KANsAs.-When Walker accepted

KANsAs.-When Walker accepted
the reins of government in Kansas, it
was announced he did SO with the intent
to plhy game for the next Presidency.
His curse soon brought down upon him
the al nathemas of the South-he played
too strongly for the free-soil votes of
the U Mon and the good will of the Free
State party of Kansas. The title of
traitor became familiar to his ears, com
ing from the section in which he was
born, But at the critical moment when
the confidence of the North had begun
but slightly to take root; and while the
anger of the South was on the rise, Wal
ker returns to the faith of his fathers
and blasts the nascent hopes of the
North, feeble though they were, by
throwing the destinies of the embryo
State into the hands of the very men
who enacted the Kansas code-a code
which Gen. Cass declared would dis
grace the statute books Of any civilized
State, and whose abrogation even John
b. Weller is said to have, in one of his
more lucid intervals, favored. Instead
of assuming the responsibilities, which
brave men only dare, and towards new
er, and seeing justice meted out to the
people of Kansas-instead of so meet:
ing the crisis that the voice Of the people
might be heard he turns over the dirty
job of disfranthisement 10 a set of men
whose claim to infamy has been es-
tallished by such men as Cass and
other lights of Democracy. The game
was made and Walker cried "roll."
The Dracos Of Kansas DISTINGUISHED
nineteen counties where Free State men
do most congregate,' giving but three
delegates to the entire nineteen, and al
lowing thirty-six delegates to thirteen
counties where the right stripe exist.
Not content with this stroke of policy,
the entire immigration of 1877 is de-
prived of the privilege of voting.
Under the operations of the Kansas
Nebraska act. at the first election in the
Territory, all foreigners, whether natu-
rallied or not, were granted the elective
franchise. At the commencement Of
the career of Kansas as an organized
Territory, any person was competent to
be heard at the ballot box, but now a
critical time has arrived when educated
native bonn citizens-bona fide citizens
of the Territory as well as of the United
States-are deprived of the preroga
tires of freemen.
Iu a game for the Presidency a pal
pahle violation of principle, said to be
at the bottom of the Kansas n ebraska
act. namely, that the people of Terri
tory shall have the right to determine
their own affairs for themselves. is rather
too barfaced to win. Let us have an
explanation of this affair from the pro-
fessedly Sound" men of the Dcmoc-
racv.

NEVADA, Sept l, 1S57.-To the Voters
Of Nerdda Comfy: In the last Nevada
Journal appeared articles containing the
opinions of Judge WALSH upon ques-
ton Of vital Importance to every Miner.
1t was declared that he was in favor of
the sale of the Mineral Lands His
opiHions have been long known in Grass
Valley and Nevada, if not in other
parts Of the county. The report went
abroad soon after his nomination and
wasin every body's mouth before the sub
stance of it appeared in the columns of
the J0ulmal His opinions were so well
known, and so often publicly express ed,
that 10 one believed him capable of
placing himself in a base position by Il
denial But at the latest moment be-
fore the election denial has come
On Monday evening a Secret Circular
was issued from the Democrat Office, not
single copy was allowed to pass out of
the hands of Judge Walsh and his sat
elites, but all were snatched up and
carried post haste to the extremities of
the county to find a more credulous
market than this city affords, where
Judge Walsh's views are too well
known.
Evidently it was the design of Walsh
and his friends to allow no refutation.
The late hour at which his Circular was
issued leaves no doubt of it. The Sc
cresy of the document is another proof,
and also demonstrates his fear of afida-
Wits fastening the facts upon him.
Late as the moment is, however, men
of unimpeachable veraclty have come
forward and solemnly sworn to the facts.
They are DESTROYS that the truth shall
be known and that the Miners of the
county be not deceived. Dozens are
ready to corroborate with their oaths
the statements below made, and did time
permit would cheerfully do so.
Read, Voters of the County, the
sworn statements of men, than whom
there are none more reliable! Judge
ye, of candidate for the Senate who,
for the sake of votes on the eve of an
election, will deny the oft-repeated
opinions of past years

hdllSdS AIdlIS.
The recent news from the States
shows that the Kansa embr0glio is vet
far from a solution. Walker seems to
have put himself into a foolish position
by his advance upon Lawrence, and the
people Of that town are laughing at his
expense. He issued proclamation de-
nouncing them as traitors for daring to
organize under a charter granted by
the free State Legislature, at a time
when they were without any govern
ment, and the sanitary condition of the
town was totally neglected. Following
up his proclamation, he marched at the
head Of the troops designed for Utah,
and encamped on the sultry plains, to
besiegc the town, or reconnoiter for an
assault. As no martial array sailed
out to meet him, and the heaviest train
of artillery crossing his path was certain
milk and meat wagons, he thought he
would go into the city before making
wage of battle, trusting to his official
mightiness to save lis bacon from the
dreadful trait rs inside He went into
the town. One of the hotel keepers po-
litely invited him to dinner, which he
ate in silence, and unnoticed, when he
sailed forth and found the citizens I'M
concernedly pursuing their ordinary oc-
equations, entcrely oblivious to the fact
that his little Excellency was in their
midst. and displaying none of the "pomp
and circumstance of war" whatever.-
Enraged
- because the people would not rise
In spite OF his threats and prophecies
he went moodily back to his encamp-
ment, and has been ever since sulkily
keeping to his tents, with the prospect
of gaining that kind of renown acquired
by the ancient worthy who marched ten
thousand men up hill, and then

a more serious and palpably unjust
manicure of his Excelle1cy has been
the apportionment just made for dele
gates TO the next territorial Legislature
Nineteen large free State counties have
three representatives, while thirteen
pro-slavery have thirty-six. Walker
lodged the responsibility of this Job,
and laid the task upon the Speaker and
president of the last Legislature. The
aim seems to be to perpetuate the laws
in the territory which men of all parties
have joined in declaring Infamous. We
have never believed that Buchanan or
his officials ever designed 10 carry out
squatter sovereignty, or give fair show
to the people of the territories to choose
their own institutions and while the
United States government lends itself
to force slavery upon the territories, SO
long there will be powerful party in
the North in Observation-Disclosures call
ed Republican, Democratic or Ameri-
can. The only way to kill the North
ern sectional party is to give the people
OF the territories entire freedom to form
their own institutions, secure from gov
eminent interference.

IRE ELECTIoN.-The election of We'd
nesday was the most quiet and orderly
one the city has yet witnessed. A part
of the time during the last hours of the
day few noisy ones were huddleG
about the polls pulling and hauling each
other, but generally sobriety and order
were observed. In the morning few
dry knocks were exchanged between a
couple of belligerants, and some excite
ment created in consequence. Itpassed
off, however, without evil effects, and
good humor seemed to reign among the
crowd after the event, generally, to the
closing Of the polls. A more quiet cleo
ton is rarely to be witnessed in a coun-
try town of the East.
AS an indication of the want of inter
est manifested OH the occasion we NAV
mention the disproportion between the
vote of last year and this. A wonder
ltI On II ulSCON tIGu. Last wear
the vote of the city was 2,0S5. 1t only
amounted to 1928 this year. The Pres
idential contest, doubtless, however, in
creased the vote of last year somewhat,
and the candidates for Sheriff, County
Clerk and other valuable offices, bent
their efforts to bring out the voting pop
ulation. Teams were not called into
requisition this year as last, and very
little money, if any, was used. In fact
the only interest shown at the polls on
Wednesday was in the election of Bur
ton. A great deal of scratching was
donc;> but in silent way. Plumer's
name was extensively erased but no
open opposition to him like that to judge
Walsh was to be observed. The dav

in the annals of the city.
