GOV. WALKERS INAUGURAL ADDRESS

One of the chief merits of Gov Walkers inaugural
address is its entire freedom from the warpng inHu-
ences of simply partisan views He addresses him
SELF not to democrats black-repubcans, pro-sla-
very or free-State men, although he has few en-
phatc words to say EACH but to the whole people
of the whole Territory, and with degree of earn
estness and eloquence which will command univer-
sal attention if il does not general conviction
Happily for the country and the great principle with
which, if we may so call it, Gov. Walkers mission
is identified, such change has taken place in the
private sentiments and private affairs of the people of
this onccdsacted Territory that the words of patr
otic counsel and concation are not likely TO fall
unheedcd and unimproved. Free, social intercourse,
candid and frequent interchanges of opinion, and
community of business interests, great foes to
dearly cherished errors, sectional prejudiccs and
iealousies, and to bgony and intolerance of every
form and hue And we take it that the cordial wei
come that has been extended to Governor Walker by
the people of Kansas irrespective of party, and the
general confidence apparently which they repose in
his statements and assurances are the legitimate
fruits of the partial working out of principle which
lies at the very foundation of republican institu
tons. Since the presidential election the people of
Kansas have felt that the outside pressure has re-
laxed in no slight degree; and no profitable
political market can be found at present for their
"shricks," they have been permitted to engage in
agricultural and mechanical pursuits to found towns
and cities and to have an almost realizing sense of
the vast riches of domain which acquired by
the common treasure and the common sacrifices of all
the elder States The result of this partial nonnter
venton is before If there is sincerity in the pub
lie and private sentiments of the leading citizens of
Kansas it may be regarded as fixed fact that the
popular-sovereignty principle is generally rec
ognised as rule of political action by the people Of
that Territory and that they ready and willing to
apply that principle in the settlement Of those un-
happy differences which at one time surround
cd with so many serious dangers to the peace and
even safety of the Union.
The great principle imbodicd in the Nebraska
Kansas act has already been ratified by direct vote
of the American people, and its consttutionality rec
ognised by the highest judicial tribunal in the land.
The whole country, no less than the administration
desire that the differences and difficulties in Kansas
should be adjusted and settled in accordance with
that principle. The long and distinguished public
career of Governor Walker, his ardent patriotism
his lofty talents and his remarkable capacities for the
practical duties of craftsmanship are no slight guar
antecs that in the discharge of the peculiarly delicate
and important responsibilities which he has assumed,
he will not disappont public expectation or sully
brilliant political record.

A FmE.-HoRRIBLE ScHE.-The most heart-rending
spectacle that it has been painful duty to record
occurred in Aeppo township, Stcubenve, Ohio,
the 25h ult The house belonging to Mr. Peter Lyons
who resides in that township, burned to ashes while
he in the field at work The only occupants of the
house at the time of the fire Mrs Lyons and small
child Mrs. Lyons having discovered the fire, which
originated in the upper part of the building and leaving
the child lying the bed, she went to get some water
but ON attempting to return to the house she pre-
vented by the flames After making several unsuccessful
attempts to effect an entrance in order to her child
from the devouring flames her clothes unfortunately
caught fire and were literally consumed.
When Mr.. Lyons returned he found Mrs Lyons lying
short distance from where the house had stood almost
in the agones of death The child not rescued and
nothing remained of il but few of its bones Mrs Lyons
at last aocounts not expected to survive but very
short time -!S,abtarlls Ohio Herald
