the most influential democrat in Alabama, assailed
Walker most mercilessly The Montgomery Maa

be submitted 10 the meeting
Frank Noble, Esq, rose and said that there was
one of the series to which he objected-that whi,h
Tin o a quotation from the inaugaral) asserts the
right OF resident inhabitants" to vote in the Ter
ritory. Mr. Noble wished to substitute "cilizen" for
''inhabitant," but the meeting voted him down by
q small majority So the authoritative expression of
Montgomery meeting was in favor Of alien suffrage
in the Territories.
The resolutions were finally put and adopted.
They denounce Walker heartily enough and alraign
him on half dozen points, but they spare Mr.. Bu-
chanan.
At this stage there was rush for the door, with
IN evident mention to end the coacave but Col.
w. A. Sanford called the Gro vd back and offered
resolution, to the effect that "tbis meeting has undi
minished confidence in James Buchanan" Britain,
OF the Messenger, rose and offered an amendment IN
the soape OF pfOviso- that the result shall show
Mr. Buchanan has not authorized Gov. Walkers
course Britain maintained his ground in couple
OF very telling short speeches, declaring that II the
meeting really had the undmin,shed confidence IN
Mr. Buchanan, then its assembling vas q farce. He
Was opposed by Col. NJ. A. Baldwin and j. W A.
Sanford Esq; while Mr.. Yancey stated that, though
there was not "pr0Of' to convict Mr.. Buchanan Of
colluson with Walker, there certainly was evil
dence tending to implicate the administration; and
be should be false to the true feelings OF his bosom
il be should say be had come there tonight with the
the President. In cOnclus on, he moved that the
solution of confidence. and the amendment offered
by Mr.. Britain, be LAID the table, and il was doue
by slight majority.
After laying confidence in Mr.. Buchanan on the
table" the meeting a3jOurped, some with twinklng
eyes and some with iugubrious c0untenances. /, is
only the beginning, and each wing 10 yet afraid of
the other. Presently they'll grow more savage.

MATHIS CHARACTERISTICS AND aABlrUoEs.
Macaulsy says Of the Princess Anne that when she
was IN q good humOr she was meekly stupid, and
when she was 10 bad humor she was snlkily stupid
Her stupidity, though it might be qualified by Incl
Dental circumstances as regarded its manifestation
WAS stupidity STILL iDvafiable ard inviBcible. So
snti-slavely az the North may take the amiable
shape Of democracy at one Ii ne, or the truculent
form of black republicanism at another time; but
all the time 1t is anu slavery and nothing but anti
slavery, steadiast and implacsbe.
This proposition requires no special argument
when proof is patent aod examples are becO ming
70 ABUNDANT TIE truth is, so far as concerns the
South, for all practical parposes, there Is but
great political beast a. the North; and whether il
bray like donkey, or speak with for~ardand-
backward voice hike Caiban,i it is the same beast
throughout, With the sane ineradcaoe instincts and
pr0pensites.
There seems TO be peculiar elective affinity be-
tween the beast aod the Hon Robert j. Walker, the
ADMINISTRATORS proconsular pacfcatr OF affairs in
Kansas Indeed, the effect produced upon the beast
by the late lourishes Of the latters magic wand has
beer wonderful to behold. AL its forms rush at
quivocal praise. We have black republican jour-
halls in New York endorsing the programme OF the
new Governor OF Kansas. We have seen the Wash
ington Union delagiog him and his vety message
with its washy euogy. We have seea the demo.
craft, organ in Chicago, the Times, coDgrafulating
the democracy that Kansas, througa the Influences
of the said Governor, and under the auspices OF
democratic administration. would be engineered
into the Union as ree State But il IN needless to
multiply any further proof of the remarkable SUI
cess with which the beast In question preserves It's
identity in the midst OF apparent or nominal diver
sity and in all lafitudes and lcngitudes.
Fortunate thrice fortunate, is that the ablest and
hou es.est portion OF the democratic press of the
South is beginning 10 discover that the beast we
mention has got into the Northern camp Of the
party II not in the Presidential mansion ITSELF
Suppose that the administration has already APP
proved the Walker Kansas policy, that the said
policy was pursued under Instructions from the
administration, and that all this be rrefragaby
established is such an administration worthy of the
continued confidence OF the SOUTH because 1t may at
the last hour renounce that poiicyf If, after being
detected In his purpose, traitor desis's from the
execution Of his treason, are we TO consider him
forever a'er incapable of treachery1 We speak
only eticaly OF course II il for the Southern
democratic press TO consider how far the hypothesis
may be, now or hereafter, fulfilled by the distin-
gulshed gentleman who occupies the White House.
For our part we shall look closely after he beast
Aforesaid and point oct his tracks, IL they lead
into Presidential precincts
IFrom the jackson Mss.ssippiaa-Dcm
that all hat has been said OF Walkers free soil aft

But r. j. Walker, the man long citizen OF The
South, whom Mississippi honorsd with place and
emoument, trusting him with her precious desti.

goal of the nations presidency, percepu1le t. him
only through the dismal vista OF free SOIL has pros
tuted great trust anu sold the South that the aims
OF sn uniDprincipled ambition might be subserved.
Even 10 rank WIN the aporsafe Fremont he ~ I'M

hrs disgrace, a by-word on every southern lip aud
the contempt and hate OF that national PATRIOTISM
which he has betrayed.

II In well for the administration 10 realize TIA the

ali over rhe South Is sincere and earnest, and mast

shall not be defeated with immunity; The principles
OF the Kansas Nebraska bill shall nos be rendered a
sham and a cheat by the action OF Governor. rbe

anxiety, yet sith much confidence the action Of the

From the Augusta (Ga) Ocnstitu'lopslist

of the dagger OF Brutus and the axe OF Cromwell

well known TO Mr.. Buchanan and his Cabinet before
