WASHINGTON, March %, 1857.
The new Governor of Kansas, the Hon. Robert
J. Walker, does not take his departure until some
time in May. The Hon. Frederick ?. Stanton, of
Tennessee, who has been appointed Secretary OF
the Territory, will leave on Monday week for his
destination Some surprise is manifested that
Mr.. Stanton should take so small position. lie
has done so not on account Of the endowment at-
tachcd to ii, which is only about $1,000 per au-
mum. but because of the urgent demand on him
by the Administration for his services He is
man Of great talent, who was for ten years amen
ber of the House, and at various times Chairman
of the Committee on Naval Affairs and of the Ju-
dietary, and who has now large practice IN the
Supreme Court and Court of Claims. The neces-
sty of some one going there Immediately to take
the reins of Government, and the probability Of
Mr.. Walker not remaining there long induced the
Administration to secure O gentleman IKE Mr
Stanton, who could at once assume the duties Of
the Guberuatorial position and in the event Of
circumstances preventing MIR. Walkers departure
continue to discharge them or if the latter should
20 out and leave that he might be there to become
the permanent Governor. With two such men as
Messrs. Walker and Stanton in Kansas there can
be no doubt that the miserable temporzing which
has been going on in that territory ever since its
initiation will be stopped and things will be made
to transpire smoothly rs they should.
Gov. Geary, the late Governor, has been anus
ing himself since his return by filling the cores
pondents Of Northern Abolition journals with all
sorts of cock and bull stories about the manner in
which the late Administration, and particularly
Ex. Secretary Davis, concocted schemes to emhar-
rass his position in Kansas. No sooner do these
statements appear than they are promptly denied
and their falsty exposed so that the EX-Govern-
or has material sufficient for half dozen duelloS,
if no Ia dsposed to to that character of cx
pedient to appreciate bankrupt reputation.
MIR. Tickens has not yet had the position abroad
named to which he is to be invited.
Col. Forney has been here for the past two
weeks, but leaves tomorrow afternoon. He will
take no position under the Administration, and
returns to Pennsylvania to await his chances in
the politics of that State. A bitter hostility cx-
lists between him and his friends OIL the one hand,
and Mr.. J. Clancy Jones and his friends on the
other. It's said ]. CLANCY grinned when he heard
of Cameron election. Col. Forncy hearing Of
this construed 1t into an evidence of qualification
at his defeat The result is that wide line is
drawn between. these two distinguished Pennsyl-
yania Democratic leaders.
The news by the last steamer from Aspinwall
refutes the report that Messrs. Bowlin and Morse,
our Ministers ut New Granada had demanded
their passports and were on their way home. The
embarrassments attending their negotiations there
and the evidences of what the result would be,
make it quite clear that such step will be taken
by them.
Simon Cameron, the new Senator from Pennsyl-
vania, had q resolution passed by the Senate at
the called session requiring information at its
next meeting as to the cost of the public printing,
paper, &c., for a series of years The idea OF ST.
mon is to make great show up Of the extrava-
gant expenditures of Congress on printing The
printers having been for the last ten years Demo-
cratic, it is for the purpose of making capital a.
gainst the Democratic party. Simon thinks there
is corruption in this branch of the public service.
If this be go. then knowing his own qualities ashc
does, he is undoubtedly acting upon the rule
s'set rogue to catch rogue"
Mr.. Forsyths friends have completely killed off
any idea which may have been in existence look
ing to his removal The administration seems now
to be rather pleased with his work than otherwise.
A strong article in his favor appeared in an Ad-
ministration paper in Philadelphia, named the Ar
gus, which the Star this afternoon endorses, so
far as it concerns Mr.. Forsyth, but takes excep-
tion to that part accusing the firm of Hargous y
Co. of conspring to remove him.
The first number of Mr.. Pryors new paper,
s'Thc South" reached here tonight. An able
article, in it, against rotation in Office, was imme-
dately handed all over the Capital by the cham
pons of that side of the question as the strongest
exposition of their views that could be presented.
The paper has about it all the evidences Of the
marked ability of its able conductor, and will re-
fleet credit upon the of State Rights and in
dependent journalism, which it is initiated t re-
feet SOUTHERN RIGHTS.

WASHINGTON, March 30
The administration has adopted the policy of
the early formation of Kansas into State MS the
end to which oil the efforts Of Messrs. Walker
and Station are to be directed. They are to pro-
mote the call of the late Territorial Legislature
for Convention to form State Constitution;
and after the Convention meets arc to use their
influence to provide for the submission of its work
to the people for their ratification. They are to
advise the concurrence Of oil the people in the
movement and such as still hang on to the Topeka
phantom are to be advised to do away with all
such humbuggery at once, and respond to the call
Of the Territorial Legislature for the election of
delegates.
If they persist in standing aloof and making
fools of themselves, they are not to be regarded,
and the work of the Convention is to be considered
that of the Representatives of oil the people of
Kansas. The administration has justly deter
mined not to permit the action of few revolu-
tionists, which if allowed to have any effect might
prevent Kansas from ever becoming State, to in
auence it in helping the movement initiatedby the
late Territorial Legislature for that purpose. AS
soon as the action of the Convention is ratified by
the people, and the State Governor and Legsla-
ture is elected, the Territorial Government is to
give way at once to that of the State. Mr.. Buch-
anan Justly conceives the admission of Kansas as
State as the only cure for the present agitation.

The Union paper is not much longer to remain
in charge of Mr.. Appleton as editor. Mr. Apple
ton has determined to abandon the paper, partly
on account of his health. He has written but two
or three articles Cor it as yet. Mr.. Buchanan has
stated that he would give Mr.. Appleton the COL
lectorship of Portland, and that he did not desire
to indicate preference for any one to succeed
him as editor and that he does not wish to have
an organ for the Administration-never having
been able to perceive any benefit as arising from
such an institution. The establishment of the
Union vas purchased and is owned by Mr.. Wen
