Ksnsas-Thc Administration and Our Sec
tiof al DIorga niEATs, North and South.

State, driven to the wall upon their high handed
and demoralizing acts Of usurpetion at Albany
last winter. are yainly endeavoring to cover up
then disgrace in the dust and smoke OF the Kan
sas agitation. Thus in a rejo;nder to late ar
tcle Of ours suggesting the certainty OF an honest
solution Ct the Kansas problem through the po-
Icy adopted by MIR. Buchanan, the Tribune pa
rades q number Of facts 10 show that the syupa-
thies, tendencies and purposes of the administra-
tion are with the border iulfans. aud their ulti-
mate purpose of smuggling Kansas into the
Union as q slave State.
We are thus admonshcd :" that Mr.. Bu ,hanau
has newly appointed 20 most lucrative and infu-
entail posts in Kansas, Messvs Emory, Whitfield.
Woodson, Clark &c. who arc known to the whole
country as conspicuous and leading participants
i'll the long series Of fiauGs AID u-urpations by
which the free State men have been harassed dcs-
poiled and murdered, aud slavery legalzsd in
Kansas, in defiance Of the earnest circumstances
OF three-four.hs OF her people ali the Land
Offices of the Territory, "the ci'adels of its inlu
ence and power" are lin the hands of the bitter
est and bloo5iest of border rufiars'- that Judge
"Jeateys Lecompte" is retained in his Office
that Il pfo-slayery man "of the Sheriff Jones
stamp has been appointed Postmaster of Law.
rcnce-ihat all the government printing in the
Territory has been given, by the administration
"to 'he most violent and unscrueu,ous pro-
slavery organs" &c, &c. And We are asked to
account for these things.
We answer, accordingly, that Mr. Buchanan
poI 81 ar ite~ fit-o m no 10
and authorities of Kansas detdcto, as turned over
into his hands by the last administration and the
last Congress His choice of a man for this or
that LEGAL Office has been necessarily limited to
that class Of men who recognise the general va
lid;ty Of the said local laws and authorities
Nobody can believe that Mr.. Buchanan accepts
these local LAVE aud authorities Of Kansas as
perfectly regular and legitimate in everything:
but, as between the conflicting pro slavery ana
fee State parties, no man can dispute that as
far a. there is any legitimate and regular go.
vernmeAt Of The Territory, il is the government
Of the pro slavery party. They may have Sc.
cured this position through unlawful and out
rogoous means and instruments, but the Presi
cent cannot 90 behird the record OF the Legis.
laturc. lie must accept it as he finds it. 1t Is
the business OF Congress TO repeal or to recog-
misc the doings of the Territorial Assembly.
But our incorrigiblc kansas bleeding" cotem-
porary follows up his aforesaid schedule of facts
with another list Of complaints, and these are
levelled directly at Governor Walker, as the
executive exponent of Mr.. Buehanans policy.
Thus the Tribune considers the official declara-
lions OF Walker as a "yery poor reliance de-
nounces his shortcomings in reference to the ap-
portonments for the October legislative election;
denounces Judge Cato's opinion. which is a
thing Of no more legal force in the matter than
would be the opinion Of Judge Edmonds or of
Mr.. Surrogate Bradford tells us tina. the NisSou-
rians are organizing for another border invasion,
aud that Walker has not issued his proclamation
against IL; and finally, that, in short, every &C.
Of Governor Walker iavors the border rullans to
the utmost, while We are asked to trust his pro-
mises Of fairness ard iu,tice in some future con-
tiDgeney.'
Now, the very best answer which we can give
to this formidable chapter Of grievances against
Walker from our Northern nigger worshppcts'
principal hornblowcr, IN the still moro terrible
catalogue of indictments raised against this
same Walker by the bigger driving agita-
tors CT the South. Gen. Aicbison, the
very head and front Of the Kansas pro.
slavery party, says that Walker has
done US aud our cause more injury
than Chase, Hale, or any other aboitionist, could
have done;' the Richmond South has denounced
Walker almost as villanously as il has abused

the Union, on account Of the otherwise disastrous
consequences to the South of the loss Of Kansas,

For instance: in q late number, the Did refers
to the President a. "a viper" and "a treacherous

again be trusted by the men of the South. Such

This IL our answer TO Massa Greeley dreadful
