Tho semi.oficial defense Of Governor Walker,
which we lately copied from The Washington Union.
contains some curious admissions, especially con-
trasted with the pretensions which have been set
M for Mr.. Bucbanan's Administration to Impair
tiatv and disposition to do the fair aud equal thing
by the Free State men Of Kansas The great mass
of the emigration to Kansas has confessedy been
from the Northern States; and yet The Union ap.
meals 10 the shareholders State Convent ms re-
Gently held in Georgia and Mississippi to withdraw
or modify their declarations against Walker, on
the ground, in the first place. that he, Walker, is
ga Southern man himself, uniform and consist
sent champion of Southern rghts"-that is to
say of the rights of the shareholders to have their
own way in everything; secondly, that he, Walker,
twas pressed upon Mr.. Buchanan BY the OK.
" tremest men of that section, for the highest
/" place in the Cabinets" thirdly, that "he Is sur
q" rounded by corps Of officers, most ofthem from
{. the South, and every one Of them sound national
"men,,i. e., "sound on the goose"-such men,
for instance, as Jeffreys Lecompte, author OF the
treason indictments and the Lawrence riots; Judge
Cato, who was present at, if not participating In,
the murder, near Lawrence, Of Mr.. Barber;
Emory and Murphy, the principal leaders in the
Leavenworth riots, in which Mr.. Phillips and 9th.
ers were killed, and the greater part Of the Free
State citizens and prOperty-owners OF Leaven-
worth forced upon steamboats, and shipped down
the river, leaving their houses and stores to the
mercy of the Border Rufians; fourthly, "that
walker is acting in concert with the friends Of
the South [slaveholdipg] and calamity fighting
"their enemies"
Now, these may be excellent reasons, we don't
dispute that, why the Southern shareholders should
be content to intrust their case to Gov. Walker
satisfied that, though he may not succeed in doing
all that they may desire, he certainly will do all and
everything for them which existing circumstances
will possibly admit. But just so strong title 40
this statement of facts, set out by The WashisgseS
Union establishes for Gov. Walker TO the confidence
and support of the Pro-Slavery men in Kansas and
out of it, just to the same extent does it justify
nay, render imperative, the doubt and discomfort
with which he is regarded by thOse-whether resi-
dents of the Territory or out Of it-who desire to
see Kansas Free State. We hope, after this dis
tiDct avowal, semi.Oficial in its character, that
Gov. Walker SIS acting in concert with tha
friends Of the South, and gallanty fighting their.
/" enemies"-if not by open force, in the Atchison
and Stringfellow Border Ruffian fashion, at least
by all such weapons of barney and persuasion as
he knows so well how to WELD and which aloae,.
under existing circumstances, can with any safety
be resOrted tO-after this distinct avowal as to tho
character and objects of Walkers administration.
and the additional avowal that he has been sur.
rounded by a Clique of Southern officials, for the
very purpose of helping to carry out this beautiful
scheme of doing all for Slavery that the case will
possibly admit Owe trust we shall read no more
appeals in The N. y Times, or any other pro-
fessedly Free.State paper, calling upon the Free
State men to place implicit confidence in Gov.
Walker, and to leave entirely in bis hands tho
work Of making Kansas Free State.
