Governor Walker.

Gov. H.. d. WAGER mas arrived IN
Kansas and taken upon himself a task
in which all his predecessors have sig
nally failed. We think, however,
that he will be more successful. He
has refused to make stump speeches
for the Black Republicans to misquote
and garble; but, when asked to speak,
refers to his Inaugural Address, in
which his sentiments are fully set
forth.
The Governor, in seeking to impress
upon the mind of every citizen inte-
rested, the importance of taking part
in the election of delegates, and after
action, when the question of ratiica-
ton is to be decided, uses the follow
ing clear and concise language.
"The Territorial Legislature, then,
in assembling this Convention were
fully sustained by the act of Congress,
and the authority of the convention is
distinctly recognized in my instruc.
lions from the President of the United
States. Those who oppose this course
cannot aver the alleged irregularity Of
the Territorial Legislature, whose
laws, in town and city elections, in
corporate franchises. and on all other
subjects but slavery, they acknowl'
edge by their votes and ac~quiescence.
If that Legislature was invalid, then
are we without law or order in Kan,
sas-without town, city or county Or
~ganization; all legal and judicial trans
actions are void, all titles null, and
anarchy reigns throughout Our Dor
ders.
SIT is my duty, in seeing that all
constitutional laws are fairly executed,
to take care, as far as practicable, thai
this election of Delegates to the Con
vention shall be free from fraud and
violence, and that they shall be pro-
tected in their deliberations.
"Tho people Of Kansas, then are in
vited by the highest authority known
to the Constitution to participate free
ly and fairly in the election Of Dele
gates to frame a Constitution and State
Government. The law has performed
its entire appropriate function when
it extends to the people the right of
suffrage; but it cannot compel the per-
formance of that duty. Throughout
our whole Union, however, and wher-
ever free government prevails, those
who abstain from the exercise of the
right Of suffrage authorize those who
do vote to act for them in that contin-
gency, and the absentees are as much
bound underline law and the Constitu-
ton, where there is no fraud or VIC.
%lence, by the act of the majority Of
those who do vote, as though all had
participated in the election. Other
wise, as voting must be voluntary,
self.government would be impractical
bis, and monarchy or despotism would
remain 40 the only alternative"

LawIessness and DcmOcrncy

The mob violence at Louisville, at
Washington and in our own State
may be traced to the Anti Democratic
tendency, and consequent disregard
OF law and the authority which char.
acterizes Black epublicanism and
Know-N othingism. They are all fruits
ofthe same tree, manifestations Of the
same violent and reckless determin.
alton to override the popular will,
by overthrowing the law and the con-
stitutional authorities. Mobocracy is
one Of the bittereSt enemies Of Democ-
racy. For a long time, aristocracy
or conservatism, as it is falsely called,
was the antagonistic element to De-
mocracy. Now the Protean foe takes
the shape of the many-headed hydra
of mob violence and lawlessness.-
The claims Of Democracy to the char.
acter and title OF the party Of law and
order-of true conservatism-are now
indicated. There are no mobs where
the Democracy have the control.
II is in localities like Greene, CLARK,
Champaign counties in Ohio, where
Black Republicanism prevails--in
Louisville, New Orleans and Wash.
ington City, (the latter controlled by
the mob from Baltimore,) where Know
Nothingism runs riot--that mob vic
lence and domination prevail, the law
is set aside and its ministers tramplet
upon. This distinction grows out o
the very nature Of these opposing pc
litical organizations. Democracy il
based on the right of the people,
the majority to govern. The othe.
parties are trying by force or fraud t,
Dust the many and transfer the govern
ment tO the select few. Hence thu
one respects and obeys the law of tn,
people, and the other is ever %strivin!
to bring them into contempt. Thes,
lamentable disturbances have but on,
remedy, and that is a return to tn
Democratic idea and principle Gin

Virginia.

The Virginia elections present but
one feature, and that a very brilliant
one, to wit: The overwhelming over
throw and extinction Of the last effort
to move this ever true old common.
wealth from her Democratic moorings.
KNOWN othingism must bear the in.
fanny Of this last and most thorough
defeat ever yet inflicted upon the OPP
position to the Democracy in that ever
true State. Old Whiggery, with its
many chivalric qualities, its brilliant
theories and its conservative ideas,
must bear off all the honors of even a
sturdy and vigorous fight against the
Democracy Of Virginia. No other
party has ever been able to make a
stand in that State against the princi.
pies and policy Of Jefferson; least OF
all, could a party, which has no other
basis or idea but that of prescribing
the poor immigrant and Catholic, in
violation of the principle and policy
Of the Government from its foundation.
There is scarcely any evidence now
left that such a party ever existed in
Virginia. It has been swept into OBJ
livion.
Twenty years hence a Know-Noth-
ing will be regarded as a traditional
or NEUROLOGICAL character. He will
be spoken Of as Hector and Achilles,
Ajax and Thersites, now are, of whom
the most learned scholars have found
it difficult to determine whether they
were real or imaginary beings.
1t is useless to sum up the p%articu-
lars Of the last great victory of the De-
mocracy. 1t is the most complete that
was ever achieved. All the members
Of Congress, tour-fifths OF the legisla-
tors, Attorney General and other State
officers are all Democratic. Richmond
City, for thirty years the head. quar-
tiers Of the Anti Democratic party, has
at last yielded to a party which has
grown from aSpartan band to a Ma
cedonian phalanx. The Democracy
carrying that city must appear indeed
supremacy ridiculous to the old Wig
newspaper. No longer let the En-
qujrer and the South abuse Bolts; he
has been a great blessing to Virginia
and the Democracy. May our oppo-
nents always and everywhere have a
Bolts to lead and ruin,-Cin. Enq.

Some Signs Of a Government.

The New York Mirror Opposition
says:
"Tho promptness with which the
President Of the United States order,
ed out the military to put down the
election riot in Washington, and the
decided and vigorous instructions Civ,
en- to the Federal authorities of Ohio,
are cheering indications that we have
a government over us, and a live Elk
ecutive at the head of it. Let every
violation of the laws be met, as Napo.
leon met the mob in Paris, and there
will be less rebellion spouted from
pulpits, poured forth in the columns
ofthe newspapers, or demonstrated by
the smashing Of ballot boxes. In the
midst of a lawlessness and disorgan-
ization, bordering upon absolute an.
archy, We are glad to find in the head
ofthe nation a man who, like the in
domitable Jackson, is not afraid to
take the responsibility of intorcing
the laws ofthe land. Let all election
rioters, niger Stealers and nullifers,
Of all classes and compilations be treat
ed to a traitors doom, and we shall
soon be the most peaceful and law
loving people on the earth"
