The Washington correspondent of the
n. 7. Courier and Enquirer, writing under
date of June 9th, says
"The Southis rallying in open kostili-
ty against Gov. WALKEI's course in Kan
sas. as tending TO restore the rule of the
people against the expressions of the
usurpine faction which held temporary
control there. Under this standard there
is marshaling formidable opposition to
the administration of Dir. Buchanan. The
restless and incendiary proragandists of
Slavery, of whom Tombs and Stephens,
of Georgia, are leading spirits, are resolv-
d to force the present executive in the
same POSITION OF Inscriptions paFtizan-
ship as his predecessor, ard desire roth
inc so much as a renewal of the bloody
and violent scenes of last yea-. They PER
ceive that the policy of Gov. Walker is
likely to foil their schemes BY keeping
the pecce. They naturally fear that bor-
der ruffianism and all its works viii be
slouched of ike the skin of the serpent,
They have therefore brought the machi-
nery of party to bear upon him. Accord
ingiv, the Georgia Convention passed res
elutions denouncing Gov. Walker, and
demanding that the base outrages of
March 80, 1855, shall be carried out and
given effect to in the adoption of a pro-
slavery Constitution without submission
to the people"
While the South is also unanimous in
its abuse of Gov. WALKER, and charging
him with "having gone over to the ene-
N.Y." ard with being an "abolitionist,' -
many of the prefeseet friends of Kansas
In the North are denouncing him, and
represent him as laboring to make Kansss
slave State. The facts are, Gov. Wal
ker is laboring to perpetuate peace and
quiet, and give the people an opportunity
to regain their rights which have been
wrested from them by fraud and violence.
And he will succeed, and the people will
sustain him and his administration, because
they desire Just what he has promised
them, and which they have confidence to
believe he has the ability to bestow.
The people of Kansas are very conf
dent that the fire. eaters--the EXTREMISTS
of both parties-do not desire peace. Each
are laboring, the one to perpetuate the
power in their own hands, the other to
! transfer it to their own, and between these
we are tortured with divisions which
threaten with ruin. The young men
who came here to participate in our trou-
bles and then retire, who has no fixed res
lence or permanent attachments, belong
to which party he may, sympathiSes with
this feeling, and is always ready for a
fight. Not so, however, with the farmer,
the mechanic, or the man of business
whose all is dependent on the tranquility
of the country. He wishes to raise the
necessaries of life, and preserve his family
| from further hardships to which they
have been subjected by their removal
here; or, perchanee, to accumulate means
| to erect little home which he can call
| his own, wherein he will be independent
and regardless of the sneers of the insolent
and pvrse-proud. Or it may be he has
contracted debts in the prosecution of his
business, for the payment of which his
honor is pledged. Such men, and they
contribute more than fve-six h. of Il G
population of the Territory, sustained the
policy of Gov. GEARY, and they hail with
equal pleasure the same policy as eruncia-
ted by Gov. Walker. Demagogues may
t Tx ii doomsda., N and out of Kansas,
ut the PEOPLE will think and act indie
p,ndently, and think and act efficiently
and uniteliy, when the time comes, in the
support of this policy Already the dem
agogues are trimming sail, and are exhib-
iting evidences of determination to
take hold of the matter, and atten,pt to
lead the people where they have long
since resolved to go. When these men
find they cannot lead in one path they
will take another. In a fortnight from
this time, the platform chalked out by us
two weeks ago, as the platform of the peo-
pie, will be endorsed by every demagogue
and ofice-seeker in Kansas, and they will
swear as roundly as did eour arrny in
Flanders" that they were al,cGys in favor
OF the same policy. They have tried to
kill us and the Herald of Freedom for sus-
tanning that platform; but finding that it
is the voice of the people. they will next
attempt to get on and crowd us off. Will
the voters of Kansas watch these men,
and save the country the modification of
seeing them occupying responsible offices?
