Governor walker In Kansas-Hls lnauxu-
raI-A Fair field for the Great F1nancier.
QuindaroL-With the news from Quindaro,
Kansas, of the arrival there of Governor Walker
on Sunday evening, May "A, about sunset, on
board the steamer New Lucy, and with the four
days later news Of the arrival Of The Governor at
Lecompton, and Of the delivery Of his inaugural
address, we feel authorized to publish in full the
copy of the said address, e. communicated to "
from Washington.
It will be discovered that the leading points of
this address have been Heretofore given In the
copious extracts published through our columns;
but for clear understanding of the exact con-
nection and bearing of the several points of his
gubernatorial policy, we recommend the reading
of the entire document Tho local laws are to be
enforced-the State Convention to be elected this
month is to be held as good and valid Cooven-
ton, representing the people Of the Territory,
Notwithstanding the hold-aloof rolcy of the free
State party. Governor Walker thinks the Con-
vention should BY all means submit their State
constitution to the people Of Kansas, for ratinca-
tioD before submitting 1t TO Congress; but wheth-
er the Convention win or win not pursue thiscourse,
is horse Of totally different color. We adhere
to the opinion that after adopting INSTRUMENTATION
the Convention will think II wisest and safest to-
carry up their work to Congress without further
ceremony, and that they will act accordingly.
In that event our Northern democrats of the
House will be called upon to face the music, yea
or nay.
We have ceased, however, to entertain any ap-
prchensions of possible revival of the Kansas
border rufian scenes Of poor Pierce's disorderly
and demoralizing administration. A new balance
Of power has risen up In Kansas with this seasons
emigration into the Territory-the balance Of
power possessed by the land speculatora They
comprise all parties, all scots and sections, all
factions and classes of the people. And they are
all interested in preserving the peace and the
law and order of the Territory-niggers or no
they are all involved in city sites,
town lots, factories, landings, farms. railroads
and what not, which must go down with run.
and ruin everybody, with another military out
break between Gen Atchison and Gen. Brown.
This idea of the speculators' balance Of power
covers the most brilliant, beautiful and enthusi-
astic portion Of Governor Walkers address His
enlarged views Of the subject, Ms great flnanclcr
and millionaire speculator, do not stop at city
sites and town lots. His comprehensive imagi-
nation brings into Kansas the future con-
tributions by steamships, steamboats, and rail-
roads, of the four quarters Of the globe.
Kansas Is TO be, not only the great
central State Of the American Union, but the
great commercial halfway house of the whole
world. The people of Kansas, too, are just In
the humor for this sort Of preaching, andif Gov.
Walkers grand and glorious Kansas programme,
speculative and commercial, is not swallowed
without winking, then we shall begin to think
that the day for morus muticauls and South
Sea bubbles is gone-forcyer gone.
Gov. Walkers reception at QIindaro was
highly ha,tering. He was accompanied up from
ST. Louis, on board the New Lucy, by General
Wilson, Of Massachusetts,, the most active and
resolute champion Of the free State Topeka con-
stitution in the United States Senate; but stll
more agreeable and propitious circumstance was
the Introduction Of Governor Walker TO the
citizens of Quindaro by Senator Robinson, the
head and front Of the Topeka cree State party.
There is something also very Suggestive in the
fact that the FIRST place at which Gov. Walker
touched the coil of Kansas was this Quindaro,
which was forest in January, and which had n
week ago a substantial population Of over four
