SOUND souTHERN TALK.

That able, sound and staunch Democratic South
ern Rights journal, the Natchez Free Trader, in its
issue Of the Sth Instant thus retes and exposes one
Of the most dangerous subteruges the apologsts of
the administration for the foul treachery practiced
on the South in Kansas have yet resorted to for the
purpose of again hoodwinkng, deluding and deceiv-
ing the confding masses of the slayeholding public.

THE MOBILE Reasonable Register has been
claimed by the Washington Union as Of the South
Democratic journals that will support the admin.
stratiOn even if it sustans Walker. The Register

Now must abuse the Union of mistaken notion Of the
attitude assumed by the South We know Of no party in the
he Walke and We make prediction which we beg

Walkers throughout the South, sends in his
body Of the Democracy viii be driven into opposition"
The Register need not be alarmed about Governor
Walkers appointment being rejected by the Senate.
His name will never go before that body, in our
opinion. He will have accomplished all that he de-
sires before the Senate meets He will do all he can
do this month. And then, after he has abolitonized
Kansas by violation of the Kansas bill, and by a
betrayal Of the South-then we presume Mr.. Blu
chanan will be so magnanimous to the South, as to
recall him! But it will be too late then. We care
not how long Governor Walker remains in Kansas
after he has consummated his premedtated outrage
upon the South. No, Mr.. Buchanan must remove him
before the Kansas Convention meets or the Southern
Democracy will at once see that he sent Walker to
Kansas to betray the South and he must then stand
the consequences.
1t matters little now, we fear, whether the Presi.
dent removes Gov. Walker or not. removal, at the
present time, would not suffice to relieve the admins
tration from the charge of completely with his gross
betrayal Of Southern rights and interests nor would
it do us of the wronged, prosecuted and outraged
South, any good 1t is too late The poison, admin.
steed by professed friend has SO affected the body
polite of Kansas that cure is well nigh impossible
It is almost sure that it will go into the hands of the
Freesolers although the fact is as apparent as de-
monstration ITSELF that had Walker acted honestly,
or had the President disarmed him of all power of
mischief the very instant his sinister designs unveiled
themselves the South would have had fair chance
and probably would have possession Of that great
and fertile Territory.
The Free Trader is wrong, we think when it init.
mates that, under any circumstances, Mr.. Buchanan
will recall Walker We have reason to believe that
Mr.. Buchanan dare not recall Walker. We believe
that the fearfully cunning and matchessy unscrupu.

Washington presume to thwart him, Or attempt to
thwart him. in the accomplishment of his designs an

most humiliating light before the country.
We think we can foretell the result of Gov. Walk
er's mission, and we ask our contemporary to mark
the prediction after Gov. Walker "has abolition
lied Kansas by violation of the Kansas BILL and by
betrayal of the South "-atter it is sure the domn-
ion Of the Freesoilers is complete and ample, and
that, by no combination of circumstances, can the
South regain what she has lost and before the Presi
dents annual message is submitted to Congress,
Gov Walkers resignation will be forwarded to and
accepted by Mi. Buchanan, and he will be permitted
to retire for brief PERIOD only to be called to
higher station in due season.
For our part, as Southern men-Southern from the
crown of head to the sole of our feet, regarding
the rights and honor of the South as paramount to
every other consideration-we cannot help looking
upon the threats that the Senate will reject the nom
nation of Walker except as the badest kind of bal.
derdash. His rejection would not repair the wrongs
perpetrated upon the South-woud not heal the
wounds inicted-would not do the slightest pal tcle
of good in any shape, manner or form We don't
think this political quack plaster, so shrewdy
brought forward by holding doctors, will suffice
to molfy or assuage the excitements engendered by
his mighty treason. We shall all see, however,
