Mr. BuchRnan's Conservative Kansas Policy
Ho4tility OF Northern and Southern Ultras.

1t is abundantly manifest that Mr.. Buchanan's
conservative Kansas policy has placed him under
the cross fire of the two most mischievoIs dis
union factions Of the Countrywide Seward mig
ger worshippers CT the North, aud the secession
niger drivers of the South.
The Southern organs in the interest Of the &C.
cession Ere eaters for come weeks past have been
painting Governor Walker, of Kansas as one of
the blacklist and most upprincipled scoundrcls Of
these degenerate times. They tell US that he is
dishonorable bankrupt aud an INSCRIPTIONS
political trader; that Mr.. Stanton, his Secretary
Of STATE, is a diseased Southern potato Of the
fame kidney, and that both have sold themselves
TO the aboltionists to make Kansas free State
through the hocus pocus operation Of submitting
the State Constitution TO a vote of the people.
The Northern anti-slavery organs of Mr.. Seward,
On the other hand, can detect nothing but treach-
cry to freedom in the sayings and doings of
Walker and Stanton: can only recognize these
two executive officers as a slippery pair Of
snakes in the grass and their professions of fair
play as nothing but cunning hypocrisy and deli
berate swindlirg.
