Inc hlchmond Examiner, of the 10th inst,
rePublishes the letter of instructions to Gov.
Walker, from the Secretary of State in which
the following passage OCCURS:

Of Kansas, and the attainment of which viii bring

10 this Gov. Walker finds his warrant and
authority, for his course, as laid down both in
bis inaugural, and his Topeka speech; and the
President was bound by every consideration
of honor and good faith to uphold and sustain
him.
In its defence of the ADMINISTRATION, the Es-
dnainer is becoming quite severe upon the
Southern leaders Of the democracy. In the
same issue above quoted it says:
Especially does Mr.. BUCHANAN mean to rely
on the people for support and guidance in the diff

The candidates for the Chief Magistracy of
this State speak at this point on Wednesday
next. We trust that every voter in the coun-
ty will be in attendance if possible. 1t is es-
pecially due to Bob HattOn that he shall be
heard by the whole of our voting population,
if they can be gotten together on the occasion.
He has been the subject of the grossest mis-
representation and abuse,-his ability as
speaker has been deprecated, and his claims
upon popular support rdiculed; whilst his
competitor has been held up as a statesman
of splendid talents and ripe experience, the
peer in intellect of any man of his country"
We want our people to hear them and learn
for themselves the true strength Of the men,
and their principles. We shall be willing to
abide the result; We have no fears of Bob
Hatton. The boy who has, by his own irwin
chile will and untiring energy, worked his way
from the plough-handle to his present posi-
ton, can never make a failure. He may lack
the polish of the couruer, experienced in the
arts and intrigues of the Federal Capital, but
he has something better, the trough diamond
qualities of life amongst the hard-fsted but
kind hearted yeomanry Of the country. 1t is
the possession and exhibition of these sterling
I qualities which have made for him, wherever
he has gone, from one end of the State to the
other, reputation scarcely inferior to any
ever attained by a speaker in Tennessee. They
| have endeared him to the great-hearted mass
es everywhere, and are bearing him onward
| and upward to high position. In conclusion,
we would again urge general attendance on
| the speaking Wednesday.

know how both be aud Harris stood upon that
question. He answered promptly that he OPP

the Democratic candidate for congress, imme.
diately said something to Harris in an undertone;
suggested to him, 1t is thought, an evasion OF the
matter, which he did, for in his reply he failed to
mention it at all. The audience were eager, aux-
ious, but he was dumb--he couldn't talk. He will
find that the people vote. The effect of Hat

which placed him amongst the able inteects of

The national Democracy of Kansas.

The National Democracy OF "A uns1ss
Our readers are aware that a recent demo-
cratic convention of Kansas, seoonding the
movement of the Administration to make that
territory democratic free State, "passed
resolution endorsing the policy OF Gov. Wal
ker." This fact has been heralded to the
country by the apologists for that policy, as
reason why all opposition outside of Kansas
should be silenced. For ourselves we do not
belive the free State democracy of Kansas, are
auv better friends TO the South than the free
State republicans, and the difference mainly
hinges. on the question which of the two
shall obtain the political power Of the new
State. But we beg leave to present 10 our
democratic friends of Tennessee, the view
taken by as warm and Jealous a democrat as
the country affords, which holds that the en-
dorsement OF the Walker policy by the Kan
sas Democracy, instead Of affordng reason
for withdrawing opposition, should Increase it.
Il is from the Jackson AississiPPiaR, and is as
follows:
