1 (Er Our humorous friend, Col Nolaud. ohos i Pete Whetstone," of the Gazette, has great penctam for joking. In his last weeks issue he gave Us fuIl credit for being very precise in the Use of words and "cuchcd" his criticism with one of IIoopyrs anecdotes. His readers were doubtless much refreshed after having perused the effort, and the editor mrch relresh- ed after having made it. An auecdote, how ever stale and indifferent, is generally well re- ceived, and we presume the readers of the Gazette are under ol isatiols to the editor for the amusement this one gave them, as well as to us for aiiordip5 him the opportunity of tel ! ling it. But we desire to assuIe the Colonel that We dii uot fly into passion because he endorsed ali ecttact from one of our editorials or because he did lot endorse the whole arti- cle, indeed we doubt whether anything he could say or do, as long as we can say and do in turn, would disturb our equanmity in the least Besides, we seldom if ever oct into passion, but on the contrary, frequently be- come amused at the attempts of some people to say spicy things orperpetrate witticsms The Colonel says he is not posted as to our autece
 dents; well, he need not loose any sleep on that account, for we have no fear that they would suffer Tn the least on comparison with his.- Nor IS there any necessity of his bursting in ignorance" for be 1t known to him that since these arms have had the pith of manhood they have used their dearest action in the tented feld"-of democracy. In conclusion of this passing reply to the Colonel's phiIlipic We beg to inform him that no "venom," as he seems to think, rankles in us against the Ame- rican party or any other lifeless thiug-and as to pizerinctuns, why if he wishes to see one, all he has to do is to step into the barber's shop near his office and square himself before one of Joes large mirrors, and then and there he will behold a real live pizeriactum

Spe .ch from Gov. Walker.

Hon. Robert J. Walker, the new Governor of Kansas, iii New York city, at d compliment tary dinner given another gentleman at the Astor house, made speech, the substance of which is reported in tho New York Times Tine pith of his sayings are set down as follows:
 The people of that territory had q clear and unquestouable ri .ht to decide for themselves upon the adoption of State constituti 1n-and any attempt on the part of any convention, or any other body of men, however respectable and iHhueutli they might be, to impose upon the terrltUfV a constitution not sanctioned by the popular vote, woul! be usurpatiou and wrong which could not ba tolerated for d mo- ment. Sp far a> the utmost exercise of his of hcitl powers aud his pers"uai Lhuehce would % 10 secure that result, Gov Walker said he was deteunired tie pe>ple of Klms7s sloahl lure aH opportunity tor ' tW, free a1d solm.n expression 4f Hsjr ,cW uyoH Me adoption q dny cut,tt1to hm n.gH be ttamei-oher ftr etld sflJ',ctDg caslsJ aFtle 5ona .fle udtobj- taat9 lrto micht be tn the te5yttory at He tlae.- lie considered this due to them It was part of theI inherent and La enable sovereignty. And he should consider 1t hot only point of law and of official duty, as an officer of the terri 1 tory, but point of Honor os C man and ge,Itle- nan, to do everything in his power to secure to them the lulI fair and undiSputed exercise of this fundamental right This he believed to be the great point essential to the peace and welfare of Kansas. If the people could nave | such vote, all dissensons would be settled. And he regarded all the past d,tlerences-the I contest about the Legislature, about the Topeka constitution, about the census and register of votrs--aa preliminary questions; important un- : IOubtellN but dpriViIv most of their rnpSp- ! Iuence from thcir relation to this great and
 paramount questionable right of the people ol kaisa, to decide for themselves upon the constitution which may be offered for their adoption. If this could he lroperly and slta,- ttct"rIy jus'cd, all the difficulties which now embamass the setlementof the territory would disappear
 Gov. Walker, we hlyc 10 doubt, will do all that he promisos. He js a man of energy and determination, and seldom falls in any ythIng he undertakes.
