The Buchanan-waIker Plot TO make
Kansas FREQ state.
We have already laid before the readers of
the PATRIOT the resolution of the Democratic
State Convention of eorgia, condemning the
action of Gov. Walker in Kansas, and demand
in g of the President his recall. The Demo-
cratic State Convention of Mississippi, recently
held at Jackson, also unqualifedly condemned
the conduct of Mr.. Buchanan's proconsul.
The following is the preamble and resolution
of the Mississippi Democracy:
Whereas, Gov. Walker, 10 bis Inaugural Adj
dress to the people of Kansas Territory, declared
it to be bis 'clesr conviction that unless the Con-
venton"-called by law to form Constitution for
that Territory-"submit the Constitution to the
vote of all the actual settlers of Kansas"-at the
time OF such submission-'it will be, and ought to
be rejected by Congress-"
And uhereas, The law OF Kansas authorizing
the call of said Convention and prescribing its
duties, makes provision for such submission to
then settlers of Kansas, nor prohlblts Congress
from adopting the without such submission:
And tchereas, Gov. Walker further suggests that
Kansas, by reason of its geographical position and
climate, is unsuited to slave labor thereby gratu-
tously throwing the might of his judgment and
| pro-slavery party:
| Therefore, Resolved That we regard the said
| recommendations, opinions and arguments of Gov.
| Walker unjust nd uncsed for discrimination
against the rights and interests of the pro'slaVery
| party in Kansas and throughout the Union-a die
tatorial intermeddling with the performance of a
high public duty already intrusted by law to con
| Ventlon selected from the people of Kansas with
which Gov. Walker had no right to interfere, and
bis conduct in this respect meets the unqualified
condemnation of the convention.
A portion of the Democracy of Alabama,
held a public meeting at Montgomery on
the 9th ult., and placed themselves on the
| platform of their comrades of Georgia and
Mississippi. Hon. W. L YANCEY, one of the
| Buchanan electors for the State at large last
year, and decidedly the ablest man in Ala
bama, attended this meeting and made a
speech in which he literally fayed Gov. Walk
er; and, on his motion a resolution express
sing ''unabated confidence" in Mr.. Buchanan,
was laid on the table He was not satisfied
as to the extent of Mr.. Buchanan's completely
in the intrigues to surrender Kansas to the
Free State men, and, therefore, not ready to
vote for or against the resolution. We sus-
pect he has since been fully satisfied by the
reproduce this morning, sustaining Gov.
Walker, and would now vote down the reso-
| luton promptly.
Whilst the Southern Rights Democrats in
Virginia, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama
Mississippi, Louisiana, and elsewhere, are
thus coming up to the support of the rights
of Southern men in Kansas, what the
Democratic leaders in Tennessee dOing2 III
stead of graphing with this vital question
and aiding in the struggle to throttle the Alb
clifton serpent which seeks to enclose slavery
in Kansas in its Shiny coils, they are attempt
ing to decoy the people into consideration
of the merits of the repeal of the Missouri
Compromise, a question settled forever by the
action of Congress and the adjudication of the
Supreme Court! They abandon the Slave
State men in Kansas to the Buchanan-W alkel
policy to 'crush them out" Will the mase,
of Tennessee, who have, for years past, wit

to create the impression that they were pGl

brook the craven spirit which prompts then
to desert now, when real, live, earnest ques
