ALABAMA AND ran DsIlsisrRATIoN,

III ~ ~ ~ " ~ A -
On Thursday mothins ast ~ presented our read
ers with series IL adopted BY the Legs
lature Of Mssisippi, ii n recent session, almost
unanimously coIademning ne course Of Gov. Walker
ID Kansas. In unqualified terms, and setting forth
that Il preaidsnt Buchanan endorsed and sustained
"a conduct i liz subordinate be would be equally
sp1n.be " ths condemnation Of the people Of Mis-.
ainpI. va now proceed to spread before the pub
n osffau enactments and resolves Of the Legislature
of Alabama, which unquestionably give official ex-
nression to the feelings of vast majority Of the
people Of that State
The following joint resolutions were reported by
lAe senate Committee on Federal Relations says the
NontgomeFY Ala.ls advertiser, and were adopted in
the Senate Of Alabama, by . unanimous vote. They
Win doubtless, pass the other branch Of our General
Assembly unanimously Without question, they give
expression to the voice Of the people of Alabama.
While they express unqualified condemnation Of Gov.
Wakcra and forbear censure Of the administration ut
present. it is very clear that if Mr. Buchanan in his
essage TO Congress does not give satisfactory rea-
sons for his apparent acqueseence in the cause of
Walker, he and his administration must come in for
an equal share Of Condemnation from the State Of
Alabama. There is no mistaking the meaning Of the
resolutions s5ss rlEs s
+ BE Il enacted by the Senate and House of Repre-
ssntatives, IN General Asssmbly convened, That
Robert Walker, the Governor Of Kansas has plain
", palpably and dangerously violated the principle
of non.intervention contained in the Kansas bill
First By taking sides in his inaugural address against
tho introduction Of domestic slavery into that Ter
titory and enforcing his views by an argument, thus
the rectitnde and impartialy which beftted his sta
ton and upon which every section Of the Union had
right to insist and throwing the weight of his Off
cia influence against the rights and interests Of the
the canse of freesoil, which be had thus ofcialy
espoused, BY proclaiming that the constitution ol
Kansas, after being adopted should be submitted fol
ratification, and b prescribing the class Of voters TO
whom only It should be 20 submitted, when the peo-
Die q Kansas acting through their legally appointed
Convention alone had the right to settle these ques
tions f0r themselves: Thirdly, In assuming without
authority of law 70 interfere with the returns Of the
late election, and thus, by naked usnrpaton chang
ing is result, and giving the ascendancy in both
Legislative houses to the party Of anaticsm the
party Of the for these unustiablt
and fagtious acts, Robert J. Walker deserves ani
receiyes the unqualified condemnation Of the State oi
Rssoioed, I'd, That the people Of Alabama pro
foundly regret the failure Of the administration tt
remove Governor Walker, and are wholly unable
upon tie facts nov il their possession e reconcil.
vention embraced 10 the Kansas bill but from ex
treme reluctance to believe even upon such evidence
that an administration elevated 70 power by the votes
of fourteen Southern States, can present 90 fagran
an exemple Of bad faith as an endorsement of the
course Of Gov. Walker would exhibit, they forbea
expressing any censure or condemnation in advance
Of the opportunity afforded the President by the ap
preaching meeting Of Congress to explain the cause
Of his apparent continued acquescence in the afro

Resolved, Sd, That the State Of Alabama recog

South win maintain to the last extremity the righ
