warKER susrErrEn IN KANSAS.

ThefoIiowing correspondence Of the St. Louis
RepsblicGs eoTroborstss the telegrspAie intel
Ggenee received and published by US day before
Yesterday. 1t shows clearly that the policy Of
Gov. WALKER, 50 far as relates TO the submit
ting Of the constitution to the people for their
ratification, is triumPbautly sustained by the
Democracy Of Kansas. This, it seems to Us
settles the question. Il will remain, Of course,
with the convention itself to prescribe what
class Of people shall be entitled to vote on the
ratification Of the constitution, whether those
legally authorized 20 vote for delegates to said
convention, OF ali those who are bona fde resi-
dents OF inhabitants Of the Territory at the
time the constitution is submitted. This, we
gay, is a question Tor the convention itself to
determine, and Mr.. WALKER's dietum can have
no influence one way or the other.
Warfare upon WALKER will Of course now
cease, and those presses in the country disposed
TO keep up the clanor on this WALKER-Ksnsas
question, must direct their batteries against the
administration and against the Democracy OF
Kansas. Gov. WALKEK has shown that be
has acted usder instructions from the President,
and we hold that it is unnanly to make war
upon the servant when he is pursuing the in
structioEs Of bis master.
We moreover hope that the President will
give ~ heed to the demands for W1LzER's re-
cal from the Territory. Should tins BE- done,
we doubt whether there is another nan u the
limits OF the Union who would undertake the
paeihcation OF Kansas. Three Governors have
a'readyfa failed, and should WALES also fail, the
G5vernorship Of Utah would be far preferable
10 that Of Kansas.
As to ths character Of the constitution which
tn Rsp1slioaa's correspondent supPOsss, will
1tEynned BY the Convention, we have no re-
marks to make at present
