Oregon And Kentucky

The Disunion cundíanles tor the Presdency nnd Vice Prüsidenoy have 'een badly treated by the peopla of the Slates in vvhioh they respeotively reside Preparations are in tact being it.ade to give both, if not a 'bloody, nt loast a sincere "ivelootne to hospital graves." Dragon has ropadiated Gen. Joe Lañe, in advance ■ f the Presidentul election, and Kentucky, animated by and following this example, has pronounced a similar verdict againSt her fbrmer favor ite pon, John O. Bruckixridoe. There is much in this lesson for poli ticians, and partifulurly for aspirants to high places, to la. close to heart. Ii provea that no man - however strong he inay be ir. the aflections of the people who 8iirround hitn - can t.ike uinvnra "tabla hberties with h;s ovvn íriends, or with irnpunity place himstilí upon repulsiva platforms, and become the orgao of dangerous theories. Gen. Lañe seems to havo gona wild in support of the '.ïorsi proscriptions and betrayals of the Adminatration of JaMbs ciianan. He out Yanceyed Yancey, und believed that, bocause he had been honored by the people of the Pacifio eoast wiih high office, he could carry thern with hitn in a crusade upon the Union How far and how low he has fallen is provdd by his present pitiable posiüon I But the fate that has airendy overtaken, and the darkar hite that i sure to overtake, ung Mr. Bríxkixridqe. iarnishes a still more iinpressive oonn ment upon the text as we have laid it down. All his iqstinot, all hii aaaDcia tions and all his intere-ts, Were in thu diret;tion of uttuchment to the Union. He itiherited conservativa sentiments. O.i botli sidea his mcestors were the types oí that uevoliti'nary stock whioh looked to the continuance of this Republic as essential to the [.reservation of hu.nan lberty in all parte of the globe.

There whs not one ppeech thit he made, until unfonunately he allowed birnself tobo controlled by 'hu enemies ol the Union, tbat clid not giow with this sentiment. He accepted the Kansas-Nebraftka bill as thu solution oí the slave cuestión. H. held up Popo lar Sovereinty not niuiely as a loginal dediiution rum Ulo repeal ot the Mis■soiiri Compromiso, but as a rneasureoí j no lesa duu to the South than to the North ; and vvhon he went to Cincinnati ia 1&5G, as one of thü oh ief cluunpions of Steiihen A DotJGlA, it wus ruainly because he wns inspired by a sincere parpóse to roward tlie man who led bo oobly in subatituting a graat popular principio for that inuasure of nettlement which had becorno obsulete in theooürsoof time, and which was ro garded by many of tha first statesinen ot the country au an obstacle in the way of the adjastment of tho Territoriül question.
