WASHINGTON, May 26, 1857.
From ~ that can ascertain there Is at least one copy 10
this city OF tSe proposed introductory address Of Governor
Walker 70 the Of Kansas and u least one copy in
the city of New York. each differing in some respsc, from.
the other, and BOTH going largely uss particulars
than the o1Ae OF the programme as set forth at The
White House. arS still Of the opinion however that the
leading points Of Governor Walkers address,
as laid down In the copy from which have heretofore
quoted will be adhered TO by the Governor whatever
changes Of phraseology or notifications OF argument
he may otherwise make on bin way 10 Kansus or after
his arrival there. These points ., follows -
The people Kansas the State consttu ion which they
about to frame (pro slavery must settle the slavery
question for themselves The President recognizes the
validity OF the local laws (pro savery) providing the
June election &C. and in regard TO the stand aloof policy
adopted by the free State party, Mr.. Walker says:
Throughout whole Union, however. and wherever
free government prevails those eho abstain from The
right faerasc authorize those ,oho do uSte TO act for
hem in that contingency and the rioters much

Comu, non after harin0 framed Stale constitution, will
submit by solemn oath for ratification rejection by
,nojoriy of the people Of Kansas" He enters into
nest constitutional argument upon this point from which
evident that the President desires this to be pur-
sued.
But in this connection the Governor also says-I hare
throughout my life, regarded the framing Of constitu
ton by convention Of delegates but preliminary
proceeding, expressing simply The opinions Of the convention,
bat obligatory only wen ratified by solemn uoe Of the people
Themselves"
In the copy of the address which have seen, Mr..
Walker next throws the following idoas. Says he:-
at is true that the constitution Of State has been the
with many, may be silent the subject Of slavery
in which in the absence OF any prohibition of tho To-
ssative power of State granted in general compre
hensive clause the Legislature OF the State elected by the
people might &C. the question Of slavery they have
done in o,her States &C. He thinks that this forthcoming
Convention will have the perfect right adopt this
Of non Intervention In their State constitution.
These the strong points Of his case, and he will pro-
badly adhere to them but that part Of his pre-
address, in which he says Of Kansas, that on the north
lies tho Nebraska Territory to become State and
the south, tie great and fertile Indian country, soon,
hope become State aided and encouraged by The State Of
Kansas !" Is a knk to the administration AS far
