4 Kansas Affairs.

We condense, says the indianapolis
Journal OF the 18th, the following news OF
affairs in Kansas. 1t will be seen that
warm times have been experienced, and
may return still more heated. The ac-
count we copy is from a Democratic, OF
Border Ruffian' Journal and of course
highly colored. But there is so much
truth in it as lies in the occurrence Of a
quarrel, and preparations for a fight, in
which Col. Jim Lane took his usual prom
nence. The news Of Walker unfair con-
duct at Paoli will not surprise anybody
He has spoken on both sides of the quar-
rel, and that he should abuse the Free State
men while among Democrats, is no more
than might have been expected. Still his
usual caution seems to have been conquer
ed by the direct and damaging blows OF
Mr. Foster at the Democratic invaders oil
Kansas. and he expressed himself in a man
ncr more in accordance with his true feel
inss than with policy. We begin to doubt
a little the Governors promise to have the
Constitution submitted to the popular vote
if he could. The attacks Of the Southern
press arc beginning to tell upon him, and
we shall not be surprised to learn that h
has improved some triiling pretext TO back
clear out of the whole scheme.
The letter from which we extract the ac-
count Of Walkers speech and conduct at
Paoli, is dated on the Sth inst. Speaking
of its being the head quarters Of the Demo
Gratis during the war last year, he says that
"thc Pro Slavery men are leaving the ter
ritory as fast as the majority in their neigh
borh ool is turned against them by Free
State arrivals" 1t says:

and his suite arrived there, and Walker.

multitude, in which they were extremely
lavish OF charges against free state men, the
Topeka constitution and the general policy
of our people. After three speeches on this
side had been made, Mr.. Foster of Ossa-
watomie. arose 10 reply. Some five han
dred were present and majority were free
state men. Mr.. Foster proceeded 10 delin-
cate the grievances we had suffered at the
hands OF the dominant political party in the
land, and pointed to Col Cofiey. who WAS
in the crowd as one who had been prom
inent actor in the rulhan army, and dared

tiers. At length some dozen revolvcrs were

and he was ordered to stop. The free

Walker. And worse yet, Immediately hc
took the stand and went on to denouncC
the obot;t,oniSts more unsparingly than cv-

cause of all our difficulties, and sustained
