WALKERS DEFENcE.-lf, under the mountain
of words which Mr.. Walker has piled up we get
at the point of his defence, it is simply that slave
ry could not possibly exist in California, without
positive law Grating it, and hence, as his propo-
scd amendment did not create it, it is not liable TO
the objections which have been urged aga: nst it,
In this Mr.. Walker simply begs the whole point
in dispute. The Legislature Of this state which
elected Mr.. Walker, knew all about this matter
when they instructed him to 90 for no bill which
did not contain a prohibition of slavery, and Mr..
Walker knew it when he made his protestatons
on the subject, SO we do not see that he escapes
the imputaon of violating his Oft repeated pledg-
es and Instructions Mr. Walkers proposition
really was of the same character that all southern
propositions on the subject have been, and the
south came up to its support naturally, while the
north as naturally opposed it; and now in justi-
fication, Mr.. Walker, at this late day, comes out
with II column defence TO prove what was ar
gued thrcadbare year ago, that slavery cannot
exist in California without positive law creating
it. Really, he must have most extraordinary
idea of the Intelligence of his constituents.
