~ What the Chivafry Mean to Do.
u VIII DO recollected that the Enquirer has re-
pea'eoy declared 1t to be the purpose Of itself ant
'nose who have united with il in upholdng and sus
tanning the Kansas policy OF Walker and buchanan
to crush out those "actonists" 'conspirators ant
"distructionists," who have condemned and mad,
war upon that policy. But we have now counte,
manifesto OF equally solemn and belligerant i'm
port IRON the "chivalry from those who bav,
expressed their distrust Of Walker and denoun-
ced his course in Kansas with UNSURPASSED in
dignation and bitterness. The treatment which
tue ehNalry have sworn TO visit upon tn,
iriehds aud apologists OF Walker and the AS
mi'hsuanon, rs respects their doings in Kansas, il
laid down in the following fearful proclamation which
We lind in the Lynchburg Republican. After def

proceeds thus 10 announce the course Of treatment
which tho anti Walker Democracy intend to subject
the Walker Democracy to. Boldly and defianty, il,

their masters took snuff Iappears that in the case OF
the Walker apoogsts they anticipated Mr. Buchanan and
sneez,d bors he took snuff for il is certain from his
Siman letter, that he did take snuff-he never
did endorse Walkers conduct"
We consider the above very plain and very sharp
and very determined talk "7He true Democracy of
tde eountry"that is the anti Walker Democracy re-
presented by the South and the Republican," Intend
to whip in or whip out Walker, his apelogists and
hackers" What says the Enquirer to the taunts
and threats Of the Republican,? Will it submit
tamely and quietly tn the humiliation of being lchp
ped IN to- the views of the South and Republican,
or "shiPped O"t" of the Democratic party2 What
says the EIdminers Is it prepared to yield to the
naughty demands Of the "secessionists" "consplra-
tors, and 'distructionistS" and endorse their opn
ions ofWalkers policy, pack up its baggage, and
depart from the Democratic campr Which of the
sad alternatives, gentlemen OF the Enquirer and
Enrniner, will you adopt? VIII you gnominiously
cave in or viii you incontinently vamose: One
or the other things you required to do Which
horn Of the dilemma will you taker
The ''chivalry" threaten to whip Walker, his
apologists and hackers" Under these circumstan
ces, it becomes important to ascertain correctly who
Walkers hackers" are. Is the President his
'backer!" Are the members Of the Cabinet his
"backersi" Is Hunter his "backerl" Wise we
know, is Walkers "backer" and ofcourse, the .chi-
valry" will deyour him And with all due Difference
to the contrary judgment Of the Republican, it oc.
ours to that buchanan is the strongest the most
eectual, the most determined, and the most useful
"backer" which Walker has in the world. Why do
we think so? For the most obvious and cogent OF
all reasons-because Buchanan continues him in
Office and thus practically and in the most imposing
and grateful manner endorses and sustains his whole
course in Kansas And is not the retaining of
Walker in office the most significant and telling
mode Of backing" hms Ii backed" in that sub
stantial and agreeable way, what cares Walker,
think you, for not being backed" in any other
way? What cares he for the wordy censures and
denunciations which heaped upon him by the
South and the Republican, so long as he is per
mitted to remain in Office and enjoy its advantages
with the gracious and appreciation of the Pres
identg No. nO,gentlemen--Mr. Buchanan practically
and substantally--to all intent and purpose--stands
the endorser and hacker Walker long as he ref.

admits it in his heart The president then in com.

As to Hunter, he must be smoked out Of his nom
