FRIDAY MORNING, JULY "a, 1857.
The Two Mississippi, state Convention.

The Democratic State Convention of Mississippi
assembled in the city Of Jackson the 22d of June
last, and continued in session two days. The select
committee, to whom was referred resolution in re-
lation to the inaugural address of Gov. Walker of
Kansas made the following report which was received
and adopted. We quote from the official journal of
the Convention, as it appeared in the Jackson Nissis
sippian of the lst inst:
The committee to whom was referred the resolution
relative to the inaugural address of Gov Walker to
the people OF Kansas Territory, submit the following
report:
Whereas, Gov Walker, in his inaugural address to
the people of Kansas Territory declared to be his
clear conviction that unless the convention called
by law 70 form constitution for that Territory
submit the constitution to the vote of all the actual
settlers OF Kansas, at the time of such submission
it will be and ought to be rejected by Congress-
And whereas. the law of Kansas authorizing the
call OF said convention and prescribing its dnties
makes no provision for such submission to the then
settlers OF Kansas prohibits Congress from adopt
ing the same without such submission.
- And whereas, Gov. Walker further suggests that
Kansas, by of its geographical position and eli
mate is unsuted to slave labor thereby eratuitousIy
throwing the might of his judgment and official posi-
ton against the ultimate success of the prosiavery
party: therefore,
Resoired, That we regard the said recommenda
tions, opinions and arguments Of Gov. Walker as an
unjust and uncaled for discrimination aeainst the
rights and interests Of the pro-slarery party in Kan
sas and throughout the UDion-a dctatoial inter.
| meddng with the performance of high public duty
already entrusted by law to convention selected
from the people of Kansas with which Gov. Walker
had no right to interfere and his conduct i, Mi. re-

The American State Convention which convened
in jackson on Monday, 18th inst, adopted the follow
ing resolution:
Resolued, That in the opinion Of this convention
the sentiments avowed by Robert j. Walker Governor
OF Kansas in his inaugural address and his speech to
the members OF the illegal and fraudulent Legisla
ure recently assembled in that Territory, though but
the legitimate result of the organic law Of the Terri
tory are justly obnoxious to the censure and con.
demnation of all lovers of the country, and that the
tact approval Of these sentiments by The present De-
aocrat'c adniinistration, in not recalling Mr Waer
from the office tchich he so un,yorthH fills subjects
II 10 eqIaf, u not greater condemnation.
The following resolutions, among others, were
unanimously adopted "at large and enthusiastic
meeting OF the Democracy of Lafayette county, .
Mississippi. held in the town of Oxford on the 29th
ultimo
Resolred That we view with astonishment and
alarm the doctrines contained in the inaugural ad
dress OF Gov. Walker to the people of Kansas and
we avail ourselves of this occasion to enter our
solemn protest against the policy therein fore
| shadowed. -.
Resolred THAT we therefore regard the recommen.
dation of Gov Walker that the Constitution about to
oe Dreamed by the people of Kansas under all the
forms and conditions necessary to give it entire va
dty be submitted for ratification or rejection to the
then actual settlers, accompanied with the threat
that If this be not done Congress will and ought in
no contingency to admit Kansas as a slave or free
State into the Union' merits universal ,ep,obation
as novel in design arrogant in pretenson, uncaed for
Tune and place, dangerous in precedent insulting to
the sovereignty of Kansas, encouraging to the law
less fanatics of that territory depressing to its law
abiding citizens, volative of the pledge Of neutrality
IN his letter OF acceptance to the President faueht
ac'th the ranfest injustice to the South generaHu
ResofUed, That our position is not one of hostility
to the present administration but of fearless hostility
TO agrant wrong, whether it emanates from friend or
zoe, and ending where the wrong ceases.
Resoired, That We bestow our highest commenda-
ton upon the Mssissppian," and those other Dem.
ocratic papers of the South which have taken firm
and manly ground against the course pursued by
Gov. Walker and his locum tenens ad inte,im, F. ?.

Verify if there is Buchanan-W Walker party in Mis-.
ssslppi we should be obliged to any friend who would
point ont its location. The people of that State
abomnate treachery and ingratitude, and cannot be
wheadled by trading politicians into supporting tra
tors and ingrates The Democracy of Louisiana would
to follow the noble example of their brethren
of Mississippi.
