If Governor Walker would proceed al
once TO hang some halfdoxen plotters oI
treason in Kansas, such as Lane, Robin
son, Parrot, and two or three others, he
would remove az once the chief cause oi
difficulty there. The people, as a body,
are satisfied with Governor Walker, and
his administration, and do no! care n rush
for the Topeka Legislature and Conven.
tion with its tomfooIeres and absurdilies
We know this from Free State men,
We reiterate what we have before said a
half dozen times, there is no alternative
but to enforce the laws of Kansas, if ne.
cessary, al The point of the bayonet. Let
the consequences be upon the heads oI
those who reasonably resist.-&. Louis
Republican. ,.
Much has been said, and much has
been written upon The administration oI
Governor Walker in Kansas. The above
Is fair specimen OF the manner in which
the papers of the administration dwell
upon his course.
Now, there is one matter connected
with this move which, to our mind, ap-
pears 10 be quite extraordinary. Upon
the hypothesis, that the people of Law
renee are acting in violation of law and
order: what right has the Governor,
who is nothing but the executive of the
Territory, to assume the judicial functions,
and, without giving the inhabitants a fair
trial, march against them with an armed
force! Such procedure is, in our
opinion, the very worst kind of despot.
ism. The judiciary is the tribunal to
determine all questions of law and order
.-and it is despotism in the extreme for
an executive TO usurp the judicial func-
lions. Such is the attitude in which Gov.
erner Walker has placed himself in Kan.
sas, and, unless we are much mistaken,
he will, by this tyranical assumption,
bring down. upon his head, the condem
nation of an Enlightened people.

The FRAUD. D."--The Richmond Er-
anriner in an article captioned "Will the
South Countenance the Fraud" speaks
as follows: .., ..-....
"Here is the whole question, then,
from Alpha to Omega: Shall the Con.
stitution he submitted to the people!-
The Democracy of Kansas demand thatit
shall, and the Democracy of the Union
second their demand. Mr.. Keitt says
nay the ultry South clamor, in chorus.
nay ,..s .ta
"WelI, why should not the Conslitu-
tion be submitted to the people ! What
is the objection Of the ultras :? Strange 10
say, the reason is not denied. We blush
for The South to know that the reason is
avowed. The reason alleged is, that the
people of Kansas would vote down such
Constitution as the clamerous would
frame for them and the effort is, to
thrust upon them, by political trich
and contrvance, what could not be put
upon them by fair, Democratic means.-
Such is the scheme of the chiualry' of
the South such the lame and impotent
conclusion of all the grand airs and affec-
tions of virtue and honor with which The
chivalry' have amused the country SO
long A pallry fraud A political Jug
gle! A legal swindle upon the people Of
Kansas-insisled upon, demanded, clam
ored for by the chivalry,' par excellence
by the pink and pick politicians Of the
South" ... .....,..
This is speaking the truth plainly, by
one Of the stanchess organs Of Slavery in
the whole South.

Our County Convention

The object Of the Convention, which
is 10 be held in Richmond on Monday
next, is pretty thoroughly understood,
and may be summed up in few words.
1t is 10 lay aside, for the time being, all
party-ism. so. far as the Offices of the
county are concerned, and bring together
all the elements of opposition to sham
Democracy, for the purpose of forming a
PEOPLES TICKET, and prevent the
various county Offices from being filled
by unworthy aspiran,s. There is not
the slightest sacrifice of principle upon
the part of TRUE Democrats, Ameri,
cans, Wings and Republicans, In entering
heartily into the arrangement to efec,ually
crush out sham Democracy.
We claim, for ourself, that we do not,
by any means, sacrifice our Americanism
by fighting this battle; but carry 1t with
us as we ever intended TO do-to deal
dlsmay and death to political Romanism,
under the gafb of Democracy. Our
American principles are bright and gilt
terlng, and immutable as truth itself
and we would suffer defeat thousand
times, rather than sacrifice or have one OF
them larnishcd by the foul breath Of dis.
honor. The American party has nothing
to expect from the bogas Democracy but
dogged insolenre and matured puppyism.
The Republicans are with US upon the
maine American question, almost to o
man and when the Slavery question is
once settled-which settled it must short
ly be-they will then rally to tie Amer
can standard--and we look forward, tc
no distant day. when the American party
will be in the ascendent, and Americ;
will be governed by her own countrymen
