Unless The opponents OF the present Administration
| and of the national Democracy are blinded by excess
OF venom, they must admit that the pro.savery par
ty and the States Right Democracy OF Kansas, are
of all men, the best judges Of The interests and rights
Of the citizens Of that territory. Even those who
have gra.uitously denounced WALKER rs "traitor"
10 the proslavery party in Kansas, scarey venture
to denounce the brave and determined mon who have
shed their blood OIL the soil of Kansas in defence OF
our Institutions as "traitors to the South" The ao'
surdiy OF saying that the proslavery party Of Kan
sas not better Judges of their interests than
the secessonists Of Georgia and Mississippi is so
grent that no one will hazard such al opinion
Tie endorsstion of the Administration and of Gov.
ernor WALKER by tho Democracy and pro.slavery
men OF Kansas furnishes the most conclusive ev.
lsnce Of the satisfaction which his course has pro
duced in that territory Governor endorsed by the
friends of SrRIyGFELLow and ArCHisoS, cannot be
either free soiler Oil enemy Of slavery. Govern
or Walker stands before The country endorsed by the
pro slavery party of Kansas. An attempt upon the
part of few impractcabcs in Kansas to coudemn
him was strongly rebuked by Hi overwhelming vote
in convention of proslavery men and national De-
mocrats. The circle of traitors to the South
we suppose, now embraces the friends OF String
fellow Hud Atchison, as well rs Waher.-
According 10 the secossionsts of Georgia and Mssis
sppi, the who have for years been defending The
soil OF Kansas from the esoers no longer wor

stands proudly before the country endorsed by those
who have upheld the course Of the South in Kansas

If there are in this country any proslavery men,
who, from their position and interests, were belter
than all others calculated to feel the slight
cat nrracton Of their rights, the prosavery party Of
Kansas are the men. To them alone Of The millions
of the United States have all the acts of Governor
Walker a practical vital importance. Having fought
the battles of the South, in Kansas having vndicated
their devotion to our institutions by exposing their
lives in defence Of slavery, it is insulting TO say that
they, like Walker, are traitors.
They have studied the Kansas question more tho.
roughly than all the declamaiory orators of the opo.
son put together. They have guarded the interests
of the South as sentines guard the walls of a be.
seged city, with muskets in their hands. They are
not the holiday sodiers who have illustrated their
devotion Kansas only by carefully prepared decla
nations. They are the men who, in block-houses, by
camp fires, and in the forests and praires Of kandas,
have defended the rights Of the South with the rifle
and the sword.
The pro slavery Kansas men who have recently
endorsed Walker, are the men who have never al
lowed the influence Of the Govcrnorof Kansas. sus'
pected of free.soilsm TO damage the cause OF the
South The men of kansas who now endorse Walker
and stand by the glorious administration ofJames Buc.
hanan, are the men who drove from the territory
RgEDER and GEARY, when their treason TO the Souih
stood confessed. In the recent Convention at lie
compton when the question of endorsing Gov. WALK
Err was brought before the Convention there was but
ONE MAN who agreed with the nitras Of Georgia aud
Mississippi.
What right have the people Of States remote
from the OF The struggles and battles OF hansas
TO sit in judgement upon the proceedings OF the
pro.slavery party? Do men who have never put
foot on her Territory who have never studied calmly
her wants and condition, propose to denounce rs
traitor he who the proslsvery men of Kansas regard
as their friends Must the voice of Kansas be sfsd!
Must the secession party OF Georgia and Mississippi
not content with Outlawing Gov Walker, proceed TO
excommunicste the pro-slavery party OF Kansas =
Must StringfeIow have the bow string drawn around
his II eek and all the " border rutaus from The slave
States be tried and condemned by conventions in
Mississippi aud in Georgia!
Failing TO find the slightest encouragement i. .ths

having endorsed Gov. Walker We fear that the enc
mics of Gov. Walker will be at loss TO find any
body in Kansns who is not traitor to the South.

ed the spirit OF the Georgia utras in the late Con-
yeution at L.compton, we fear that all the rest are
detected with "y,ea.oa anil G're<0Iasm." There are
il il true few s'uira" gentlemen of the Northern
colony, near Topeka, who regard Walker as "dic.
tator and ssrap," but Georgia friends have ess
sifiliaton with those enemies Of Walker than they
have with Walker himself.
For ourselves feeling assured that the pro-savery
