A pRo-sLAvERY VIEW OF KANSAS AFFAIRS.
From the Charleston Mercury.

LECOAPToN, oct. 20, 1857.
MkssRs. EDIToRs The Constitutional Con
yention met, pursuant to adjournment, yester
day. and adjourned over till to-day for a QUO.
rum. Harvesting, and the session of tbs
courts, has delayed the arrival of many mem
bers. Before the close of the week, we will
have full attendance.
A great deal of excitement prevails, Gov
Walker and bis Secretary have shown then
treacherous criminal policy, SO long attempted
60 be disguised. Discovering that the late cleo
tons would result in favor Of the Pro Slavery
party, they have issued a proclamation, refu
siao 10 Teceice the polls Of one Of our strongest
counties, LOO majority, and cay they will re
iect the returns OF another Of LOO.
There is not a color of reason for this, and il
is entirely opposed iG principle to the statutes
The presump,ions taken are entirely forced
and made with view TO sustain the position
taken by those in the States faycring Walkers
policy. Hence it is necessary to make it sp
near that the Black Republicans are In the me-
FORTY. A large meeting of delegates and Dem
ocrats was held last night, and Walker and
Stanton were denounced in unmeasured terms.
A call of the Democracy is ordered, and Walk
er & Co. viii be exposed. Strange as it may
appear, this course Of Walker has given us
(Convention) great advantage, and no one
thinks Of submission IN any .t0rm-(Southerp
men, mesn.) / assure you that there is not
a delegate now In Lecompton, except, perhaps
one or two, but hare committed themselves to a

decided advantage on our eide.

We can explain this open violation of duty by

GOVERNOR WALKERS COURSE.

But, admitting that aIl the objections of the
Governor and his Secretary were perfectly
good-that the cath taken by the governors OF
the elections should have been inscribed OIL
their returns-and that the roll of the name
of the voters afforded the most abundan,
grounds for suspicion, they had nothing to
do nth It. The law had not elevated them
into judges of the elections. The Secretary
was nothing but recording and ministerial
officer. Their fagitious corrup;ions to set aside
the returns Of the governors of the elections
and thus set mp majority ia the Territorial
Legislature " Abolit'oHists and Black Repu6

GOVERNOR WALKER AND KANSAS.

The very meddlesome little gentleman, whose
name heads this article, seems to be determined
to exhaust entirely his stock of popularity,
which was considerable less than q wear since
BE, among all the statesmen of the day, seems
alone to have failed to appreciate the great
principles which recommended the Kansas.
Nebraska act to the sound thinking men of
the country, TO wit Nonintervention. Either
this or he has made himself wilfully blind TO
the evident duties imposed upon him. Accord
ing 70 our idea, his course should have been
that best expressed by Mr.. Calhoun as a
mastery inactivity "--he should have gone
into the Territory without expressing an opinion,
he should have had no party combinations Of
any kind, nor have tried to induce this or that
side to take this or that step-ss q man viii

Many of the friends of the Administration,
and no doubt the Administration itself must
have felt hurt at the Georgia and Mississippi
resolutions, yet time has fully justified the
censure then cast upon Governor Walker. To
some it appeared to argue a lack of confidence
In Sir. Buchanan, but il was not so. Those
resolutions were proposed by his most ardent
supporters, and trust and reliance has beer
proved to demonstration by the fact, that al

GOVERNOR WALKER.
From the Richmond Enquirer.


That Governor Walker has transcribed his
official function in rejecting the returns from
the Oxford precinct, we have some doubt; but
that there scas an infamous effort at a stipend
Gus fraud zoe haze none. 1t would, however,
we think, be premature to pronounce Judgment
now, without all the evidence before us. The
provisions of the law quoted by Governor
Walker and Secretary Stanton do not, in our
opinion, very clearly invest them with the au-
thority which they have exercised III rejecting
the Oxford votes. But on the ground that the
returns were invalid because informal they
may be enabled to Justify their conduct in a
legal, as sce haze little doubt they aoiU IN a
moral, point Of Uieto.
According to the telegraphic dispatches, the
question was to have been considered, yester-
day, by the Cabinet. 1t will doubtless be
thoroughly investigated, and we are confident
that Governor Walker will be recalled, if it is
proved to the satisfaction of the Administration
that be was not prompted By sense of duty
and of justice. Although his rejection of the
Oxford returns may materially lessen the Pro
Slavery strength in the Legislature, it would,
nevertheless, be contradictory to the principle
of popular sovereignty, 20 the letter and spirit
of the Nebraska Kansas bill, TO justice and fair
ness. for fraudulent votes to be received. The
~
The Southern people may be assured that, if
Governor Walker has Injured their interests in
violation of Law, the Administration will not
hesitate to remove him. If, upon investigation
of his conduct with reference to the rejection
Of the Oxford returns, he proves unworthy the
confidence of Mr.. Buchanan, who can yubt
that he will instantly cease to command bis
cOuntenance2
We invite especial attention to another proe-
lamation from Governor Walker, on the occa.
sion of his more recent rejection of tie fraud
ulent returns from MCGEE county. He speaks
out frankly and fearlessly. He may have
nsurped authority, but we must have additional
evidence TO convince us that he is not acting
as he thinks best for the interests Of the Terri
tory, the South, and the whole country. But
let as await the verdict of the President and
his Cabinet. They have the means of arriving
a. the facts; and with their decision, we doubt
uot, the South will be satisfied

ELECTION OF N P. BANKS AS GOVERNOR OF
MASSACHUSETTS.
From the Boston Traveller, Nov. 4.

". Il.
Soon after the close of the polls, yesterday
afternoon, State street was crowded with a
denee mass Of people, anxious to ascertain the
result of the election, which was soon reached,
in consequence of the decisive character of the
returns, the American stronghoIds, Middlesex,
Essex, Bristol, and other counties, having all
given decisive pluralities for Mr. Banks. The
supporters of that gentleman received the in.
telhgence with shouts of Joy and Immediately
organized procession, headed by band of
music, which marched about the streets of the
city. A large number of fireworks were also
discharged.
About half past nine o'clock, the procession
again reached State street, and from thence
proceeded to the Revere House, where it was
understood Mr.. Banks would receive and adj
dress his fellow citizens. Arrived at Bowdoin
Square, the multitude, to the number of three
or four thousand, gathered in front of the
Revere House, and in response to earnest and
repeated calls, Mr.. Banks, accompanied BY
Senator Wilson, appeared on the balcony over
the ladies' entrance, and was received with
cheer upon cheer, and every manifestation of
enthusiasm. When quiet had been in some
degree restored, Senator Wilson addressed the
assembly briefly as follows:
Address of Senator Wilson.

Loud applause, followed by three cheers for
N. P Banks.
Mr.. Banks bowed his acknowledgements to
the multitude in response to the enthusiastic
greeting with which he was welcomed. and
when the storm of applause had subsidized, spoke
as follows:
Address Of Mr.. Banks.
