AN UNNATURAL ASSOCIATION.


The intimate and substantial association in senti-
ment and action that exists between the Southern
Democratic supporters Of the Buchanan treach-
cry in Kansas. and the leading Freesoers and Free
soil organs Of the North, is alike strange and
unnatura-is calculated to make the heart sick and
the brain weary. To see Southerners-no matter how
few in number underwriting abolition endorsements
of Walker is truly a soulweakenng spectacle.
Last year the Richmond Enquirer and Examiner
were fiery proSouthern journals. Hardly day passed
that did not herald forth fervent professionals o' ae
votion to the South and denunciations OF Tue North
Now although the Enquirer at the dawn OF walkers
treason took strong and high ground asalnst NM
both are found on his side for, Justyng
and defending him, These, with the Memphis APP
peal and some hafdozen or dozen other Journals Of
that political stripe-of any great Importance we
mean-are the only ones that have forgotten their
duty to their section their featy to the South her
safety, rights, honor and interests, in Unsuitable
craving for the emouments of Office and official pa
tronage. That the gentlemen controlling these papers
have been influenced by the rays of the power and
pap dispensing sun at Washington, we have as little
doubt as that Walker has betrayed the South in Kan
sas or that the cohesive power of public plumber
Ito use the words of the illustrious Calhoun-is
mighty. .
& To these defences of Walker, by Southern men,
the Freesoil press Of the North responds powerfully
and enthusiastically. The New York Courier and
Enquirer. representing the Black Republican CONNER
cial interest Of the vast city of Gotham, thinks
Walker has acted with great propriety, patriotism
and Judgment. The New York Times, which is more
the organ of Senator Seward than any other news,
paper in existence, applauds Walkers conduct to the
echo. The New York Evening Post speaking for the
Parker, Cheever, Beecher fanatics and scoundrels,
follows suit. The Philadelphia North Americans
very respectable Freesoil sheet-deems Walkers pol
ICY which ensures Kansas to the Free State men,
altogether worthy unqualified commendation The
st. Louis Democrat-the foremost emancipation jour-
nal in Missouri-ooks upon Walker as the best Free
State man the Free State were ever blessed with
The Kansas Squatter Sovereign goes off into ecsacies
over the certainty of the Freesoil triumph superin
dueed by the deep laid schemes of Walker. The Gin
cinnat Gazette-the chief exponent of Black Repub-
lcanism in Southern Oho-enjoys itself hugely over
the fact that Southern man has been found to do the
work of its party so successfully, and that an admin
istraton elected by the South has been prompt in
endorsing the treachery of the infamous instrument
We might go on almost ad infnitum with such refer
ences as these, but we have given enough, we ina
gine to convince the Southern public that the princi
pal Freesoilers of the North well as the administra
ton of Mr.. Buchanan and few Democratic Southern
journals sustain approve and endorse the outrageous,
unprecedented, and grossly antiSouthern and anti
Democratic policy inaugurated in the Territory Of
Kansas by Governor Robert j. Walker. And that is
all we wanted to prove, at the outset

Georgia and Mississippi have done so far as practical
purposes are concerned denounce the migrate, and
hold the ngrates principal also responsible. If they
do not and that right speedily, too they will forfeit
the confidence and respect of the Southern people,
and lose all the influence they now possess over the
popular mind. wa
With the following extract from the Yicksburg
Sentinel strong Democratic journalof the 2sth
inst, we will bring this article to close:
It is these Black Republican papers (New York
Times and others) that are and have been planting
the seeds of treason to the Union, whose harvest il
suffered to be grown and reaped, will be inevitable
dissolution! Lying robbery and treason a triad of
u,tes the sole property of these Black Republicans
1t is these enemies of the South, these enemies of
true republicanis, these enemies of the Union that
are defending and laudng Robert j. Walker, who,
they say. has the courage and the patriotism to act
according to the dictates Of patriotic Judgment
We have condemned Walkers inaugural and his To-
peka speech His position should have been that of
neutrality, Of nonintervention, at least not of
couragement to Freesoilism and its consequences for
which all Black Republicanism throw up their hats
and with one voice shout for him, crying well done
