KANSAS AND HER CALUMNIAToRs.-
In addition 70 the. letters published recent
ly from General Atchison, we beg leave to
say to our readers, that from other letters
received from Kansas, we are informed that
the pro-slavcry party in Kansas is rcsolutc
in its determination of making Kansas a
slave State. In consouting to become a
Democratic party, the pro;slavcry men did
not mean to abandon their policy, but to
lift the minority it placed with them to their
support. The statements which have been
circulated in the South, that they had ad-
quicsced in Gov. Walkers schemes to make
Kansas Free State, are utterly falso-
They thoroughly understand and detcst
him, and hope to make him as powerlcss as
Ctcary, Gov. Walker, with the authority
and patronage of the General Government,
might Hereafter succeed in dividing, par
alyzing and finally defeating them. This
is possible. But on the 2lst day of last
month they were. confident of success, and
would form Constitution with slaveryac-
knowlcdged in it. If this Constitution is
referred to the people for ratification, it is
intended to refer it only to the registered
voters, who will doubtless ratify it. We
have more hopes of Kansas than VIC have
ever had. We. have great faith in the
fighting capacities of Southern men. r.,
