CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION. EtroBTiD ro Tan tat stTnxax bv aLro.v. Frit-ay. January !0. 151 The Convention was opened by prayer by bc Rev. Mr. Cooper. , Tba) subject of capital punishment beiug made the special order for this day was postponed until Wednesday next. Air Räuden resumed his remarks in favor of a State Bank. After general remarks iu reference to the question of banking, he said, the men who own the Wabash and Erie canal running from one extreme U the other of Indiana own oar bonds. They have the transportation if the produce of the immense valley of the W abash and other portions of the Stare. These men now wish to drive ont the pap r ui the State Bank and substitute a system founded on our State indebtedness, thus making them not only our creditors, the transporters of our prodace, but the owners and controllers of our banking institutions What would be the condition of the great farming interest, along the beautiful valley of the Wabash, under these circumstances? You might ask the farmer with his hundreds of acres of grain who was the owner j but under a stite ol things gentlemen would bring about, his only answer would be, I have a living from these lands; but the profits b.-l ng to the holders of oar bonds, the trauspoiters of our produce, aud the banks, and these immunities are lodged in the same in- ; dividuals. His remarks were here interrupted by the expiration of his half hour Mr. Pepper of Ohio then offered an aruemttuent to the . amendment of Mr Watts. providing that the State shall Ml be a stockholder in any buuk after the expiration of the 1 charter of the present b.-tnk ; uor shall the State lend its credit for the purpose of aiding in the establishment of any bank or moneyed incorporation whatever; ami that

the Mate Bank shall be closed at the expiration ol its i present charter. Mr. Pepper of Ohio made a few remarks iu favor of his amendment, showing the necessity of nefc provisions, should a State Bank Ik? established. Mr. Hitt advocated useful restrictions; but was in favor of as few details as possible in any system that might be adopted. Mr. McFarland had made some preparation for a discussion of this question; but most of his arguments had been used by others in t!ie course of the debate, which i had relieved him from eointr over the same grnund. Believing that there was a determination to have banks of j tome kind, a cho;ce had to he made. It had been contended by agentlcuiaa who preceded him, that the idea ; of free banking came from the commercial cities of the Wabash He. would ask, where did the proposition lor a State Bank come from? It came from those who had derived great benefits. The State Bank had exclusive privileges of loaning money above a legal interest ; at ; least, Met was the practice under the laws. They had Ml exclusive right to issue and circulate small notes, Which is denied to all others. He contended, under a statute of the State, that the hank, under an ordinary note, had the right to sell property without valuation ; a right uenieu to all others. He pointed to another law where the exclusive right was given, in certain cases, to take greater interest than is allowed to others. He cemplained that in another law the bank possessed the veto power, compelling this young giant State to bow at her fet. He asked, whether gentlemen had forgotten that Jt of the sixteen year's existence of the bank, she was four and a half years in a state of suspension, during which time her notes were at a discount of fifteen Sr cent. During this suspension, he calculated that ,600,000 had been lost in a difference of exchanges oa account of this suspension. It had been said, that a million had been gained ; but when we looked at the million lost, we would be just where we commenced, in this particular; and with a loss to the State of from three t five millions, traceable immediately to the bank. It bad bien said that the money invested in the bank would be repaid. That the reports show it. He would say nothing about these reports; but all experience hail proved, that bank reports had be?n altogether worthless. He then took up the report o:' the bank, item by item, and comm ned on e.tvu, contrasting them with the reports of banking institutions that had proved to be worthless. At this MfW of his remarks his half hour expired, and leave was refused to proceed, by a vote of ayes 69, noes 54 it requiring two-thirds. Mr. Borden then moved that the whole subject be referred to a committee of ono from each judicial circuit. After remarks from Messrs. Borden, Ritehey, and others. Mr. Pepper of Crawford moved that Mr. Borden's motion belaid upon the table; which prevailed. Mr. Cookerly said, for the lime being, he would move to lay Mr. Pepper of Ohio's amendment upon the table; which motion prevailed. Mr. Cookerly then moved that Mr. Watts' amendment for a State Ban!:, be laid upon the table; which motion prevailed, ayes 72, noes 62. Mr. Owen said, it had been agreed, upon all hands, that there should be restrictions in banking. He would offer a section to commence with, to which additions could be made, as follows: "Sic The General Assembly shall not have power to establish or incorporate, in tins State, any bank or banking company, or moneyed institution, for the purpose of issuing bills of credit or bills payable to order or bearer, except under the conditions prescribed in this Constitution." After discussion, Mr Randen moved to refer to a select committee of six; not carried. Mr. Watts moved to amend, so that all hanking shall be on a specie basi actually paid in. Mr Pettit moved that the amendment be laid upon the table ; which motion did not prevail j ayes 53, noes 82. Mr. Owen said, the question being on the amendment, if it is adopted, it will altogether prevent free banks. The bo bank men and State Bank men can vote down tree banks. The no bank men and free bank men can vote down a State Bank. This would brin to a stand still on the question. Mr. Watts had no desire to prevent hankiiig; but if banking is adopted, he wished it established on a specie basis. Mr. Colfax moved to re-commit the amendment to the bank committee with instructions to amend, so that ' the specie basts shall be dollar for dollar. Mr. Biddle moved additional instructions by adding that the specie shall be deposited with an officer of State. Mr. Stephenson thouolit that all that could uow be done, was a compromise between the State Bank and free bank men. In order to accomplish that object, aud 1 in order that a proposition of this kind might be offered, he moved that the am-ndnn. nts lie iaid tqiou the table; which motion did not prevail, ayes 4t, noes 80. The Convention then adjourned. In the afternoon, the Convention resumed liie bink question the pending question being ou committing with instructions. Mr. Niles again took the floor in favor of free banking. He contended that free banking should be established, because it would constitute a system safe beyond all doubt. The only danger in the securities would be. a restriction of circulation. He was opposed to the restrictions advocated by the gentleman from Posey (Mr. Owen.) He wished ample security to lie taken; bat he did not wish the hands of the ' Legislature tied up. as to the securities to be taken. Mr. Taylor was in favor of re-committing. He saw ' no end to the discission here, and little possibility of an agreement. He saw no good growing out of the MM moo, but to get wider span. He was convinced that the State Bank party to which he did not belong could not accomplish their objects. The free bank party to which he did belong could not attain their ends ia the Convention, and hence the necessity of a referMr. Hamilton belonged to neither the State nor free bank parties. He was for Loth ; but be had no anxiety to have the matter referred to the bank committee. Indeed be was opposed to that motion, but would vote for a commitment to a select committee. Mr. Cookerly said, this was a matter of vital importancea question in the correct decision of which would depend the adoption or rejection of the Constitution by the people. He believed his constituents were for the free bank system He bad fought for that system ; bat the Convention having failed to adopt any system, he was now for coneUiation and compromise. Mr. Ritehey opposed re-committing. After remarks from Mr. Halt, Mr. Colfax modified his motion to commit, so as to refer to a select committee of one from each judicial circuit. Mr. Morrison of Marion proposed the bank committee. The discusssion was continued by Messrs. Owen, Watts, Kelso, and Nave; when Mr. Pepper of Crawford moved the previons question ; which was sustained ; when Mr. Dobson called for a division , when the question was first taken on re-commiiting to the bank committee without the instructions, and decided in the negative, ayas 14, noes 127. The question was then taken on committing to a comof one from each judicial circuit. Lost, ayes 42, The question was then taken on Mr- Watts' amendment, providing for a specie basis, nod decided in the afinaative, ayes 99, noes 39. Tk question was then taken on adopting Mr Owen's section, as amended by Mr- Watte. Carried, ayes 79, The question was then Mr. Owen's section, as taken on the engrossment of amended Carried, ayes TT, 60 Mr. Smith of Ripley submitted an additional section providing that banks established shall be mutually liable lor the circulation of each other ; stockholders to be individually lieble in their private estate to the full amount of their stock, paid in or unpaid for all liabilities, and frets date of failure, to attach es a lien on their estates;

suspension of Specie payments to work the forfeiture of the charter of any bank suspending; no lank to issue notes of a less denomination than five dollars; every bank deriving six per cent, profit on stock paid in. to pay one half of one pei cent, for common school purposes, and when the profits amount to ten per cent, one per cent for the same object; and billholders to have the preference of payment in case of bank failures. Mr. Baseom moved to strike out the section snd insert: Th Legislature not to have power to establish any banking institution ; but may submit to the voters, at any general election, the question of ' bank.'' or "no bank." and if a majority of the votes cast be in fa

vor of banks, then the Legislature shall have the power to grant bank charters, or to pass a eneral banking law with such restrictions, and under such regulations as they may deem expedient and proper for the security of the billholders ; but no such grant shall have any force or etfect until the same shall have been submitted to a vote of the electors of the State at some jeneral elec tion, and approved by a majority of the votes cast on that subject at such election. Before the question was taken, the Convention adjourned. Satubdat, January 11, 1851. The Convention was opened by praver by the Rev. Mr Crumbaeker a Delegate. The resolution heretofore offered by Mr. Colfax, providing for the meeting of the Convention at hall past eight o'clock on each morning, was now taken up. Alter being amended, so as to hold night sessions; and that no adjournment shall take pla e for dinner, the resolution was indefinitely postponed. The section offered by Mr. Owen, as amended by Mr. Watts, ordered to le engrossed on ye'rday, was read a third time; when Mr. Owen moved to re-eommit the section, with in structions to strike out all after the word ''Constitution " and insert: ''All Bank bills or notes issued iu this State, shall be redeemable, at all times. in specie : and no law shall pass authorizing, directly or indirectly, the suspension of specie payments by any Bank or Banking institution." Mr. Biddlc moved to amend the instruction , so that no Bank bills shall he issued, until an amount of specie, equal to the circulation, shall be deposited with a public officer for their safety and redemption. After remarks from Mr. Biddle, Mr. 5unn of Jefferson said, that he was tu favor of a m.xed system of free and State Banks; but - - II f A 1 m as an alter- i uai-ve. would sustain iree Banking, lite State Bank men appeared to be delighted with their triumph of ves-' teiuav; out that triumpu was attained by the aid o an ally, (the no Bank men,) who might, in turn, leave them ! without any Bank at all. He warned gentlemen of such a resmt. The State Bank, when established, was the best in the country. He wished the opportunity afford- ! cd, to have a free Banc located, alongside of a Branch ! of the State Bank, that a field of competition might be opened up to the country, in exchanges and Bank acI mM as eonimouaiions generally. Mr. Watts explained the nature of bis amendment ! adopted on yesterday- He was in favor of a specie basis, bnt the details should be left to the Legislature. Mr. Conduit made an able and interesting speech in favor of a modified State Bank. Mr. Pettit was in favor of re-committig, because he was in favor of a redemption of all Bank notes issued, by specie. He asked, who dare eome in here and ask exclusive privileges? That man, who will come in hero, and will grant to the few rights and privileges that are denied to all, is a craven and a coward; and he who '-ould ask what he would deny to others, is a thief and rebber. He continued his remarks with much feeling and animation. ! Mr. Murray then gave his views at length, in favor of a well regulated system of Banking. It is impossible, he said, to do without Bank paper. He thought the safest foundation for Banks was State or United States stocks. He was not willing to leave the subject an open question for the Legislature. It was the duty of the Convention to decide upon some well defined system leaving details to the Legislature. Mr. Biddle withdrew his additional instructions. Mr. Owen then withdrew his instructions and offered .others by adding to the section, as amended by Mr. Watts, alt-.T the words "specie basis," the words "lor , the redemption of all notes issued." Mr. Dobson hoped that the section would not be recommitted. He hoped t':at the section would pass, and that the Convention might go on and engraft other j amendments. The free Bank system was like a potato crop, that was good for nothing until the top was , dead. There has been a universal rot in the potato crop I all over the country, for several veais, and such, he feared, would be the case with free Banks, if established. Mr. Colfax then moved to amend Mr. Owen's instrucj lions, by adding "such specie basis shall be to the : fall amount of their circulation, or the difference between the two shall be made up by ample security for the rc1 demption of the bills iu specie, to be deposited with ; some officer of State. , Mr. Dunn of JcQerson having been cut off by the rule, , in his other remarks, said, that he was in favor of giving power to the Legislature to adopt either the State or ( free Bank system, or both. He was not of the opinion that the wisdom of Indiana would cease with this Convention. Ho was sorry to hear the State Bank denounced on this floor, and those engaged in such institu- ! tions assimilated to thieves and robbers. The State Bank of Indiana has done well, with a very few execpj tions, and the men engaged in it have been of as pure characters as the rest of their fellow citizens. He then entered into a defence of free Banking, and the stability of the securities to be deposited. He contended, that iu an institution having the mutual liability principle power mast be given to accept or reject their partners ; or the Branches to be established. The State Bank sysI tem must necessarily be a close system, and hence his friendship for free Banking, that "the business wants of the whole country may not suffer. Mr. Ritehey moved the previous question, which being sustained, was first put on the adoption of Mr. Colfax's amendment to the instructions, which was adopted, ayes 74, noes 64. Liie question was then taken on re-committing the sections, with the instructions of Mr. Owen to amend. as amended by Mr. Colfax providing that the specie basis shall be "for the redemption of the notes issued, and shall lie to the full amount of their circulation; or the difference between the two shall be made up by ample security for the redemption of the bills in specie, to be deposited with some officer of State f which motion prevailed, ayes 73. noes 65. The Convention then adjourned. In the afternoon, Mr. Holman moved to reconsider the vote on re-committing the sec tion in relation to Banking, with instructions to amend, as moved by Messrs. 0en and Colfax ; which motion prevailed, a ves 68, noes 65 The question was then again taken on re-committing with the instructions, moved by Messrs. Owen and Colfax, and decided in the negative, ayes 63, noes 71. The question was then taken on the passage of the section, and decided in the affirmative, avos 7, noes 59 Mr. Walpole said, with a view of making a filial decision, he would move to reconsider the vote on the passage of the section. Mr. Gibson moved to adjourn. Lost, ayes 33, noes 101. Mr. Cookerlv moved to adjourn. Lost, aves 29, noes 92. Mr. Milroy moved to adjourn. Mr. Crumbaeker moved a call of the Convention. Lost, ajvs 4S, noes 85. The question was then taken on adjournment. Lost, ayes 35, noes 74. The President then adjourned the Convention without a motion. Democratic Meeting. In pursuance of notice previously given a large number of the Democratic members of the Constitutional Convention, General Assembly, and citizens of Indiana in general, met at the Capitol on the evening of (he 11th of Jan. 1851, for the purpose of taking into consideration the propriety of nominating on behalf of the State of Indiana, and subject to the decision of a National Democratic Convention, Geneeral Joseph Lane as candidate for the Presidency of the United States. On motion of G- F. Cookerly, Hon. James G. Read was called to the cbair, who, in n few pertinent and well timed remarks, returned his acknowledgments for the i honor conferred, and proceeded to state the object of the meeting. On motion of Major W. W. McCoy. Wm. H- English was appointed Secretary. On motion of Gen. Jno. L. Spann, Frank Emerson and Wm. R. Bowes were also appointed Secretaries, Able and enthusiastic speeches, which were received ! with frequent bursts of applause, were then made by I the following gentlemen, viz: Hon. John PettitHon. R. D. Owen, Judge E M. Chamberlain, Gov. Wriirht, Lt. Gov. Lane. Col. EDumont, Hon. Geo. W. Carr, Hon. A. P. Willard, and Maj. J. H. Cravens, all of whom advocated, in the most urgent manner, the propriety of presenting to the De- , rnocracy of the nation the name of Indiana's beloved and distinguished son, Gen. Joseph Lane, as the next democratic candidate for the Presidency, subject to the decision of a National Convention. Col. Dnmont read to the meeting a letter which be had recently received from a distinguished citizen of the State of Ohio. . CoLtTMsVUs, Dec. 3lst, IS50. My Dear Colonel: Are yon in favor of Joe. Lane for the next President T If yon are, ia God's name, give us a blast. The Indiana Legislature must now pass resolutions putting the old General into the field. A combination is on foot at Washington to drive the Democratic Party into a false ' position, end doom it to another slaughter

The young Democrats of Ohio will, I believe, come i up to the work: but Iudiana must lead the eolumn. Lane can be nominated easily, and as easily elected. I will return to Cincinnati day after to-morrow, ai.d I expect to hear from you forthwith. 1 don't wish the j General to give me any office I will have !.one from I him. But the Democracy of the North-west must have j a leader of sound principles, faithful courage, and true l heart. Joe. Lane, is the man. and the only man. Go to Indianapolis as quickly as possible. There is ! no time to be lost, "Brine thorn fellows to a fight!" I So said the hero to Capt. Lewis on the chase towards I Atlixco, and so let the word be now. Yours truly,

Col. E. Dumont, Lawrenceburg, Ind.

Joseph Lane for the Presidency in 1852, and report to an adjourned meeting to be holden on Saturday evening next. Mr. Pettit expressed a desire that he might not be ap pointed on said committee, and suggested the name of Mr. Owen as Chairman. Whereupon the chair announced that the following gentlemen would constitute said committee: 1st District Rob't Dale Owen, Chairman, S. Miller. C. C. Graham. 2nd District Elisha G. Eoelish, S. P.

W R. lOWE9, ) Remarks of Mr. Whitcomb, of Indiana, In the United States Senate, in defence of Gen. Lane. Mr. WHITCOMB. Mr. President I wish very briefly to do justice to an absent individual, a citizen of my own State, who, and whose friends, had not anticipated the imputation upon his official conduct t' at was thrown out the other day by the Senator from Ohio. I allude to the case of General Lane, late Governor of Oregon. The Senator assigned as a reason for his removal that he had delayed making a report for "a very longtime." There was no statement that he had not made a report, but merely that he had delayed it. Nor was auy exception taken to the character of the report itself, as to its fullness, its accuracy, or its being satisfactory in every respect. When making a lew remarks the other day, repelling that attack, I was, as I then intimated, not in possession of the facts necessary to enable me to do full justice to General Lane. I have since had time to possess myself I of some authenticated particulars, a simple statement of winch, in audition to what I tnen said, will be suthcicnt for his triumphant vindication. I now wish iu brief terms to place them upon the record, in order that the charge may be accompanied by its refutation. General Lane's commission as Governor of Oregon bears date as late as August lS,li48: and yet we already find him at St. Louis on the thirteenth day afterwards, on his way overland to the pacific. He had in the mean time, with that remarkable promptitude and energy which have ever characterized him, hastily arranged his private affairs, equipped himself lor a distant and perilous journey, and taken leave of his family and of the endearments of home for a long and uncertain perux'.. He had scarcely rested from brilliant campaigns in Mexico, in which he had won imperishable laurels as a military comm .nder, and the title of the Marion of the Mexican war, and he now. at the summons of his country , promptly dedicated himself once more to her service in a civil capacity. On the 10th of September, at Fort Leavenworth, he set his face west ward I y Ii r the performance of a long and tedious journey, over inhospitable wilds, and the snow-capped Nevada, then but seldom traversed by the foot of civilized man. He was accompanied by only twenty-five men, under Lieutenant Hawkins, of tho rifles, having expressly declined a larger force which had been offered him by the Government. He and his little command were engaged in the prosecution of their hazardous undertaking throughout the entire winter. All his horses and mules successively gave out, and he traveled hundreds of dreary miles through wintry snows and on foot. There was no privation or labor that he did not cheerfully divide with his men, even to tho cooking of his own food. He soothed them by his kindness, cheered them by his voice, and encouraged them by his example. Heat last reached Oregon with but nine men, the remnant of his little party, on the 3d of March, 1849. Keeping in mind the accusation of delay, it is clear that he was not obnexious to it up to that time- Finding him now on the theatre of his duty, it is natural and proper to inquire what those duties were. Among others, the act of Congress of August 14, 1848, approved only four days before the date of General Lane's commission, required him, in the first place, to cansc a censt.s or enumeration of ail the white inhabitants of the Territory te be taken. He was then to assign to each county or district the proportion of representation in the Territorial Legislature lo which it should be entitled, to fix a day for the election of the members, and give sixty days' notice of it by proclamation. After tho election, t devolved on him to appoint a day for the meeting of tho Legislature, and give not exceeding ninety days' no tiee of it. The first sensien of the Legislature was by law limited to not exceeding one hundred days. In view of the condition of the settlers at that time, who were entirely destitute of any covernmerit or organ ization except such as had been adopted by them irom sneer necessity in tueir primary capacity, Ueneral Lane s duties as Governor of theTerriiory were of far more importance than those which devolved on him as Superin tendentof Indian Affairs, andjchallenged his first and earliest attention. Especially was it his duty to provide for the government, the protection, and the welfare of that weak and distant colony, which had been so long deprived of the fosterii g cre of the General Government to attend, in other words, to the condition of the settlers, before informing the Department, at more than four thousand miles distance, ol the condition of the Indians. Giving the priority, then to his executive duties, and putting together the different periods established hy law witbin which they were required '. j be performed that is to say, sixty days' notice of the territorial election, ninety days' notice allowed for the meeting of the Legislature, one hundred days' notice for the length of the first session, and if only thirty days be allowed for taking the cen.us, we have in all more than nine months, which the circumstances of the Territory might require should be occupied in the discharge cf these important duties, before General Lane ought to have been required or expected to attend to the preparation of his report on Indian affairs. This would have brought it down to December 3, 1849, even supposing him to commence his labors the moment he arrived in Oregon, without an interval of rest after his long and fatiguing journey. But, independent of this consideration, he would have been justified, I presume, in postponing action in the premises, and remaining quiescent, in the absence of the formal written instructions which had been prepared for his guidance, but which did not reach him in Oregon until the middle of June, about three months and a half after his arrival. Besides, but a partial supply of funds was received by him to defray the necessary expenses, and that not until the month of April. What was General Lane's conduct under these civ ettmstaneesT Did he avail himself of any of these excuses, legitimate as they were, to defer action and to consult his own ease and quiet? No, sir ; the very day after his arrival he issued his proclamation, and appointed suitable persons to take the census in every part of the Territory. The t umeration was accomplished, too without a cent of money. But the want of of money was compensated by his personal influence, by the confidence ami attachment he inspired among the people, and by the zeal ir, the public service of those whom he employed. The apportionment was made among the different districts, the election was held, and the Legislature finally convened in the early part of July, only two or three weeks after the instructions came to hand ; and not until these instructions arrived were appointments received of sub-agents of Indians, whose duty it was to aid the Governor in the collection of information for the preparation of his report as Superintendent of Indian Affairs. Yes, of this very report,

now censured fr delaying "a very long time. fto sub-agents rec tv d their appointments to v.. assist him until tho middle of June, and yet it was determined, aad actually attempted to remove him by sending a commission to a successor, (a citizen of Indiana,) bearing date as early as the 9th of August following. Here, then, we have the late Cabinet, in the plenitude of their magnanimity, allowing General Lane less than two mouths within which to examine three hundred and fifty thousand sqnaro miles of territory, and to ascertain, as far as practicable, the names, location, numbers, character, and disposm ns of the various tribe and bands of Indians inhabiting its surface, and for his report afterwards to reach Washington. Bear in mind, too, that there was no regular mail communication with Oregon until June last. I nave said that General Lane did not wait for money I or instructions before entering upon the active discharge of his executive duties. But. sir, he was not satisfied to ! stop there. Although, as before remarked, his duties as ! Governor claimed his firs', regards, yet be found time, ; besides discharging them promptly, to give his unwearied and personal attention to his duties as Superintenden of Indian Affairs. Long liefore any sub-agents re- ' ceived their appointments to assist him. within the very month after he reached the shores of Oregon, he made a journey of three hundred miles, going and returning, to certain tribes on the Columbia river, on business ! connected with the duties of his office; held a "talk" with some of them, and succeeded in effecting a peace ; between two tribes that were at war with each other. ! In the following month, (May,) hearing of the murder ' of Wallace by the Indians on Puget's Sound, at some . two hundred miles distance, and that they threatened to destroy the settlement there, consisting of but ten fami- j lies, who where in hourly expectation of an attack, he ' visited that place for the purpose of putting it in a state of defence. There then no were troops in the country e.cept some eight or nine men of the rifles. With six of these ho performed the journey, (as he did that up the i . r J' v . . . . .F . . Columbia,) on foot and in canes. and effected his ultt mate object hy bringing the puiity to punishment by due course of law, and restoring peace and quiet to the settlement. Thus, sir, while the civil organization of the Territory was maturing under his general direction, he found time to acquaint himself, by travel and observation, with the character and disposition of the savages by which the settlements were surrounded, and of protecting the inhabitants against their murderous depredations. These are some of the important objects accomplished by General Lane for the safety and welfare of our weak and scattered colony on the Pacific coast, at an early period of his mission, in the face of almost insurmountable obstacles, and with very limited ' means. And so little interest, it would seem, did the late Cabinet then take in our affairs there, or in 'he struo-. gle in which he was thus engaged, that at the time of finishing his report, in October, 1849, they had not deigned to favor him with further instructions, nor, indeed, with a solitary communication upon any subject what- - i ever. The Legislature, ns before remarked, was convened early in July. It being the first session, and a large amount of business nccessariiy before it. it did not ad j journ until October. During all thia time Governor Lane was compelled to be at the seat of Government, j ready to aid and co-operate with the Legislature in its : action. Atid yet. sir, as early as the 22d ofthat month, 1 he had prepared his report, iving a detailed account of I the names and numbers; the number of warriors and j general character; the mode of life and subsistence, and ' the disposition towards the whites, whether pacific orhos- ' tile, of some sixty tribes and hands of Indians, inhabiting that extensive territory. This report was duly received at the Department, and as I have already said, no complaint has been made as to its character or sufficiency. Nor dees it appear that any particular benefit would 1 have resulted from Us earliei preparation, even had that been possible. Mr. President, I referred Oi a former occasion to the fact that General Lane's successor Maior Gaines with his family, were favored by the late Cabinet with a pas snc to Oregon m a government vessel, and at the pubIi xpense. I have since ascertained, on inquiry, that, although it is now more than one year since his appointmint. yet he. even he, has not yet made Am report as Superintendent o; Indian Affairs, with all the advaiitaoC of his predecessor s labor to aid him. And now, in the face of this array of facts and dates, the ground is taken that General Lane was removed on account of ;a very long delay" in making his report! Mr. EWING. Mr. President I did not say so. I did not say it was because ho delayed in making his report. What I said was, that he had delayed in makino a report as Commissioner of Indian Affairs, and tlia't there were complaints from the Territory. I did not say any thing about his removal further thnn that. Mr. WHITCOMB. I would like the honorable Senator from Ohio to inform me why he mentioned that fact, unless it had a bearing upon the subject of Itis removal? Mr. EWING. That case was cited as one of the removals in which there was no complaint against the individual. I said there was complaint ; and to the iuquiry of tho honorable Senator from Michigan, (Mr. Cass) who inquired whether, if he had been a Whig, he would have been removed, I did not reply. I did in the other cases distinctly, but not as to General Lane. Mr. WHITCOMB. Mr. President, if I have mistaken the meaning of the Senator from Ohio, he ought to lie obliged to mo for giving him an opportunity for ex planation, lor tenalors near me understood lam as I ill. I Tlit' Senn tul- fmm lou-M I f i TVutn-ol hart Jirnml,him as I j ill.-! it i-i i it, ii i , i charged that General Lane and Colontl W eller had been " ""-- " ....... - " " - - - . . i . I llll'l . . 1 ' ' , ! stripped of their commissions for no other offence than their political opinions." On relerrin; to the reply of the Senator from Ohio, as published in the reported debates, he is represented as saying, '-The Senator also refers to two cases of removals. General Lane, Governor of Oregon, and Colonel Weiler, of the lionndary ; commission ; and speaks of these as cases of naked proscription. In this he is incorrect. As to Governor Lane, no report was made by him to the Department for , a very long time after his appointment. Great com plaints were made against him from the Territory of, Oregon, and from more authentic and reliable sources, which the ExecHtive ought to respect. There were, ' therefore, reaonfor his removal, as well official as political. Now, Mr. President, I understood the Senator, hy these remarks, as denying that General Lane had been removed for hit. political opinions only-ns denying that j his case was one of "nakei proscription'' as asserting j that he had heen removed for official as well as political reasons ; and, as proof of this statement, that he went on t euumeratc what he charged as the real causes of his : removal. Tho very art one assigned was the alleged j delay in making his report to the Department. If this , charge was not introduced as a reason for removal, for. , what purpose, I repeat, was it introduced? In my re- ' ply to the Senator on the same dav, I repeatedly and I expressly gave the same meaning to hi remarks which j I have now done, and which he then let pass without correction, and I submit, therefore, whether by that omission he is not justly chargeable with what lie now regards as m v present misapprehension? However, I understand the Senator now to concedu that. ulthniiiTh complaints were made against General Lane, he was . . CI not removeu on mat account, consequently mat nc i would have been removed, (''proscribed" I believe was once the term,) however uuexceplionable Uil conduct, public and private, might have been, and merely on ac count of bis political opinions. I thank him for the explanation, late though it be. Had this course of policy been avowed by the Senator and his associate;; iu the late Cabinet, as applicable to removals generally, the resolution now before us, I will venture to say, would not have been introduced, and the Senate would have I been spared its discussion. Gentlemen ought to be sat ! isiied to take the offices, without seeking to deprive the ! late incumbents of their character also. Speaking of ' my own State, I am satisfied that such an imputation ' was not merited by a single removed officer witbin its ! limits, and every one, I believe, has been removed, whose position was of value enough to excite the cupidj ity of a neighbor. But I do not now propose, however ! strong the inducement, to speak on that subject. I m:ght, indeed, close here, were it not that the Senator from Ohio has stated that ' great complaints were made against General Lane from the Territory of Oregon," although it now seems, by the explanation of the Senator that they were not sufficient, even in bis estimation, to justify his removal from office. Tlie Senator has not thought proper te enlighten us as to the nature of these complaints, nor to give us the names of the authors. Nor is it pretended that the late Cabinet ever allowed General Lane an opportunity of knowing, much less of . , .. ,. tr ' m ... defending himself against tliem. Now, sir, 1 venture to say that no charge derogatory to bis character would have heen publicly made, for reasons that none could have been truthfully made in Oregon, where General Lane was known. In every point ef view they arc now ts be regarded as nothing but auonymous attacks, without point or specification, and consequently susceptible only of negative proof. But even that proof is at hand, and of a most triumphant character. It will be appended as a fitting conclusion to ray published remarks, and consists of sundry resolutions passed bv the Territorial Legislature, highly commendatory of the conduct and policy of General Lane, as Governor of the Territory, as Superintendent of Indian affairs, and as to the pnrity of his private life. These resolutions were passed as late as 18tn May last, after his removal from office, when he had atraiii mingled among hie fellow citizens as a private individual, and without official favor or patronage to bestow. They were a voluntary tribute of regard to a retiring officer, who had just relinquished tne power and influence of office to his successor, by whose appointment he had been supplanted. They were passed too, I believe unanimously, (and of course without distinction of party,) and yet tbe third resolution signiflcaatly expresses the sincere regret of the Assembly that the President of the United States had deprived the people of Oregon of the future services of one to eminently

which he is

useful, and who enjoyed the 'unbounded confidence ot thp rtAoolia ni-dr n-lh.m Un u-ac nlnAJ "

- - - i v vw . u Ii, " ti jraawv. Mr. President. I have done I ,t..i .1: :. it necessary, to pass an encomium on the character of General Lane. A simple narrative of his life would constitute his liest eulogy, the leading events of which are already embalmed in the grateful recollections of his countrymen. There he stands, the architect of bis own fame and fortunes, far above the reach of calumny. The shafts of defamation fall harmless at his feet, and the meditated mischief will only serve to rally around him the sympathies of a just and grateful people. . r JOINT RESOLCTIOXS OF THE TERRITORY OV OREOON. Be it resolved by the Legislative Assembly of the Territory of Oregon. That the course of Cln -Topn)i Lane, as Superintendent of Indian Affairs, meets with our luiiest approbation, ami that his extraordinary energy in that department merits the thanks of the 'people of Oregon. Tbut the just policy, coupled with the 1 areat firmness he has exercised toward the numerous j Indian tribes witbin the Territory, have secured the MM peaceful relatioi s with them, and that few could I have accomplished so successfully what his kindness, inInn.!,,. , J I 1 . , . . .

Resolved, That they regret sincerely that the President of tho United States has deprived the Territory of Oregon of the future services of one so eminently useful, and whose usefulness was enhanced by the unbounded confidence of the people over whom he' was placed.
