place, the concurrence OF the Era,uner and the Ma
tional Era in the statement that the South has no
party in Kansas, is not the particular point which
ELECTED our criticism, the Examiner seems to sup
pose On the contrary, We principally founded our
remarks upon the special fact that the Examiner and
Era, together with nearly the whole Abolition
press Of the North stand side by side and shoulder
shoulder, in their defense and support Of the Kan
sas policy of Walker and the administration The
position thus assumed by the Eraminer and bra,
and other Abolition journals, being one and the same,
and that too, upon question directly involving the
rights and interests Of the South naturally excited
surprise, and prompted the comments which APP
psarcd in Saturday ms. cad Of inquiring
whether the statement concurred in by the ErGmi-
aud Era the effect that the South has no par.
~ in Kansas fact not, purposely lefl that
question out of vew and confined our structures to
the strange aud striking coincidence OF these two
journals-the one pro-slavery and the other anti
sayery-Oceupying precisely the same platform in
respect TO the justice and propriety of the course
pursued by Walker in relation to Kansas Both of
these papers, we stated endorsed and sustained his
course and in consideration Of the singular fact we
ssked-"Suppose you, that the National Era would
endorse aud sustain the course OF Walker, if the
''South really getting its just dues at his
'handss Not bit of it. On the contrary, I'M
LESS the policy which Walker has adopted surely
and certainly tended to the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of
'Aboiuonism and the utter prostration Of the
rights and interests OF the South the ma
''tional organ of the Abolitionists at Washington
would be found denouncing and opposing it to
''the bitter end" Such was the language we used
and we take occasion to repeat it. In a spirit of the
utmost hankness and candor, we ask the Erdminsr
whether it believes nearly the entire Abolition press
OF the country, with the Washington Era at their
head, would uphold and defend the Kansas policy of
Walker, if they did not fully and thoroughly under
stand that such policy would rebound to the
advantage Of the fanatca the service of which
all their talents and energies are devoted short time
ago and all these organs ofAboionisn were madden
ed and infatuated TO the highest pitch and breathing
forth nothing but threatnings of determined war
against Buchanan, walker, and the administration.

some motive and some reason for so unexpected and

htion worthless. What has been the impelling and
controlling consideration with them: Surely the
Kansas policy Of Walker If in agreement with the
views, wishes, and expectations OF the South would
hardly extort expressions Of approval from the
Souths bitter and Incorporating enemies. Does
il not follow, therefore, that the Buchanan Walker
policy in regard TO Kansas is not in accordance with
the hopes and anucipatons Of the SOUTH Is not in
coasonance with the just recognition and support Of
Southern rights and Southern principlesY On the
contrary does it not logically and necessarily FOLLOW
that Walkers course is essentially the dictate of Aha
lition prociivities and designs? We think 80 or
the present attitude Of the Abodonists towards
Walker aud the administration is utterly inexplica
cable. Unless the policy adopted by him, and y
proved by the administration conforms TO their no.
tons aud wishes, we are entirely at loss to account
for the cordial sympathy and support which these
Black Republican agitators and fanatics 80 readily
accord 70 IT, VIII the Examiner be kind enough

an exertion Of its tact and ingenuity upon this par

matter to its early consideration.
