Excerpt from Portraits and Sketches of John C. Breckinridge and Joseph Lane: Together With the National Democratic Platform, the Cincinnati Platform, and the Constitution of the United States Mr. Lane was a fearless legislator, always acting from a conscientious belief in the truth of his views, and following them up with spirit and undeviating vigilance. Those who are best acquainted with this portion Of his career, delight to dwell upon the zeal and tenacity with which he upheld the trusts confided to him, and denounced the wrongs which threatened to thwart his designs for good. He is, however, a man of deeds rather than words-though he does not lack the power to express his views clearly and forcibly. Never in favor of expediency, he was always for what seemed right to him. When it was thought that Indiana, overburdened with debt, would be compelled to repudiate, the prospect of the disgrace which would thereby result to the State aroused all his indignant energies. He would not hear of such a thing. He felt it would be a disgrace to him, as a working-man, with the will and the strength to labor, to repudiate a debt. What was it, then, to a State of which he was a representative He toiled untiringly to avert it, and had the satisfaction of seeing his efforts successful.
