In an Conscience An...s. before you


Honest Democrats of Tennessee, answer Us
candidly, whether you have not been taught
to believe that the Kansas Nebraska bill was
intended and calculated to make Kansas a sEaUe
Slater and that its advocates were truer patri-
OTIS and friends to the South than its oppo-
nents9 Have you not been made to feel that
when man or a party, whether North or
South, was found to be trne to the Kansas
Nebraska bill, he or il was equally true to the
South, and could be safely trusted with its
great interests? Yet now behold what is GO
ing on in Kansas See what President Bnch-
anan-eleeted to saUe the South, 70 save Kan
sas, to guard your national interests against
the a6olitionists (as you were told) is doing
in Kansas, and in the other territories! Be
hold the great frauds the Democratic leaders
have been playing upon the masses eohO U0ted
Jor Nr. Buchanan. Mr.. Buchanan is now,
assuredly and deliberately, making Kansas a
free S-atel See-he sent Gov. Walker out
there-who freely declared during the late
Presidential canvass that Kansas s1ould be
free State-aoitb instructions lohich soere sure
to accomplish 1T. We have seen this Gov.
Walker travel out to the territory 10 company
with Senator Wilsonl Wehsveseen him meet
the rebel, Gov. Robinson and cordially sha-
king hands with him, calling him "GOUern0r, y
&c. We have seen him meet Lane, the rebel
Gen. Lane, who led on the Abolition military
! forces, to shoot down Southern men in Kansas
and how did he meet him? We answer by
! quoting an account of it as published in the
abolition New York Tribune:
Chow WALKER RECEIVED LANE.
"The General pressed forward and met Walker,
| ''who Jumped eagerly half way, grabbed the GEN
| ''eraPs hand, and shook it as earnestly as if he
''wauted to borrow money. The grip was returned,
land winks exchanged. Guess both gents are
| 'Masons.
"GoV. Walker then said in a clear, emphatic,
land distinct tone-'Gen. Lane, you cannot tell
''how happy 1 am to meet you upon the soil of
! Kansas
THE General thanked the Governor, and the
| "GOveFnor thanked the General, and both shook
Glands and winked again they separated, &c"
We have since seen Gov. Walker addressing
the people of the abolition town of Lawrence,
and elsewhere, and delivering an Inaugural,
which leading and true Southern Democratic
journals declare to be repete with views IN
tended to make Kansas a free State. Yet
Walker says in that Inaugural: With these
OLcOS WELL KNOWN To The RESIDENT AND OAB-
met, AND APPROVED BY THEM, / accepted the
appointment Of GOOernor Of Kansas" The
plain truth is, and no intelligent man doubts it,
they embody the actual views of the Presi-
dent, and of Messrs. Cass. Douglas and the 9TH
er great leaders of the Northern Democracy,
as is shown by an hundred Illustrations. But
these great leaders have won in the deep game
:hey were playiDg-won the spoi!s and power
of office, by flashing the North into excitement
on the slavery question, and rallying the South
about them to put down the Aboitionists; and
now they will win the North, by showing that
they haze done more for .tTees0U than the free
soiters proper had 1t in their pO,Oer to do!
But will patriotic Southern Democrats, I'M
der such circumstances as are now before Us,
! try TO win a victory in Tennessee which Mr..
Buchanan and his minions, would at once con
strue into an endorsement of his bold disclos-
ure, that the Kansas frat of his administra-
ton, is to be ashes and oindeTs in Southern
mouths? Would it not be far better for the
country that such stupendous doube-dealing
and fraud were at once and emphatically re-
buked? We ask such of our old-line Wing
friends as voted for Buchanan, to ponder well
these questions.
