GOVERNOR WALKER AND HIS ALLIES.

vtom Our Special Correspondent.
TOPEKA, X. T., June ~ 1857.
The diff rent authorities in this " monarchy are
not very " ell defined. Gov. Gearys powers have
been clearly shown to be those of " limited mon
arcby." Gov. Walker does not proclaim himself
to be monarch in terms; but he gives assurance
Of the exercise of powers that he does not possess
He has been reminded that he is not emniPotent
Ibave just heard from LecomptOu Yesterday, a
COMMITTEE Of the Law and Order Democracy" Of
that place waited on Gov Walker and informed
him that the proposal to which he was giving such
extensive publicity namey--that the people should
vote on the ConstitutiOn-was not to be thought Of
and must not be made.
This. was foolish III the "Law-and- Order De-
mocracy" II showed an undue degree Of sensitive
ness. II implied power on his part which they
well knew he did not possess. If be fool enough
to give pledge that they would act fairly, that was
bis business, not theirs. They did not need to do
unless they pleased lie was even candid enough
to state as much himself. 1t was thus their true
policy to make all they could by these gratuitous as.
suraDces, and then allow the Governor 70 fail
through the responsibilities be had assumed. But
the Law-and- Order men sensitive They dOLOt
Like even the mention OF such unpaatable ideas.
Hence the Committee to wait on the Governor;
hence the issue between the Governor and his
allies.
Gov Walker has reached the fatal point in his
arpi-Ofcis semi diplomatic career. His political
dodge WINS to result in the success Of his allies.
They ore dissatisfied with the dodge. They not
only want to maintain their policy and authority,
but to lOOk like doing it, Here is puzzler for him.
IL he denies it, they Ostracize him; if he yields to
them be stands disgraced. OF course, he will try
another dodge. He is too much Of a politician to
come to the side Of the people of Kansas lie Is
reported to have said to the Committee
r" Gentlemen, to-day, for the first TINA, have
learned what is your real course and policy, and
you have taught it to me-
And again. Gentlemen, you cannot force me
into that policy"
AL this is very good. The Governor is aware
that his assent denial is not required nor provided
for 10 complete Constitution. 1t Is merely his
opinion. But Pro-Slayeryism is memorable, and
demands that opinion. There is one course OF as
sent he can Weld to them. He can abandon his
public ch-makng or his assurances of fairness
Ia them. He will try to buy off the demand OF his
allies by assuring them of the continuance OF their
power Let us watch him carefully. The question
Is whether he shall fall, like Geary, from the ience,
where he has been trying to perch himself or whether
he shall 90 over to his allies, soul aud body. lie
may still preserve dubious betweenlty ii not, his
mediatorial mission is at an end
III Walker has TO forsahe the Territory, or IL MS
allies drive him out, tue question Is whether the
Administration shall send another Governor 10 carry
out tho Border Rufian code. If political cookery
lodging or corruption do it, there VIII be every
thing Of that kind to keep up time serving policy
IT will require all the shrewdness OF Gov Wdlker 10
meet the following crisis. lie comes here not 80
much for the interests of the people, as for political
interests outside. He is getting into the breakers
and il is TO be seen whether such crafty bark can
ride oSt the storm in so rough sea.
