substance and fact the same-a party exclusively
ard zealously devoted TO the introduction Of Slavery
into Kansas.
Such, according to Mr. Able, was the history OF
be ProSlavery party. Under all its names it had
rema aed "sound on the goose," and the charge
that the Pro-Slavery men in Kansas had sold out 10
the Free Sellers was utterly false. Upon the sub
ect of Walkers appointment and the drift Of bis
policy Mr.. Able thus expressed himself:
"In regard 20 Governor Walker he said he did not
rdorse everything he had said, but was not prepared
to take grounds against him yet. Walker was good
manager and keen man, and he thought he under.
stood Linn. He believed, when Walker held hissecr
councils with the President and hs Cabinet thaI thsy
were chalking out policy for Kansas. The people
should remember said he, that majority OF the Gap
met were Southern men, and he believed that
mp to the Northern States after his consultations WIN
the President and all his talk North about Kansas pc
coming Free State, had design in it. The OBJECT
get himself ndorsed by the Northern press ana
the State papers in Kansas and after he had sue
ceeded in this he could put down the FreeState men
in Kansas by the strong arm Of the ana ,h
FreeState press in Kansas for his lustlication. lie
believed in Walker. though be would not indorse him
fully, and believed that lie could be managed very
easily"
Mr.. Able, it will be seen, thinks he understands
Mr. Walker and we are strongly inclined to be-
lieve that, in this particular Mr. Able is correct.
That MIR. Walkers trip to the Northern States,
after bis consultations with the President aud all
"his talk North about Kansas becoming free
estate, had design in it," as Mr.. Able says we
do not doubt, and in stating what that design was,
Mr.. Able seems to have exactly bit the nail on the
head. 1.-THE object was to get himself indorsed by
"the Northern pre.s such presses, for instance,
as The N. y. Times-"a and after he had succeeded
'in this he could put down the Free. State men in
kansas by the strong arm Of the Government,
"and point to bis Endorsement by the Northern
"press ard the Free State press in Kansas such
presses, for instance, as The Laurence Herald Of
rreedom-" for his justification" Gov. Walkers
recent military movement on Lawrence certainly
looks as though the Governor thought that the time
for beginning the suppression by the strong arm had
come; and even il the GOODNESS and sagacity Of the
people Lawrence should discOncert this maneuver
it's failure will not be due to any want Of will nor
to any "uns0undness on the part OF Governor
Walker
But whatever doubts there may be about Walker,
as to Ransom, ex. Governor of Michigan, Mr.. Cas,s
agent in Kansas, and the candidate Of the Kansas
National Democracy, alias Pro-Slavery party, for
Delegate to Congress, there could be no
doubt whatever. His nomination Mr.. Able regards
rs an excellent move. He was sure to get all the
Democrats from the Northern States to man,
while, "on the goose" he was as sound as Sur

AS TO the Constitutional Convention about 10
meet, Mr.. Able expressed the opinion that the
Constitution they would frame would be submitted
to the people. That as matter Of policy, could
not be got over. In fact, precisely the same rea-
sons exist for making that submission which led to
the assumption of the name of National Democrats
But then, "dus notice would be given to the peo-
"ple of Missouri of the day fixed for taking the
vote; and when that was done 'the people must
"prOtcct their slave property, and get up the same
"ftelibg they once had up which being accom-
plished, "hat election would be carried as easily
" as they had carried any of the other elections"
Mr.. Able does not deny that the Free.State men
have large majority in the Territory. But then
they-are resting in security on that fact. They
not their guard, and, properly managed, success
is certain He knew all about this matter. He
had ,pent q large sum Of his own money and had
raised great deal from others, all for Kansas. He
knew what was going on, and be did not doubt the
result.
And when we consider that in all previous Ter
Iitorial elections in Kansas, the admitted majority
of the Free. State men has not availed them, it
must be confessed that Mr.. Able has some grounds
On which to bese his confidence. At all events, it
seems certain that the organization ordered at
Topeka, ard Of which General Lane is at the head,
TO protect the polls Of Kansas asainst invasion
ire Ia Missouri, is by no means urcalled for.
