met at Jackson. for the purpose Of nominating
candidate for governor, and other officers, on
the22d ult., adopted the following preamble and
/ resolution denouncing tie inaugural address Of
governor Walker, Of Kansas, and its squattel
sovereignty features:
/ Whereas, Governor Walker, in his inaugu
raj address to the people Of Kansas territory
] declared it to be his ..clear conviction tina
unless the convention called by law to form {
constitution for that territory submit the con
stituton to the pote OF all tie actual settlers q
:. Kansas, z at the time Of such submission, sthe
constitution will be and ought to be rejected By
congress
And whereas, The law of Kansas authors
ing the call of said convention and prescribing
its duties, makes no provision for such submls
sion to the then settlers of Kansas, nor prohib
Its congress from adopting the same without
such submission:
4 And whereas, Governor Walker further ar
CUES that Kansas, by reason of its geographi
/ cal position and climate, is unsuited to slave
labor, thereby gratuitously throwing the weigh
of his Judgment and official position against the
ultimate success of the pro-slavery party
4 Therefore 7E
Resolved, That we regard the said recon
mendations, opinions and arguments of gov
ernor Walker, as an unjust and uncalled fo
Y discrimination against the rights and interest:
of the pro-savery party in Kansas and through
outthe Union; an unnecessary and dlctatona
! intermeddling with the performance OF hgl
i public duty already entrusted by law to con
vention selected from the people of Kansas
with which governor Walker had no right t.
interfere; and his conduct in this respect, meets
the unqualified condemnation of this conyen
n ton. s s1@ t #5#
! The democratic state conventions of Georgls
and Mississippi having denounced the conduct
of president Buchanan's official representative
in Kansas; and the leading democratic jour
mails Of Mississippi, Georgia, Alabama, South
Carolina and Virginia, having branded the new
governor as traitor to the south, as freesoll-
er, and demanded his dismissal from Office, the
administration mast either promptly repudiate
his official acts ard recall him, OF bear all the
opprobrum WHICH now attaches to Walker.
Here is specimen of the manner in which
the officers Of the last session of the democratic
legislature Of Louisiana acquitted themselves
We copy from tie Baton Rouge Democratic
Advocate through the columns of which arc
promulgated the "eficial'' proceedings of the
senate and house Of representatives. The an
ticle appeared in that paper on the 3oth ult,
HOUSE REpoErs.-We received by mail this
morning, and will publish tomorrow the con
clusion of the reports of the last session OF thu
! house of representatives. The reporter has
performed his labors as they were never before
performed, and we trust the next Legislature
may be as fortunate in the selection of this Of
fcer as the last. Mr.. Levy S reports have beer
DELAYED by the illness OF himself and family
but the manner in which he has executed hi!
task will plead his excuse to those disposed te
complain The translator of the senate debate:
received his pay from the State, and left hi:
work to be done as best it could. The printer
has had it done at bis own charge. The trans
/ lator for the house is behind and seems likely
to be- He has translated some sixty five page
out of about one hundred and eighty.
The beauty ofthe whole affair IS, that ou1
/ democratic legislature in its love of party anc
/ spoils, voted hundreds ofdollars extra compen
sation to these delinquent officers.
