as conspicuous and leading participants in the long
series of frauds and usurpatons by which the
FreeStae men have been barassed, despOiled and

g. 1t is fact flat "poor Pierce" did try to re-
move Jenreys Ltcompte from the Chief Justice
chip Of Kansas, and actually nominated a successor
to the Senate. That stronghold Of Slavery failed
TO act on the nomination. The Senate having ad-
icurned, Mr.. Buchanan could now easily effect
what "poor Pierce" so properly attempted-only
be won't. Why not
4. 1t iss fact that "poOr Pierce appointed
Free-State Buchanan Democrat Postmaster at

Of his term; and that Buchanan has turned him out

patronage in Kansas is given, so far as we are
aware by Mr.. Buchanan's Administration to the

How is this neigbbOrl
- Now as to " the safeguard" which The Herald
finds for tie People Of Kansas in Gov. Walkers
official declarations" we must say tina. we con-
slider them very poor reliance. 1t was Gov.
Walkers duty to have made fsir apportiOment
for The Legislature TO be chosen IN October; but
he neglected it, and let the power fall into the
hands of the presiding officers of the late Border
Rufiap Legislature which ba, done up the work
as iufamously as was to have beer expected. zen
The Times, the regular Walker organ in this City,
declares thst it cannot excuse the Governors
course in this matter. Then Mr.. Justice Ala

it is given ont that he is indignant at this, does
nothing publicly 10 counteract it. 1t is notorious
that the Border Ruifans of Missouri are organizing
to come over and vote at the October Election,
yet Gov Walker does Got eTen issue a PrOclama.

Gov Walker fayors the Border Ruiians TO the ut
most, while We are asked to trust his promises of
fairness and justice il some future contingency.
We cannot do it.
--As to Alr. BucLsnsn's alleged Obligation to
execute the laws" imposed on Kansas by the
Missouri invaders, We dony it Altogether 1t was
r,ther his duty 10 execute the law makers, espe-

of The Herald.
