The Administration Gov, Walker and
the Opn0sitiOn.

The surprise that the opposition would
seize upon any pretext to bring odum on
the administration of President buchanan
is not wonderful, when we remember the
forlorn condition of the party whose misfor-
tune it is to be always on the wrong side. -
1t is charged upon the administration that
Walker was appointed Governor of Kansas
with no other view than to make it u free
State nothing can be farther from the
truth. 1t Is well-known fact that the
President is opposed to slavery, but ii is a
ruth equally clear that the President is in
iaHcr of the Constitution, and VIII insist up
IT'S observance in all parts Of the Union =
This is all the South asks-all that she has
a right to demand. The charge, then, by
some of the opposition prints that the South
had been sold because Of the election Of
dr. Buchanan is more attributable to partt-
.aH prejudice than TO desire to DO Justice
Such charges reflect ne credit eli the oppo-
stion. If Mr. Buchanan had not keen
elected Fremont would have been, and this
the opposition well know but never men,
ton. Many of the opposition preferred
Fremont to Buchanan-raitors to thcir
home and country they now Charge the De
luooltcy and that noble band of patri-
ytic Wings who aided thcm-with the e.
lection Of ono untrue to the interests of the
South. If Gov. Walker has violated lis
instructions as he has donc) BY advocating
measures sioiativc of the doctrine Of populag
sovereignty, why not join the Daaeeratie
press in denouncing Gov Walker instead 81
the President. 1t Walker has proved Inn
self traitor tits no reason that the Ifesi-
ident should be one. Il is not fact that
the pro-slayery men have all the power il
their own hands, and that they would frame .
Constitution establishing slavery in iNansas
Much as this may have been desired, it is
undeniable that much of the difficulty in tic
way has been increased by the course of the
opposition press. It is too late now, We fear,
to remedy Che evil.
