Marshall County Republican. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1856-1878, 1857-11-12


The r. Y. Evening Post, of Friday
week, speculates on the result of turmoil
that Gov. Walkers rejection Of the John
son county fraud will produce, and its
conclusions, always well considered and
deliberate, are as follows:
The proclamation of the Governor Of
Kansas. which we published yesterday, is
destined in all probability to involve the
gravest political consequences. 1t threat
ems nothing less than :hedisorganization Of
the Administration party and transfer
ofthe great struggle against slavery prop
agandis:n directly into the centre Of the ad
ministration party.
Governor Walker gives the most con-
elusive reasons for rejecting the vote of Ok
ford precinct in johnson county, first, be-
cause Of the irregularity in form of the re-
turns; and second, from the evidence fur
nished BY a visit to the precinct, of the
physical impossibility of its casting legally
over one-tenth of the vote credited to it in
the returns. By rejecting this vote the
Free State party obtain clear majority in
the Legislature. The pro-slavery party
are greatly incensed at this result, and
] threaten the Governor and his Secretary
with every variety of vengeance, political
aud personal. Stanton has been challeng-
ed by one of the malcontents, and the
judicial power of the territory has been
invoked to compel the Governor to give
certificates to those who, for the want of a
delegates. The wrath of the extremists is
proportional to their disappointment, and
relying upon the countenance which theil
past proceedings have received FROM Sen

: from Hunter and Mason, in Virginia, a.

( is asked to recall Walker If he refuses
! he is threatened with majority in boil
{ Houses ofCougress against his administra

RI nomination, upon which the Senate ha

: esteemed by Governor Walker. that Stan

! guard their position.
Mr.. Buchanan knows that if he yields
: he at once places Walker at the head of
t party in the North. against which the AID
