The following able summary of the grounds Of com.
nlant against Gov Walker on the part of the South
ern peopIe and press we find in the jackson Missis

Simply reiserating what we have said on previous
occasions that the Mississippan is the leading Demo-
satic organ Of our sister State-that, with one ex
csption 1t has been the official gazette of the com
monwealth for quarter Of q century or more-and
that Il wields an immense influence over the Demo-
cratic Masses append the article above referred to

have written in vain, if our position is misunder-
stood.
when The charge is made that Robert ]. Walker
has transcribed the limits Of his duty, and manifestly
to the etfient Of the slaveholding States violated
the language and intent of the Kansas BILL by die
tating that the people Of Kansas, when they assem-
bic ID Convention to frame their organic law shall
submit II to all the inhabitants Of the Territory with
out regard TO their legal qualifications under penalty
in case Of their refusal to comply with his demand
Of having their application for admission into the
Union rejected by Congress and the President and by
officially proclaiming the political status of the Ter
rit0y, and arguing that its soil and climate forbid
the pernianence Of slavery within its borders, to-
gether with HIS intermeddling in the Convention
election and organizing socalled conservative free

very partv-we assert that when it is charged that
Gov Walker the appontee Of the President, is guilty
OF thse tansgressions, the charge necessarily in
wolves tie appointing power if it does not by remov-
ing him. o. some other method signify its disapproval
OF his acts. 4'fi K
We have shown from his instructions that Walker
has violated his commission yet notwithstanding this
fact is preposterous to deny that the President has
taken upon his shoulders the burden of Walkers
mouth piece, the Union has gone far to asperse
the motives Of the Southern Democracy who have
censnred Walkers transgressions and to class them
with such dangerous higher law fanatics and trail.
tors Greeley Garrison and other Northern conspira
tors against the Constitution Of the United States
and The peace Of the country thereby adding gross
insult to outrageous wrong and injustice.
There y no sane man who will dispute the fairness
OF these conclusions. If it be true that Walker has
done wrong, (and this all admit) it cannot be said
that the President is right since he not only refuses
to recall rebuke him, but through his accredited
organ heaps bitter fensure and undeserved oppro-
brium upon the Independent, unboueht and unawed
Southern Democracy who have earnestly but respect
fully protested against the wanton violation of the
Kansas bill and the great Democratic doctrine of
Legislative and ETecutire no.interJerence piM sia
pe,g in The Territories.
We know that timeservers have said that the ac-
ton of our State Convention was premature" 1t
premature only in the event the charges against
Gov. Walker were without foundation. But they are
admitted to be true. When partisans assert that the
action of the Democracy was " premature" they
really mean that the Convention did not wait for
ders from the seat Of Federal power before it ex-
pressed its convictions upon questions Of vital mo-
ment to the South and the country. For ourselves,
anxious as we are to accommodate our views to the
policy Of the administration, proud to feel
utter loathing and detestaon for that excessive and
slavish difference to authority, which would prompt
feemen to abandon the right of thought, and to sac
rifce on the altar Of expedency, principles which
they have ever cherished. This we know ; the honest
and sincere Judgment Of the Democratic masses is
not TO BE- quelled by the frowns of power. The De-
moerany Of Mississipp deliberately asserted their
opinion the 6tate Convention, and have continued

popular will obtains utterance. They will speak in
guage yet more authoritative at the ballot-box in
