ng this. What other mo-

tive could they have?
We do most devoutly believe that, unless |
the constitution of Kansas submitted TO d.
rect vote Of the people, the unhappy contro-
vercy which has heretofore ragged in that
Territory will be prolonged for an indefn-
lie time to come. We are equally weu convin-
ced that The wiA Of The majority, ,oheiher II
be for or against Siapery, ,oiA finally triumph,
though Il may be after years Of strife, disaster
Gus 10 The best interests Of country, and dan
gsrous, Il may be, 10 the peace and safety of
The tphole Union.
Again: This movement of the territorial
authorities form a constitution is made not in
regular way, in pursuance of an enabling
and authorizing act of Congress, but on the
mere motion Of the territorial legislature ITSELF
Nay HAS BEEN BEGUN AND CARRIED ON
IN THE TEETH OF REFUSAL BY CONGRESS
TO PASS SUCH AN ACT. This irregularty is
not fatal. There are other cases in which
it was overlooked. But it can be waived
only in consideration Of the fact that the
people have expressed their will in unmis.
taxable language. II we dispense with the
legal forms OF proceeding we must have the
substance.
We think, for these reasons, that Gov.
Walker, in advocating a submission OF the
constitution to a vote Of the people, acted
with wisdom and justice, and followed the
the only line Of policy which promises to
settle this vexed question either rightly or
satisfactorily. In this respect at least he
has done nothing worthy Of death or bonds.
IfHere are some extracts from south
ern papers, which, in part, called forth the
foregoing article from the Washington I'm

From the N o. Delta.
| Il Bedst--HS Characteristics and Habi-
fudes. -Macaulay says Of the princess Ann
that when she was in good humor she
was meekly stupid, and when she was in a
bad humor she was sulkily stupid. Her
stupidity, though it might be qualified by
incidental circumstances as regarded its
manifestation, was stupidity still, invariable
and invinciple. So Anti Slavery at the
North may take the ainable shape Of De-
mocracy at one time, or the truculent form
OF Black Republcanism at another time;
but all the time it is Anti-Slavery and Moth
ing but Anti Slavery, steadlast and impac-
able.
This proposition requires no special argu-
ment when proof is SO patient and exam
plies are becoming SO abundant. The truth
is, so far as concerns the South, for all
practical purposes, there is but one great
political beast at the North; and whether
it bray like donkey, or speak with for
ward and backward voice like Caliban, il is
the same beast throughout, with the same
ineradicable instincts and propensites.
There seems to be a peculiar elective
affinity between the beast and the Hon.
Rob'tJ. Walker, the Administrations pro-
consular paciticator of affairs in Kansas
Indeed, the effect produced upon the beast
b. the Aourishes Of The latter's magic wand
has been wonderful to behold. All II,
forms rush at once TO do him homage; all
its voices blend in univocal praise. We
have seen Black Republican journals in
New York indorsing the programme Of the
ne y Governor of Kansas. We have seen
the Washington Union deluging him and
his Vastly message with its washy eulogy
We have seen the Democratic organ in Chi
caeo, the Times, congratulating the Democ
racy that Kansas, through the influences oil
the said Governor, ana Under the auspices
of Democratic Administrators, would be
engineered into the Union as free State
But it is needless to multiply any further
proof of the remarkable success with which
the beast in question preserves its identity
in the midst Of apparent or nominal diversi-
ty, and in all ATTITUDES or lOngitudes.
Fortunate, thrice fortunate, it is that the
ablest and honestest portion of the Demo-
cratic press at the South is beginning TO
discover that the beast we mention has 90,
into the Northern camp Of the party-il
not IN the Presidential mansion itself.
From the Jackson Mssissippian.
Enough! 1t is thus clearly in damning
testimony that all that has been said OF
Walkers Freesoil affiliations and intrigues
before his departure Tor Kansas, is posi-
lively true, and that he now stands unveil-
ed before the outraged South, self-convic.
ted traitor 10 her constitutional rights, and
in the detestable attitude of u man who has
degraded himself from high eminenoe in
national American craftsmanship TO the por-
ton Of Sumner or Hale. Nay, the CON-
parson is unjust 10 those distinguished
Freesoilers. They are true 10 their origi-

regeneration. But r. J. Walker,-the
man long a citizen of the South, whom
Mississippi honored with place and emou-
ment, trusting HIM with her precious desti.
MES even in the Federal Senate--he, daz
zled by the goal of the nations Presidency
perceptible to him only through the disma
vista of FreesOil, has prosttuted a great
trust, and sold the South that the aims of ar
unprincipled ambition might be subserved
Even TO rank with the apostate Fremont
he is unworthy. Let him stand alone, il
the enormity OF his disgrace by-word OIL
every Southern lip, and the contempt ant
hate OF lhate national patriotism which h,
has betrayed.

1t is we'll for the Administration to real

depths by the official intermedding OF Walk

South is sincere and earnest, and must b.
