Gov. Walker has been much frightened
by the threats of rejection by the Senate.
He is now heart and hand with the ex-
treme Pro-Slavery faction. He has eaten
all bis past fair promises, and sent most
humble dispatches. from Kansas for the
Southern market. Whitfield, who is now
here, reports Walker as at present the pet
of the Border Ruffians. Since Walkers
convention, nobody doubts the perfect
success of the intended Border Ruffian in
vasion from Missouri of the polls of Kan
SaS.

The demonstration against Walker and
his alleged Kansas policy by the secession
fanatics and other traitors, represented BY
the Charleston Mercury and the Richmond
South, has been perfectly successful. 1t
has caused Walker to explain away all
his promises of fairness and justice toward
the Free State citizens, and to adopt near
" the same measures for the final estab-
lishment and triumph of Slavery as were
pursued by Shannon and Woodson. He
has put himself at the head of the army,
virtually proclaimed martial law, and kept
his dragons chasing Free State men,
whom, when caught, he throws into prison
on old political charges. The South much
prefers this service at Walkers hands to
his removal; and, in fact, suspect prefers
him as tool for their purposes to any
other than an out-and-out stakeholder and
Border Ruffian like Atchison or Stringfel-
low.
/ am informed that the President. at
Bedford Springs and elsewhere, openly ex-
pressed views of Walkers course identical
with Stephens's. He condemned his is
othermal flummery, and said that Walker
was not sent to Kansas to talk, but to act
He has steadily assured complainants,
when he has given them any attention,
that, sag what he might, Walker would
do what the South required. Of course
the President was compelled 10 endure
The stupid denunciations of few ferocious
zealots who did not understand the game,
and insisted upon Walkers "head in
a charger. That was little indulgence
that could not be accorded them, but they
will be restrained from proceeding to any
dangerous extremities by people more SEN
sible than themselves.
All these threats of Southern opposition
to Buchanan in Congress amount only to
this, that the South is resolved to hold
him to the Border Ruffian platform, to the
end that Kansas shall be presently admit
ted as Slave State, and Cuba, Porto
Rico, &c, annexed as soon as possible
These moderate demands will be granted
by Mr.. Buchanan with great eheerfulness,
and all things will 60 on comfortably be-
tween him and the party.
The formal declaration of the Washing
ton Union that Kansas is sure to become
a slave State, has naturally produced a
lively sensation. Its significant averment
that Kansas must by, "inevitable conse-
quence" enter the Union slave State,
must have been made with the concur
renee of the President. 1t is true that the
next morning Major Harris sought to ex-
plain that this was only his opinion; but
an official organist does not, upon so vital
point, state his opinion without the con-
sent of his employers. He has no opin-
ions; what business has he with opinions
The time for throwing off the mask has
come. The machinery for the manufac-
ture of Slave State is perfected. The
Congressional elections are over. Martial
law is in force in Kansas. The prisons are
again being filed with Free State men,
The Pro-Slavery Convention is about to
assemble and will force the adoption Of
its Constitution by any and every means.
Walker will continue to make fair speeches,
but is doing and will do all that lies with
in the power and influence of his office
to make Kansas a slave State, as the
Union predicts. The Northern Demo-
cratic members will not rebel on account
of this outrage. l hazerd the statement
that any bill for introducing Kansas into
the Union, which Tooms and jeff. Davis
may cook up, will be swallowed, though
with perhaps few wryfaces.-Corresp.
