the followlnjr report of Senate proceedings:
U. H. Cseiroi,, Washington, Jan. 2'.
RK.VATK.Mr. Line, of Oregon, pre
sented the proceedings of the Union meet,
ing held ut New York, ami rea I a I' lt r
from I ho secretary of the inei ting, stating
that Ihe rtizcn of that city Were true lo
the Coii'tltutlon and the Union, und winhed
the fact to be knowu. Mr. Lane expressed
tlio pleiiKiire it gave him to present thee
resoluilous, though he might not nitree with
every word therein contained. He hoped
them; niei.tings, us indicative of a sound
sent im nt ut the North, will continue to be
hell. Ho moved that the resolutions
adopted nt the meeting be rend.
Mr. Hale, of New Hampshire, objected
to their reception on the ground that the
Senate had heretofore refused lo receive
the mere record and expressions ol opinion
which required no action at tho hands of
this bo Iv.
Mr. bavis, of Mississippi, thought the
resolution could not properly go on the
files of the Senate.
Mr. Lone then withdrew tho pncr.
Jo Lane committed two blunders in this
iiiMuticc. First, lie committed the blunder
of presenting lo the Semite resolutions
passed by nn " opposition" meeting that
hud no sort of fellowship with tlie D ininy-
cratic party. Second, ho coininittcil u
blunder in ti posing tlio Satiate would
" pa.,s" the rcnolutioiM of u political meet

sentcd the Corvullis L'niou, and moved that
it be read and referred to the Committee
on Public Printing with a rccomincudutlou
that it be " passed" nl an early iuy.
Mistake. Tho Albany " Medium of
Self Difciise" says that Jo Lane is u kind
hearted man that bus a " (iod bless you"
for everybody. This is true so far as it
relates to his friends. He is always r'T.tly
to slaver all over every man who is in favor
nf sending Lane to Washington us loag lis
he lives. Put while he hypocritically
makes a great parade of friendship for bis
tools, lie is the most vindictive man rgainst
his politicl enemies wo ever knew, lie
cannot bear tho thought that .such a man
should by any means co:no in possession of
n single dollar of the public mom y. He
would turn a in.ui out of office to starve,
who had neither arms nor legs (witness t lie
case of Prown) unless the poor cripple
shouted constantly "tircntis Jo Lnuc of
Indiana." His malice towards pol.tical
foes corrodes h's heart till lie would dili'vjit
to seo the last otic of tin in put to the

did not suit him ns well us that of Oregon;
and, finally ufter losing Iwo of his chil
dren in San Francisco, ho concluded that
he would wend his way back, nml, on n
call at our office on Monday last, he snid,
"he should make Oregon his lioino.' A
wry wise determination, we think.
