KANSAS-GOV. WALKER,

There is much to justify the belief, that
the present Governor of Kansas is at heart
opposed TO the pro-slavcry interest in that
Territory, and chat he will dcsignedly, but
quietly, exert the influence and power of
his position 10 defeat tie aims ui ti,c South
ern party. At every successive election
contest in Kansas, which has already rccur.
red oitencr than justice required, the South
has been victorious. The last was for dele
gates to u Convention, which was to form
State Constitution, the latter to be sub.
mitted to CongIess for its ratification. II
did appear then, that 80 other resort to the
ballot box would be haG but the Govc.-
nor in his inaugural address, rccommcnds
that the Convention, after having famed
State Constitution, submit the same to the
then bona .fdc settlers, for their reception or
rejection. This can only be put down rs
an ingenious abolition device. not required
by any rule of REASON or right. but clearly
designed TO give the frucso!urs another
chance. The delegates are truly the rep
rcscn'n'ives Of the people, and their actions
should not require a SECOND endorsement
from the latter
The Convention is known to bp pso-sInvc-
ry by large minority, hence this device to
submit its action to the hazard of the bal
10, box. He states that his views upon
this head are known TO prasidrn; Bryhanan,
and OF consequence mast haze his endorse
mcnt. If such DO the case, the South may
be terribly disappointed in the man, who
has been, mainly through her, elevated TO
the highest Office within the gift Of the
American people,
1t has been suggested that there is Sem
porizing spirit being manifest In the South
ern ranks,indulged in by many standing high
in political circles, that will ultimately prove
fatal to the interest o! the pro-slaycry party
in Kansas By surrcEdcring Kansas to the
trccsoilcrs, the great Democratic Party of
the Country Will be strengthened by conces.
sions, perhaps upon other points, aud .hcy
will have disarmcd the Black Republicans
OF their main weapon of hostility. We
hope that tbs is mere speculation. though
appearances do indicate its truthfulncss, and
that there is no one Southern maa, SO in
tcnscly national, rs TO be willing to sell a
vital principle, affecting the dearest interest
Of our section, to aid in strengthening Il
national party. If such there be- let the
press proclaim his trcachcry and let the pco.
pie brand him with the scorn and con,umo-
iy that he deserves.
