Walkers Proclamation.

The proclamation of the Governor Of Kan
sas, is destinedin all probability to involve
the gravest political consequences. Itthreat-
ems nothing less than the Reorganization Of
the Administration party, and transfer Of
the great struggle against Slavery propa-
gandism directly into the centre of the Adj
ministration party.
Gov Walker gives the most conclusive
reasons for rejecting the vote of Oxford pre-
cinct in johnson County; first, because of
the irregularity in form of returns; and
second, from the evidence furnished by a Wis
it to the precinct, of the physical impossi-
bility of its casting legally over one-tenth OF
the vote credited to it in the returns. BY
rejecting this vote the Free-State party obtain
clear majority in the LEGISLATURE. The
pro-slavery party are greatly incsnsed at this
result, and threaten the Governor and his
Secretary with every variety of vengeance,
political and PERSONAL Stanton has bene
challenged by one Of the macontents, and
the judicial power of the Territory has been
invoked to compel the Governor to give GER
ti6cates to these who, for the want of bet
ter name, we must call bogus delegates. The
wrath of the extremists is proportioned to
their disappointment, and relying upon the
countenance which their past proceedings have
received from Senators Davis and Brown, in
Mississippi, from Hunter and Mason in Virgin
ia, as well as from the legislatures of Geor-
gia and South Carolina, they have taken the
4 question tossAAington. Mr.. Buchanan is
asked to REGAL Walker. Ifhe refuses, he is
threatened with majority in both Houses Of
Congress against his administration, and per-
haps arejection of Walkers nomination, upon
which the Senate has yet to pass. So formid
able is the assault esteemed by Governor
Walker, that Stanton has been sent on tc
Washington to guard their position,
Mr.. Buchanan knows that if he yields, he
at once places Walker. at the head of par
ty in the North, against which the Admins
traton would be powerless. In either case
whether he sustains Walker or abandons him
the consequence must be the same-a reno
val of the sectional line which divides til,
North and the South, politically, several de
grees farther South in other words, divis
ion of the Administration party upon tn
, subject of slavery. This will involve as W
have already minated, the gravest conse
quences. 1t must inevitably lead to the fol-
nation of party so strong and united a
the North as to throw the slavery questio
surnmarily out Of our national politics, til
when it is impossible to have such a centra
government as its wisest and best citizens de
sire. The slavery interest is the great refrac
ing medium through which every public que
ton now has to pass and by which ever
> public question is distorted. Let the Mort
once unite and declare, by a decisive vot
: that there shall be no further increase
t slave representation in Congress, and elect
, President to dispense the patronage of Il
d general government upon that principle, Al
a there is an end of the slavery agitatio
q Then the moral energy of the American pc
pie, now divided and weakened by this sc
tonal question, would be united and il
, estible, and the legislation of the natl
!, would be worthy Of its suspicious you
d and its enterprisng smaturity.-Eve. Pa
