GOV. WALKER IN MISSISSIPPI.

Since the national democratic party of Kansas have
spoken 50 emphatcalB regard TO the official course
Of GOV. Walker, the southern press generally are
disposed TO speak Of him and his acts in more con
cliatory manner and to Judge him by standard at
once just and generous. From temperate and we'll
written article which appears in the Columbus mis-
sssippi) Democrat of the 18th instant we make the
following extracts:
We do accuse Gov Walker of being a traitor 10
the South do not suspect any such thing We can
not believe that who has devoted than TWEEN
y years Of his life TO the defence of southern rights and
the maintenance of strict construction of the constit

and is declining into the vale of years prove
principle and to his duty and false to the whole course
his past life Such superstition strikes prepose-
rous, contrary to all reasonable and moral probability
Weremembcr that Robert j. Walker did more to bring
Texas into the Union, more to the nomination and
election OF James h Polk TO establish the princi-
pie OF free trade, tIan any living and we cannot
bring olrself 10 denounce and condemn him in unmiti
gated terms He may have erred in his action and his
language--we think he has-but we are strongly inn
pressed with the belief that his motives have been pure
and patriotic.

notices the diplomatic appointments from New York :

HEALTH OF Ex-sEcRErARY DoBBrN.

We regret to learn from the Fayetteville North
Carolina) Carolinan that the health of ex-Secreary
Dobbin is very precarious at present. He is debi-
tated to an extreme and very weak that it is i'm
possible to leave his chamber. This is, indeed pain
full news. Although aware (says the Wilmington
Journal) OF the failing state Of Mr.. Dobbin's health
for some two or three years past had still cher
ished the hope that restoration to the quiet of home
and the enjoyment of his native air. might have ex-
ercised a reviying influence. Apart from the nat,-
raj pride and interest which the people of the State
necessarily feel in those leading men whose course
has added ustre to the escutcheon of North Carolina
there is also in Mr.. Dobbins case feeling of per.
sonal Affection of respectful sympathy, almost PEI
cular in its character due less to the qualities of
the head than the hearta tribute to the kind gem
tleman, more than to the distinguished wearer
of merited honors.
