power shall soon be felt on earth.
And unto grass and flowers give birth.
The streams shall leap and frolic free,
The violet greet the early bee,
The rose will lift its dropping head
From Off its cool and mossy bed.
Oh! welcome Spring. thy smile can cheer
The soul in seasons dark and drear:
Thy wakening winds new life impart,
That lifts the burden from the heart!

SPEECH OF JIM LANE.
At LINCOLN mass meeting at Cooper
Institute, New York, ON the Sd instant,
Mr.. SPENCER, the chairman of the LINCOLN
Campaign Club, made few remarks on
the plans OF the club, and introduced Gen.
LANE, who was received with six cheers.
SPEECH OF GENERAL jim LANE
He commenced by thanking the au-
dience for their kind reception. Probably
some OF them had heard of him; and if
they had they had heard also that he was
an anti-slavery man. He referred to the
time when he first went to Washington at
the commencement of this rebellion Some
men wanted to move the archives of the
government to Philadelphia some wanted
to recognize the South. There was one
man calm and collected through it all
that man was Abraham Lincoln. Loud
cheering
LANES DISGUST FOR THE SECRET CIRCULAR.
He met q gentleman in the cars the
other day who said to him that there were
u considerable party OF politicians rather
against the election of Lincoln. He had
replied that that politician, or set of poll
ticans, who seek to thwart the will of the
people in the determined effort to re-elect
Abraham Lincoln President of the United
States will fall as fiat as if an elephant had
stepped on them, [Great applause They
have issued secret circulars with intense
scorh laughter To attempt to thwart
the stern, intelligent people of this country
by issuing q secret circular! If I had a
boy, said be, nine.years old, that would
undertake to issue q political circular ex-
pecting to keep it secret, / would disOwn
him. Laughter How are you, Pome-
roy?"] And so each and every one who
attempts to raise his puny arm against
the determination of the people Of this
country, so will lie travel the same road.
THE SOUTH MUST COME UNDER ILNoOLN's
YOKE.
The speaker said it was the right of
Lincoln to have four years of peaceful
reign, as he had had four years on the
rack. Our victory over the South was
not complete until they are compelled to
bow their proud heads beneath the yoke
of Abraham Lincoln. [Applause.] In
Kansas the people say, when they see
iIiou WIZ 10 uoCcIulluCU, AiS eyes u0
sot." [Laughter.l So the eyes of the
PEOPLE are set on Lincoln. He thought
the South deserved the retributlon of a Sc
cond term of Lincoln to compel the
wretches to live under his administration.
He liked tho way this war was being car
ried on now. So far as he was concerned,
he was willing to make this war perma-
nent institution. [Cheers.1 He referred
casually to Mr.. Seward, and said it was his
pleasure to say that in his opinion there
never was government whose foreign af-
fairs had been managed so delicately, SO
sagaciously and SO successfully as the TO
reign affairs under Old Abe and William
81. Seward. Three cheers for Seward.
FEW QUESTIONS OF RxPEDrRNoY.
He referred to the charge against Mr..
Lincoln that he did not issue the proela-
nation emancipation soon enough. Why,
said Mr.. Lane, we lost the elections Of
Ohio and Indiana, and came nigh losing
the balance Of power in Congress because
