largely into the discussions:
From the Raleigh, N. C., Standard
old democratic press:
We publish to-day the proclamation.
Of eiov. Walker, warning the black re-
publlcans Of Kansas, and especially of I
Lawrence, Of the evil consequences To.
themselves which must result from their
persistence III acts Of treason. The.
tone Of this document is what It should
be; and we trust Gov. Walker will firm
Y and sternly maintain the position he1
has taken. &
From the Wilmington Commercial
formerly wing, but now supporting the. .
democratic candidates.:
in justice to Gov. Walker, and as . ].
matter Of history, we present on our
last page the whole of his proclamation.
to the.people Of Kansas. We do not
see how any one can fail to applaud his
noble, firm and patriotic stand in behalf
Of the government Of his country. It
seems that Mr.. Buchanan and his cab /.
met fully appreciated the fitness Of {
Walker for his present position, by the
urgency with which he was presseA. to
accept the appointment. The events,
thus far, show the wisdom and sagacity
of the administration in this SELECTION
And though to some persons his first adj
dress to the people was considered Of
an intermeddling character, and too
long for the occasion--we did not then, !.
nor do now, see anything in the
course of Gov Walker, but what indi-.
Gates disposition to do the best he can
for his country in the best possible way.
Those who complain must recollect that
his situation is a very trying one, and
that they cannot 50 well understand the
case as those proslauery men who are on
the ground and who have approved Of
his acts. .
It has been absurdly reported that
Gov. Walker is manHuvering to attach
the freesoil party to himself, so as to be-.
come the black republican candidate for
the presidency. If this we're SO, he
makes very poor Roadway. They all
abuse him, We believe, and he is on the
point of a violent and bloody issue with
them in Kansas, as the reader of his
will observe. Il would be
a queer mode to electioneer with peo-.
pie BY commencing with affecting on
them the pains and penalties ofwar.
are Of opinion that the final result will
be honorable to the administration, and
creditable to Gov. Walker. 2A
From the Nashville, Tenn, Union
jackson democrat:
On Wednesday evening last Gov.
Walker issued proclamation to the
people Of Kansas, notifying them that he
had summoned to his aid the troops Of
the United States to assist him in en-
forcing the laws. The occasion of the
proclamation was the action of the free
State party, in persisting in giving prac-
teal efficiency to legislation of the boz
gus legislature Of Topeka, and resisting
the collection of taxes. The Topeka
body had passed laws comforting char
tiers upon certain towns and bodies, with
the privilege Of electing mayors, Justices
of the peace, &C., under them. The
attempt to use these charters, and the
refusal to pay taxes, brought matters to
an issue at once between the free state
party and the constituted authorities Of
the territory. Gov. Walker has met
the emergency in proper spirit
claimed his intention to maintain and
enforce the laws, collect the taxes, and
as precaution, ordered out the troops
Of the United States, stationing them at
Lawrence. He pronounces the course
of the free state party reasonable, oall-
ing upon allits adherents to aid in the
enforcement ofthe laws and maintains
ing the public peace, assuring all that
ID case Of obedience the past shall he
forgotten
The Atlanta, Georgia, Intelllgenocr,
which has been warm assailant Of
Gen. Walker for his alleged free state
partialities, is making a re,regrade
movement, and giving evidence Of rec
turning reason. In late issue, il re-
marks as follows:-
On what ground the pro-slavery citi-
zens Of Kansas sustain Gov. Walker,
we are totally ignorant. It is sufficient
for Us to know that they do sustain him,
TO authorize our acquiescence intheir
right to determine that matter for them
selves. II may be that the intelligent
citizens Of Kansas are in possession of
facts, i'll regard to Gov Walker and the
