r. A. HUNTER ENDORSES WsLKER.-
1t Is quite c'ear that Robert A. Hunter
Democratic candidate for STAT, Treasurer,
not only votes free negroes 10 the parish
Of Rapiaes, but endorses the SAFE made
by Gov. Walker of the territory OF Kan
sas to tie free negro voting freesoii
Of the North. In regard to the verify
Of the latter proposition We have high
Democratic authority IL The Shreye>
port Gazette Of the SUI inst, we find the
subjonel report of lis remarks relative
to MansaS mattors made in aspeech de-
lIyered in that town on Wednesday, ID
inst. which the editor rronounces EVER
batim." Here We append the before
mentioned report. Said Col. Hunter;
Nv position az fsgar's Walkers conrse
in Kansas is this; That he did not sio
late his instructions, nor the principles
embodied in the Cincinnati Iluro1m,
when lie declared t!lat tbs Constitution
OF Kansas should be first submitted to
the people Of Kansas for their approval
or rejection before bei,,c sent to Congress.
| understand that be lWalke,l could
.nty mean when he says the people,
those whom the Convention shall declare
to be cnt;tlea to rote. / condemn Wal
ker for presumihg to say, what maght or
should be The action Of Congress in the
event Of this course not beirg taken hy
the convention, as an ntermeddiing witt,
What did not concern him, aod caicuia
ted to do harm"
We here SUI join the comments Of the
Gazette on the above extraordinary anti
Southern doctrine;
With regard to the above views, we
have TO remark that we differ in toto,
though it is proper to say, that we look
upon Co oneI Hunter as a gentleman oil
great personal worth, Of undoubted ca
pacity for the taton to which he aspiTes,
and we may aid, is a personal friend OF
our own in the strlctest sense OF the
word. But when principles are involved
we know no friendship, no oyerrulIng
influences of any kind that can, or ough.
10 keep us silent. We look upon Col.
Hunters remarks as aitording no explain
alton at all; he has,Jn fact, involved the
whole matter in Jog, in which nothing
can be clearly seen. Walker took a
position far beyond and in a form intin-
itely more offensive and dangerous to
TO the South, than wau'd be implied by
the remarks of Col Hunter. He went
so for as to demand that the new consti-
tuition be submitted to the whole people
of kansas-all who may be in the Ter
ritory at the time the constitution is
to be ratified. Now, the pi.h of Our
objection is that Walker should have
said anything about submitting the con
sti:ution at all, and that az he has assu-
med the right to intervene, it was done
in a spirit unfriendIy to Southern lnstl
tu.ions.

horrible phase in their legislation seems to
