Robeyt j. Walker, passed by the convention OF tue
Den oeTscy Of the State held at Jaeksonn June last
The Legislature only did not lower the standard rals
ed b, the Democracy st the cOmms Dcement OF the late
csLvase but wentfurther and declared mar tue can
cure which hiss been visited upon Walker, VIII be just
" applicable 10 the Administration Of Mr.. Buchanan,
il he approves and sussns the conduct Of bis ueaeh
eIous sppeiDtse. .
TIE resolutions as first offered in the Senate by Mr.
Pettus, the presiding officer of tina. body, embraced
the Adn b;sraon in the sensure pronounced without
qualification or reservation.
Messrs. Elicit OF Claiborne and Bradford fully ap-
proved the resolutions censurng Walker but earnestly
argued the justice and proprety OF suspendng the
verdict against the President until opportunity is
afforded hin Of svoving or disavowng in bis annual
netssge, sAon to be delivered, the criminal acts Of

not go far enough and Others the ground stated by
Mr.. Cust man. that il was proper TO express no Opin-
ion i'll relation 10 the Of the President until II is

proving the action Of the Democratic State Conven
iiop-sI coircided in the conviction that Walker had
violated the non-interveLtion principles Of the Kansas
BID, ard that he had progressed from one grade of
crimir atty to sno.her-ffom the enunci alton of his
" isoitermh" decree sgaibst the South and his inso-
lent declaration 10 the Constitutional Convention 10
his arbitrary usurpscn of the authority of the Terri
toria Legislature to decide upon the validity OF the
esotcn OF its bers, and his rejection OF the
Pro. Slavery delegates All united in the conviction
that the President does pot clear his skrs of these
Criuira act.-lf he does not disavow them as unwar
isned BY hs instruction and unsustaned by his appro
vs-he deserves the same measure OF denuucishon
which has been poured in bitter torrsrts upon the
goilty lead Of Gov. Walker.
