The iudement we have formed of Kans,, Walker,
and the opinion We have expressed upsp his recent
proclamation, are not based, as The n. Y. Times
would seem, to imply, upon mere assumptions.
When Walker first went to Kansas We were per-
fectly willing 10 give him fair trial We accepted
the fair promises he repeatedly put forth shortly
after bis arrival in the Territory Of securing to the
resident inhabitants the rights guaranteed 10 them
by the Kansas Nebraska bill, as sincerely AMI truth
fully made It is only because Walker has totally
failed to perform any of his past promises that we
place no confidence in his recen! professions. So
far from securing to the people Of the Territory,
or doing anything to secure to them, fair eY-
press.On of popular opinion at the polls, through
bis ignorance and neglect Of his duties-to hook at
the matter in the most favorable light, aud tha. in
which by way Of apology for himself be attempts
to place it-be gave occasion to an apportiOnment
which dsfranchises half tue inhabitants of Kansss,
and go eontryed rs TO neutraze the votes of even
the comparatively small number of Free State men
who enjoy the right of suffrage under it.
As an offset to this sacrifice through his isno-
rance and negligence, if no: by his direct conriy.
sDce, Of the rights Of the Free-State men, he pub.
lishes proclamation expressing he opinion in
contradiction to the published opinions of the
Attorney General and one of the Federal Judges of
the Terrtory-that the payment Of the bogus tax 10
rot prerequisite to voting. But to enforce this
rule so far as the members Of the Territorial Leg.
slsture are concerned he does 10. even pretend 70
have suy power much less any intentions and even
a. 10 the Territorial Delegate he goes no further
than to susgest that, as it rests with him to
give the certificate, be viii have the power
Of refusing it if not satisfied that the person return
ed is elected, not merely BY msjOriy Of the votes
received, but by majority Of those that susht to
have been received. Yet while thus, as if by way
of terror to the elsetion judges suggesting thii
power, he is very careful not to commit himself by
apy promise to exercise it; so that after all his pro-
clsmaton Of four OF five columns % far as it con.
taips any rleam of consolation and announcement
TO the Free Stats men, amounts simply TO this:
that be very much regrets that through his iguo-
rance of the duties Of bis Office and bis neg gence in
leaving those duties to be discharged by deputy
instead of assuming them himself, the people of the
Territory have had imposed upon them most out
rsseOus and unfair spportioEment ani that be

The Herald boasts good deal Of its power, but d
must be very weak and timid affair after all Il
seems that it is now in such narrow pass that {
cannot safely print the name of the Hon. Daniel L
Sickles even in its advertising columns. Apoltcl
advertisement containing this formidable name VA
paid for at The Herald the other evening, but wAa
printed the next morning, the name Of Mr.. Sict@
was struck out. The reason is that Mr.. Scke
has prosecuted the editor Of The Herald fora LIBEL
and accordingly that journal will not suffer the
name of Sickles to be mentioned even among Id
advertisements.
Now this is poor and petty business, which 10
newspaper with little seryicesble brains in IL
ditor's skul would be guilty of. There have bss
eversl signs lately that The Herald is falling into
ecrepitude, but this would seem to leave no doubt
en- the subject. When an editor becomes afraid b
publish the news, he had better retire.

kept him out of John Tyler's Cabinet, blew hin

turned only to reap laurels in the fields of Mexico,

the Supreme Bench of Massachusetts,. Thence he
rose 10 be q chosen friend and adviser Of Mr..
Pierce. And if now he should be made Supreme

the antitheses of his history would be complete

The architects Of commercial ruin, the profes.
sional panc-msters, who make this city their head
quarters and who for the last four weeks have hsd
il pretty much all their own way had great expect
atoms from the meeting Of Boston merchants held
on Friday afternoon. AS preliminary to breaking
down the New York banks, these gentry are exceed
iDgly anxious to break down those of New England.
1t has been repeatedly given out by the panic organ
Of this city, that tie New England banks must,
shall and will suspend. The psnic-makers received
the call Of the Boston meeting with sndsh delight,
as the first step to such movement, and as such
they telegraphed il from one end Of the Union to
the other. But The meeting took entirely ano!her
turn. The idea of suspension was emphatic,lly
repudiated and although there were not wanting
one or two outof town repre- sentatiyes Of the
panic party, who argued that bank suspension was
the only remedy for the present troubles, the meet
ipg most decidedly rejected that psuedy as alto
Re.her verse than the disease.

The steamer Star Of tie Woss arrived safely yos-
terday morning, having been detained at A'pia"au
BY the pss-arrirs, at Panama Of the steamer on
the Pacific side in the usuhl time. She brings the
maiIs Of Sept and nearly 81 800 900 in treasure.
Contrary to the general expectation, this arrival has
fuInihed 30 list Of the passengers that left Csifor
mia On the 10th Of August BY the steamer Sonora
which connected with the Central America as tue
Ishmus. There is hence no probability OF fell
list Of the passengers being received before the i3h
Of November, by the steamer 10 the lstamus,
which carries the intelligence Of the loss Of the
Central America to San Francisco. The custom of
the California agent is to forward the names OF the
passengers By the same steamer in which they are
conveyed and the Sonoras list was on the steamer
Central America, when she went down.

The Legislature Of Pennsylvania is 10 meet st
Harm burg Tomorrow. TIE cause for this extra
ordinary event is the failure of the banks Of the
State to meet their engagements, and the desire,
in which it is believed that Gov. Pollock is a
sbarer, to procure legaliza,ion of this failure.
We trust that no bill authorizing an indefinite
suspension of the banks, or a suspension for
any heightened term, viii receive the sup.
port of the Republican members of the Legsla-
ture. Their fret duty is toward the public at
large who hold the bills of these institutions This
duty is TO see that the bills are redeemed at their
full value at the earliest possible moment; and to
STE, Also that the security for .uch redemption is
increased rather than diminished.
The banking system of Pennsylvania has radi-
cal defects which .houd frat of all be remede1, as
a co1dition even of the shortest extension Of the
time for the resumption Of specie payments In
the 6rst place, the banks nov exist by special
charters, granted at the pleasure of the party in
power, ard thus made servceable for political pur
poses. This should be swept away, and general
banking law, throwing tie business Of banking
open to everybody who can give the necessary
ure of the banks of Pennsylvania may cause great
loss to the bihOlders. AL the banks in New
York may fail and the bill holders still be sure that
their notes will be made good to the uttermost
cent. Such system should be adopted in Penn
sylvanis, and no time can be better for it than the
present.
Then IT, banks of Pennsylvania are not permit
ted to is,ue small notes. This is nconyenient, and
as the result has shown, useless. These is sense
in allowing note of So, and prescribing one of
-. AL that is necessary is to have the payment
of the small notes properly guaranteed.
With these measures of radical reform the banks
of Pennsyl lyania would no doubt be able to resume
specie payments at .uch early day as the Legsla-
tuIe may deem best TO fix for the purpose. But
without some such changes there seems to be very
little Use n attempting to keep the banks out OF
the slough in which they have sunk If they will
not accept the conditions which the public security
and the general convenience require, let them go
INTO liquidation.

Financial matters looked little brighter on
Saturday than they have done of late. Fewer
failures than usual were announced, heavy pay.
ments were made with uuex xpected promptncss, and
the leading stocks sold at an advance from the de-
preston of Friday The drafts on the Sub -Trea
sury failed to arrive from Washington but will
come to hand to-day, and, with the treasure by the
Star of the West, will supply the specie of which
everybody continues TO stand in need On the other
hand, the feeling of merchants is still gloomy, and
their confidence in each other faint. The best
paper is taken with reluctance The well known
house Of Dodge Clark & Co. has suspended in con-
sequence Of heavy advances to their Boston house,
J. w. Clark Il Co., which bad previously sus-
pended. The firms of Bowen. Ely & Mcconnell
and Of Gage, Sloan & Slater have also suspended.
The Powell Bank of Newburgh, the Windham
County Bank of Connecticut and the Bank of Ash
land, Kentucky, were thro8n out On Saturday.
The Hudson River and the Farmers Bank, the
two banks Of Hudson, have both suspended Their
bills are fully secured, and the business men Of the
place have generally agreed to take them at par The
casble. of the Exchange Bank Of Lockport, which
reported TO have suspended, Gays that if is sol
vent iDd in regular operation.
The City Bslks, though hard pressed, have no
thought Of suspeDdipg; and Chicago has resolved
with Boston to stand BY us. The Bank Commits
sioners Of Connecticut are said to be vigilant and
faithful The Auditor of Virginia says that notes
of all the State Banks will be taken in payment for
revenue. The fact that the Reading Railroads
notes have gone to protest will not tend TO
strengthen confidence in railroad securities. The
Long Dock Company and the Cumberland Coal
Company followed suit on Saturday. The Erie
paid everything due, and Eve sixths of the sub
scription to her S6O000O loan is already made up.
In Bosten there was little change for the better.
In Philadelphia, the depression amounts almost to
a paralysis. We hear of workmen being thrown
out Of employment oil over the country.
