In proposing to treat the wOrshippers Of Brig

Territorial rights by repeal OF the organic act
until they should swear or at least show some
allegiance TO the Constitution and laws Of this
country. That proposition not only cut short
but cut off debate on that question, and now
when the President and his Cabinet supported
by the entire Northern and all the conservative
portion of the Southern Democratic press, unite
in policy which secures permanent pea in
Kansas these ranting Republicans find the only

The New York Times sees this and is satisfied
that the end of black Republicanism has come.
The latter has got to change its name and its
principles. 1t has got to hide its head under
the wing of Know Nothinglsm. or like the ex-

Here is an article from the Times which gives
a cue to the various views Of the more moderate
Of Fusion Fremont Journals. It is written
with remarkable fraukness, fairness and ability:

The President u 1ld the South:
at was charged upon Mr.. Buchanan, during
the canvas which resulted in his election to the
Presidency that he had been brought forward
as the candidate of the South; that he would
devote himself, if chosen, to the prosecution Of
the policy marked out for him, by the Southern
cheftians who had controlled the Administration
Of President Pierce; and that he could not be
expected therefore, to achieve the pacification Of
Kansas, distracted by the intrgues, and mad
dened by the outrages of the Southern propo-
gandists of Slavery.
"Ihe particular personal friends of Mr.. Bu4
chanan maintained OH the contrary, that the
intention Of that statesmen were, to repress the
violence of the extreme partisans by whose le-
cent excesSeS the very existence OF the Amer-
can Union had been imperiled, and encourage
the patriotic hopes of all peaceful citizens, Of
whatever section of the country, by such a
pr mpt and impartial Tindication of the funda-
mental principles of Free Government in Kan
sas, as should conciate all reasonable men to
the support of the Executive.
"Up to this time the course Of Mr.. Buchanan
has certainly justified the declaration OF his
friends rather than the prognostcatiCnS of his
foes. He met the issue offered him in Kansas
promptly and plainly. Without protesting to
take up the ground assumed from the first by
the Northern friends Of freedom in Kansas, lac
put himself into the breach between the assail-
ants and the defenders Of liberty in that Terri
tory Accepting, as he tas bound to accept
as Mr. Fremont himself had he been chosen,
would have been bound to accept, the action of
the last Congress upon the question OF the ter
ritorial organization in Kansas, Mr.. Buchanan
proceeded to seect for the discharge of the Ex-
ecutive functions statesman of Northern origin
but of Southern associal ions; u statesman whom
no one could suspect of Abolitionism nor even
Of Anti Slavery proclivites; and whose capacity
for the impartial execution OF the momentous
/ trust cUntided to him, was acknowledged by
Southern as well as Northern men. .s
"Governor Walker went to Kansas watched
dy a thousand eyes. The advanced guard of
the Southern secessionists were sure that he
would do their work for them. They loudly
proclaimed their confidence that he would so
manage matters in Kansas as to aggravate still
further the mutual exasperaton Of the North
and of the South; that he would dragoon the
Free State men, be their number what it might,
into submission, and that he would commit the
National Administration to the reasonable pur-
poses of their own fierce and fiery iaction.--
These ancipations of the Southern extremists
were echoed by extremists at the North. Before
Governor Walker had reached liecomptol, the
organs of the most intamed Northern feeling
had poured forth peal upon peal Of premature
denunciation against himself and the President
by whom he had been appointed No good was
to be expeeted from The o1 e. no faith was to be
reposed in the other. So bitter and SO claIn0r-
Gus were the outcries sent up from these Two
opposite quarters as to drown the voices Of the
men who are in the habit OF seeing with their

"But Gov Walker at last made himself heard,
and by conduct contirmatory of his words, made
the country understand that he represented in
Kansas the S1uereigf1tg of the Uiatea States and
not the caba Or the council Of any faction what
ever. He claimed To speak and to act in Ike
name and in the spirit of the President, and to
count upon the firm and unqualified support Of
the Administration in whatever measure or sug-
gestions should seem to him necessary to the
completion and honorable pacihcation Of Kan.

Government of the United States may be said,
indeed, to have offered an official rsbuke to the
audacious factions who have dared to assume
that the supreme authority of this free country
is to be prostituted to serve the purpose of any
body of fanatics whatever. Mr. Buchanan has
taken up position in which he may be sure
that he will rally to himself the support of all
the peaceful orderly, and patriotic citizens Of
this country OF all sections We do not believe
that the Conventions of the Democracy, so cal

Southern men by whom the policy of the South
herself is to be finally determined. We rely
upon whatever Of intelligence, Of good faith, OF
honor and Of love of country is to be found at
the South or at the North, for the prompt and
positive annihilatiOn of that sectional spirit
which is prepared to sacrifice the peace OF the
nation, and the order Of great Territory, to
the scheme Of few frantic partisans. We do
not so far despair of the Unson as to suppose
that any considerable number OF respectable
and educated men at tho South are willing tol
