On the 15th . of April last, the citizens of this county with out distinction cf parly, decided to give Gen Lane who had iuat returned home from Mex ico on a short leave of absence a public diniier,and accordingly the committees w hich had been appointed at a public meeting went to work to accomplish their tasks. Gen. Lan was an old citizen of this county, had been sev eral times a member of the Legislature, had conducted himself we'.l in Mexico and won distinction and military fame?, and, while the people of other parts of the Union were glory ing over and parading before the public ofh cers w ho had served in Mexico and had returned home, calling meetings to welcome them feasting them and presenting them with swords and medals, the citizens of this county thought that some mark of respect was due to him; and the-Whigs, who are ever foremost to acknowledge merit, took the lead in the matter. threw out their money with a liberal and undertook and accomplished by for the most onerous part of the labor. And while the Whigs nere thus laboring to do honor to Gen. Lane, the Vanderburgh Democrat published an article which came nigh defeating the arrangements. That article took it for granted that although Gen. Lane was then publicly and in his speeches praising Gen. Taylor, pronouncing him an honest man and incapable ol wrong he would at no "distant dayactaconspicuous part in politics, aud "when thatc j came the Whigs would inveigh against him," which meant, if it meant any thing, that Gen. Lane would at no ''distant Jay", and for the take of office, change his tone in regard to Gen. Taylor change his course, which was then honest, to the opposite of that that he would for tli2 purpose of curn ing favor with those who have the distribution of the spoils and for the sake of office, turn round and abuse the great leader of our army in Mexico. This tin Whigs resented at the time. They could not and did not then believe that Gen. Lane w ould prove a traitor to his own feelings as expressed on divers occasions in favor of Gen. Taylor, and offensive as was the article to which we allude in other respects, the Whigs contiuued their subscriptions and their labors and the dinnei was given. And, as if to give the lie tu thisprophecy of the Democrat, and forever quiet all doubts in the minds of our citizens if any existed, as to the feelings and opinions of Gen. Lane in regard lo Gen. Taylor, he took occasion at the dinner table in a speech to reiterate what lie had before said in relation to the unfortunate difficulty of the 2d Regiment, p:acing the censure entirely on Col. J3ovrles, and never for a moment whispering that GtJi. Taylo: tras in the least censurable for any thing whether of commission or omission as regarded thai Regiment. This satisfied ell who heard himaud satisfied the Whigs that the Democrat had abusedjand slandered Gen. Lan. But time rolled on and brought at last peace with Mexico, and with it the discharge of la'rge number of persons who had fattened upon the papcf office. Among the number thrown oal of employment was Gen Laue. Although he Lad ben but a short time in the pay of the General Government, it was sufficiently long to engender in him a love for fat situations and a haukeriug after further spoils, and he held hiinelf open fur a bid to any situation that promised a return of these. And he was willing too, as he sequel proved, to earn a place. It was necessary, in order to break down and destroy the enthusiasm which wa Sweeping over the land in fa vor of Gen. Taylor, to throw discredit on hi off. ij report and charge htm with doing injtitice to the troops from this State. Gen. Lane was the man who could best do this, and immediately on his arrival at, home he was beset by the little locofoto lea-, de hereabouts, end by the bigger leaders of the party at Washington, to commence thwork. A Governor was to b appointed for O.'eoii that was thn pay offered need we

say the woik was done. Anil so lim "prophecy" then wade by the Democrat is now "history." The Democrat of yesterday republishes its article of the 13ih of April. We answered it.

on its first appearance as we thought itdeserv fd, and the Democrat republishes it,no doubt, to show us we were wrong then. We acknowledge we were we thought Gen. Lane honest, and we are sorry to admit that we have evidence sufficient without that furnished by his party press to convince us he is not. lie has earned a fdt situation under Government at the price of truth and honesty, and, if he can, let hira enjoy it. VAN BUKEN FREE SOIL. The Albany Argus coolly asks: "What would have become of Mr. Van Bu ret's latter to the Utica Convention had the law passed for which he gave the casting vote in the United Slates Senate, authorizing the post-masters to search the mails and throw out pestilent and iucendiarr matter? His let ter could not have crossed Mason & Dixon's line. It would have been taken out of the mail and destroyed with other incendiary pro ductions! What an illustration of his incon sistency and treachery to past professions does tnis remiuiscence lurnisuf Asnas Deen wen remarked, if Mr. Vau Buren is sincere now, he has been playing a part through his whole life, and the latter has been from the beginning, an uiiiuuiniru lit. The Rochester American, a strong opponent to the extension cf slavery, quotes this pas sage and thus comments upon il : When rogues fall out i. is proverbial that truthsarc Lome times told of each other.which midit have otherwise been withheld. Th Albany Argus und Martin Van Buren sered slavery for twenty years. Nor did they work without pay. Both were cuuniug, shrewd, able and unscrupulous. They succeeded in electing Gen. Jackson. The Argus drew a ha! fa million from the State Treasury, and large ums from the General Government. Van Buren was made successively, Secretary of State, Foreiiiii Minister. Vice President, and . resident. In every station, he was the un hesitating cervile, degraded tool aud instrument of the blave I ower. He became known as the 'Northern Man withSoutheru Principles, from the fact that he habitually sacrificed the inter ests of his own section of the Union, at the beck and bidding of slavery. We all remember his infamous vote in the U. S. Senate, in favor of a law, authorizing Southern Post Masters to search the mails, and to destroy all letters and papers wmch tney might deem offensive to the Slave power. Never before, was the chair of the State so disgraced. W e recollect too, the piratical alacrity with which he hastened to dispatch a national vessel to Long Island Sound, for the avowed purpose of stealing away the Amistad negroes, to be delivered up to their murderous Spanish masters. These acts, outrageous and infamous as they are, con stitute a tair specimen of Martin an Buren's regard lor freedom. "It is most extraordi nary tliat a siusle whiz should for a single, moment, think of voting lor an Buren. Y e ask such what trust thev can place in one thus stained by all the offen ces against freedom, which can blackea the character of a public man. "It seems to us the most extraordinary that any Whig, no matter how much he may have desired a different nomination for the Presi dency, and noue could have desired it more than we, can now lend himself to disorganization, the only effect of which will be. ifanv it has, lo elevate to power that candidate aud that party most adverse of all to freedom, and free soil. It is the Biruey infatuation of 1811 over again. un isureu cannot be elected. I he idea of his success has not entered the brains of madness itself. No other candidate to be nominated at Buffalo can carry a single State. Cass or Tavlor must succeed. That is inevitable. That every man knows must happen. "Why then, in the name of free soil, shall men do their utmost to extend slaverv? Can they do so and hope to save a frasment of reDutathm for consistency or political honesty.? -war readers win Dear us witness that we left untried no means within our our power to procur a different nomination. We honest lv believe that Gen. Scott, and especially Mr. Clay would have been more acceptable to the iHonle ol the North, and that either nf thom a - V could be elected. ButtheWhhl National Con vention decided otherwise. In supporting Gen. Taylor we perform a manifest duty. We sur render no wint of our attachment to freedom aud free soil. Least of all, shall we place the cause oi numan iio-rty to dry uurse with Martin vauburen, the most corrupt and selfish ol all alt American politicians, who. when in power, lost no occasion of sacrificing the in terests of the north at the foot of Slavery." Hos. Johs M. Borrs. The National Iotelligeuc.r publishes a letter of this gentleman, addressed to John Janey, Esq.,0f Virginia.which concludes as follows: While I cannot play the part of an active partisan and pretend that Gen. Tavlor is an ac ceptable candidate to me, 1 can say that he is tar preferable to Iren. Cans, whom 1 regard as the most objectionable, I may say the most obnoxious mail of a party whose principles I have warred against for tweuty years, and shall for 4orty more, il life, and health, aud mind, shall last as lon. Wht.n 1 look upon his course in connexion with the ;exican war, from which we have but just escaped with a loss of life that the inipes of Mexico could not repay, and with the honor of the nation impaired; when I look upon him as the justifier ud defender, in the U. S. Senate, of all the usurpations of power and violations of the constitution practised by the present Administration; when I "-e him bending his respectable abilities from thv high purposes of a states wun to the grovelling au: hi lion of a demagogue; when I witucssbis insatiable thirst for conquest, and his grasping rapacil) for the acquisition of his neighbor's goods when I look upon his huge dimensions, rea Jy to "swallmv all of Mexico" at a gulp, without without disturbing the rotundity of his proportions, 1 am constrained to say that no room for doubt remains, and that no alternative is left me but to give my vote to Geu. Taylor, and to take the chances, whatever they may be. I will not presume to offer ray advice to others; every man must take the responsibility of acting for himself as his judgement directs; all 1 can venture lo do is, to set them what I hope may prove to be a good example."

Zachary Taylor, so distinctly typify and foreshadow the doctrines and the policy which each, and the supporters of each, are likely to carry out, that they who run may read. Let us briefly glance, in succession, at each of these names, and at the measures and men they represent. Lewis Cass needs no biographies, for he has written himself down. His letters, his speechIpim" lj hh,seulSf,c.lhaP!rabouJ Louis Philippe, when one Louis was King and the other Lewis was minister and courtier conby Lewis the Presidential aspirant over the downfall of Louis the King: these have made Gen Cass known to the people, but not repected by them. It is more true of Gen. Cass than any public man within our recollection, who has filled the same high stations, that he has no moral weight with the people; their unerring instincts have taught them to distrust a man who shifts his ground as his prospects vary - and their honesty condemns the too facile politician who uouiu oe an muigs to an men. But although Gen. Cass has failed to secure for himself the respect of his countrymen, he has imbued them with a feeling of distrust and alarm as to the course he would pursue if elected to the Presidency, which is not likely to be readily overcome. General Cass seems to be a thorough believer in "Manifest Destiny;" and that belief embittered and rendered more intense by blind hatred of England, seems to animate and control his whole conduct. He is for familiarizing our free, peaceful, laborious industrious, thriving, moral, population with the tastes and habits of war; he is for annexing to our homogenous races, born and brought up in the knowledge and use of the rights of other nations, th iii:-onvuouv ness with our own of the new population ho aims to incorporate with us, are as nothing reason, rengiou, rignt, are 01 no avail against manifest destiny, the charms u( .nUut.nn and the chances of the IV-fcidencr.
