Dows on WAKGs.-We announced. among
our Geographic items, that the State Conven.
ton Of the Black Democracy in Gsorgi. had
adopted resolutions condemninS the policy
o. walker IN kansas. The ground Of their
genera! objection Is that be fayors the sub.
mission OF the Constitution to vote az the
people. A further objection Is, tina, he ha.
expressed the opinion that Kansas would be
aFree State. Therefore they call upon Mr.,
Buchanan to remove him from of,ee.

We believe they will, and either Walker In,
