NH JOHN KOnERa Or5a.lr
The Kansas herald of freedom., 1857-06-27
Gov. Walker and the Eirs.Ea,srs

We intend no imputation upon tAe de-
mocracy when we affirm that, with indi-
vidual exceptions, all parties in the North
desire the admission of Kansas as IL free
State. 1t is morally impossible TO hope
for any other result.
But, we do reproach and denOunce the
/ Honorable Robert j. Walker, for that, be-
ing the Chief Executive Magistrate in the
Territory. and bound by every considera-
ton of honor and duty to observe strict
neutrality between the contending inter-
ests, he openly allies himself with the an
ti-slavery faction, and employs all the in
| fiuence of his position to deliver Kansas
into the power of the free State party.
Do we accuse him unjustly? Not un-
less it be impossible to convict him of the
charge on the evidence of his own official
1 declarations No candid person can read
his inaugural address and resist the con-
clusion that he goes out to Kansas with
the deliberate design of wrestling the Ter
ritory from the power of the South. 1t
is idle to answer that his policy is opposed
by the Black Republican party. The
struggle between Walker and Robinson is
not upon the issue of slavery or no sla-
very it is competition for the glory of
converting Kansas into free State OF
course the Black Republicans will fight
any plan which threatens to rob them of
the conquest.
Under any circumstances the loss of
Kansas would be grievous calamity for
the South: but to have it snatched from
our grasp by the stealthy manipulation of
politician who affects frank and honest
purpose, is an insult and wrong which
we cannot bear with patience. He pro-
poses to submit the constitution to the
popular vote, but not those who elected
delegates to make it, That would be
equivalent to declaring Kansas slave
State, which he is especially concerned to
prevent. No; he proposes to submit the
constitution of Kansas to the vote of all
the inhabitants of the Territory; which will
be equivalent to declaring it free State,
the result, of all others, most ardently de-
sired by the Hon. Robert ]. Walker
Richmond South, June 9Th
