In the hrst place, Gov alKer LOOK IL upon himself
| to harangue an assembage Of Black Republicans at
Topeka on the 9th of June last These traitors
| headed by Lane, Robinson and other noted scamps
fresh from the orgies of socalled convention, which
characterized as invalid and illegal the acts of the
regular and popular Legislature of the Territory and
announced their purpose to persist in their dsorgan
zing and lawless course. 1t was, (says the Misss-
sippan) to the members of this infamous conclave
that Gov. Walker delivered the address, to which so
much reference has of late been made. 1t is sufi-
cient commentary says the paper upon this ex.
traordinary document bareyto point to the fact that
it ecited the tcdest and most ertrauagdt idudaton
from the yle creep Of rabid fanatics and unscrupu.
lous demag0gues and agitators, to whom it was
specially addressed. Now, if such men as Lane the
noted outlaw, and Robinson the bogus Governor, ap.
proved and applauded this speech all patriotic and
laacdbiding Southe,neys must know at once that it
is not such emanation as they can in truth honor
and candor endorse. To our mind, this fact alone
shows that there must be warm and cordial sympa-
thy between Walker and the Black Republicans.
Mark this prediction for we think time will fully con.
firm it: Walker is without doubt bent upon making
Kansas q free State, and depriving the proslavefy
men Of the advantages they have already obtained BY
legal means
Tie Gazette then proceeds to sustain the manly
and patriotic attitude it has assumed by quoting from
leading journals, South and North-the Southern
indicating ts side of the question, and the Northern
Freesoil organs sustaining Gov. Walker. After quo
ting from the New York Courier and Enquirer, which
euogizes Walkers perfdy in unmistakabe terms, the
Gazette says:
What Southern man. either by birth or adoption,
can read the above extracts together with the COM
ments Of approval from . tanatcal Northern press,
and not feel outraged and iiisulted we like his
speech, exclairas the inpudent James Watson Webb,
" his language Is altogether satisfactory, etc. ETC."
Notwithstanding this approval from such diabolical
characters as Webb, and the editor of the IN. "
I A.
Democratic papers IN Louisiana uho treat the ,ohole
matter tcih soft phrases and seek 10 apologize for
Walkers objectionable conduct! We have no SYM
pathy with such journals. Democrats, it will not do
We cannot travel in the same road with such men
Lane, Robinson, and their cotrators. We O. the
South cannot justify conduct endorsed by organs like
the Courier and Enquirer and New York Daily Times.
The history Of Walkers transactions prove that he
has meddled with matters entirely foreign to his mis-
sion as Governor Of Kansas. Had he remained per-
fectly neutral and silent and let the will of the ma
jorty prevail the South would not have opened her
mouth or given vent to a single murmur. The
South does not dispute that the convention have
right to submit the constitution when formed to the
legal voters Of the Territory. But when this truism
is dictated to the people Of Kansas or any other Ter
ritory by mere official of the Federal Government
we may be excused if we consider that he has tran
scended his powers and violated his sacred obligation
of n6n-interyention, which he owed to the whole
country, North, South, East and West. Right here
we charge Gov. Walker with having violated the en-
tire tenor spirit and intention of the kansisN
bill which we establish from the following able and
well dgested extraettaken romPne of the first jour
nails in the Union.
Omitting the extract referred to, we again quote
from the Gazette:
Having set forth, in plain terms few reasons for
disappearing Walkers course in Kansas, we do not
wish to be understood ignoring the administration
only so far as it has proved fahess to the interests
OF the South and her constitutional rights We have
Urad .ppfs ofic Mr puo
and his cabinet, at the same time we cannot close
our eyes to the fact that it is radically wrong and
bad policy in him, to retain man in power who has
violated the great law Of Justice and constitutional
rights Isl expected by the friends of the admins
tration that we shall hold our peace while Walker is
preparing the train that is to scatter cause to the
four winds Of heaven ? We answer no, never, The
Washington Union, in sustaining Gov. Walker,
assumes that he is assaedr and defends him upon
points where he has not been censured! Why the
supposed organ of Mr. Buchanan should pursue such
course we cannot define. 1t may be that time, the
true developer of all human events. will place the
Union right before the country We hope so at least
1t is very hard for us to believe that Mr. Buchanan
has so soon forgotten the platform upon which he
was elected or the glorious principles which he HIM
self ayowed in his famous and popular inaugural adj
dress. While editor of the Lake Providence Herald,
and the Louisiana Democrat, we proclaimed that
intervention was or watch-word and if we know
the meaning of the word, tsha be our motto still
On points OF such grave importance we have no com.
prses to make either with the administration or the
people. We have always been a Democrat from our
hoyhood up to the present moment, and we profess
to know something Of that creed upon which the De-.
mocracy have stood since the administration OF the
immortal Jefferson. Therefore it is we have no part
nor lot with the workers of treason, and we hope
soon to be able to announce the recall of Robert j.
Walker, who has garngly departed from that strict
neutrality in the affairs OF Kansas which it was his
bounden duty to have observed.
We here bring our extracts to close. We are in-
cined to the opinion that the masses of the people
irrespective of party distinctions approve the
course taken by the Shreveport Gazette, and nu-
merous other independent Democratic journals. The
oice-holders, the expectant officehoders, and the
pensoned presses, will no doubt continue the work
they have begun that of CLOSING over the grossest
treachery known to political annals in order to screen
the President from merited condemnation. Nine
tenths of them denounce Gov Walker, and at the
same time seek to hold Mr.. Buchanan hlameless
This is wretched subterfuge, altogether unworthy
Southern men, If Walker is criminal, the President
is still more criminal. Walker is but an agent-an
If Walker has betrayed the South as is
alleged the President has betrayed the
South, for he could have nipped his agents treason
in the bud at moments notice. Instead of doing

his conduct
