We regret to learn that the prosperity of the Order in
this State has, to extent, been affected by the
prevailing epidemic of hard times We trust that it
will not suffer permanently.
Governor Walker.
That any Southern man can cOnscientiOusly support
the course of Gov. Walker in Kansas as atterly de-
veloped we do not believe In the earlier stages of his
operations, although there faint indications
of spirit opposed to Southern interests we did not
believe that he would far forget his honor the
principles of his party the instructions of the President
the rights of the South and the requirements of his oath
as to take sides with one the other party to usup
authority not vested in him delegated to him, and
to prove recreant to the high trust repOsed in him by
the people of the South-for have it from the most
unquestionabe authority, that Robert j. Walker
urged upon the President by Southern men of the
highest standing and influence and that his appointment
came rather from such recommendations than from any
very particular decided confidence in his ealty to
constitutional principles on the part of Mr. Buchanan
In opposition nearly the whole Southern democratic
press, we defended Gov Walker at time when the
entire democracy of the Southern country seemed allied
against him. Perhaps in the warmth of our advocacy
we did injustice to some of friends. We sorry
for it. We confess to having said more than otherwise
we would.
We acknowledge the business of the views of many
of our democratic contemporaries to whom at the time
we may have applied harsh words We particular
ly disposed to apologize to our brother of the Whining
ton Journal and trust that he will at least give us
credit for sincerity when say that he was RIGHT and
ucrong although par parenhesiS, we say that
we did not intend to apply to him any Of our harsher
terms)
Walkers recall is perhaps quite probable. But it is
too late. The mischief is done. He has accomplished
his purpose-which doubtless was to make capital with
the northern democracy by clOakng his Interior ne
tons beneath the false veil of administrative nstruc
tons to deceive both sections of the party and place
national construction upon his motive
Much OF the Southern democracy was deceived and
bambOOzled by his representatlOnSbu the mask IS
torn off, and no who is not blinded to the rights,
interests and honor of the South say nothing of
the constitution and the Union and inseperable,
can hold up his hand in favor eXtenuatiOn of Robert
j. Walker He has deceived the South and the admin
istration
His motives are selfish and ambitious, without sin
gle tinge of true democracy and only regret that
were weak and short-slghted enoUg h to repose a
moments confidence in his patriotism and his feay to
the constitution and the Union His recall at present
will accomplish no practical good.
The evil is beyond redemption. Yet he should be
removed and if he is not, predict that the admins
tration will not have single Southern friend in Con-
gress That may not be a very serious threat to the
present administration. For the last twenty years it
has been arccal to speak of Southern opposition to the
administration. But it will be serious this time and
if not greatly mistaken the issue in the next
Congress will not be between political parties as arayed
in the last popular contest but between Southern rights
on the one hand and the administration on the other.
There have been no prO-admlnStratlOn democrats
elected to Congress in the South since Kansas affairs
have been made the test and the administration has been
thus far virtually repudated by the Southern democra
cy How far that hostility and epudiation is to extend
we may not say But the future is pregnant with mo-
mentous results.-Fayetteu1le CarOllnaan.
We take pleasure in assuring friend of the Caro-
lnlan that we doubted his devotion to the true
principles of Democracy the rights of the States and
of the South which look upon convertible terms.
And let add in all sincerity that regret that the
event has demonstrated the fact that early oppos
ton to the course OF Gov Walker early fears ofhs
soupdpess were only too we'll basedhave been only
fully justified by the event of his manuavres We have
the proud consolation of knowing that the press of the
South-the Democratic press-s true as seel-that no
mere party tes-no prestige of official power or
position can seal its lips prevent the free expression
of its opinions. We do not oppose the administration
we will not if we can help it. We will await the action
and the message of the President and hope, trust
and believe that will find it oil that desire,
but if not, we will be compelled to say BIT one
thing would pain than to have to dissent from
part of the of gentleman whom we respect SO
highly as do Mr.. Buchanan. That one thing would
be to vary from our own conscientious convictions
