The south-western. [volume] (Shreveport, La.) 1852-1870, 1857-08-12

The VoIcE OF THE P EoPLE. The voice of con
demnation OF Gov Walker and president Buch-
anan rises loud and strong from the democracy of
the south from the deceived and betrayed mass
es, who have found, to their bitter disappoint-
ment and modification, that their erstwhlle
friend has transformed himself into second
Arnold.
We have already given the action of the
Georgia and Mississippi conventions, and noted
generally the agitation in the public mind which
the unparalleled Kansas treachery has produc-
ed. We shall now proceed to present several
other specimens. From the official proceed
ings of the third congressional district conven-
ton Of the democratic party ofthe State of Mis-
sissippi, held at Louisville Winston county
on Monday, July 9th, 1857 we extract the
following resolution which, among others, was
unanimously adopted:
Resolved That when the people of Kansas
have legally assembled in convention, and in
compliance with law have framed constitution,
republican in its character, preparatory to ad-
mission into the Union, and make application
for such admission; congress has no right to
reject and ought to admit them; and that Rob-
ert J. Walker, as governor Of Kansas, by coun-
selling, ID his inaugural, the rejection by con-
gress of Kansas from admission into the Union,
in the event that the convention thus assembled
should not submit for ratification the consttu-
ton thus framed to the unregistered abolition
disorganizeys of the territory, as well as by his
softand velvety reasoning therein contained, the
obvious tendency of which will be to strengthen
abolition feeling and mould the destiny of Kan
sas to suit abolition views-has departed from
that official neutrality, which duty required him
to observe, and he merits and hereby receives
from this convention, its unqualified condeanna-
ton. a5.
| Atza meeting of the citizens of Montgomery,
Ala, held shortly after the Walker treachery
had developed itself, very strong preamble
and resolutions denunciatory of governor Wal
ker were presented by the hon. W. L. Yancey,
and unanimously adopted. The resolutions
are long, forcible and interesting, and we shall
occasion This mere statement of their general
tenor must suffice for the present.
Col Stallworth, democratic candidate for
congress in the Mobile district, denounces both
Buchanan and Walker. He delivered speech
lately at Cahawba, in the course of which, ac-
cording to the report of the Selma Sentinel
rigid democratic journal-he said:
/ Col. StaIlworth then said that he belived that
Gov. Walker, ofKansas, was guilty of officious
intermedd]ing with affairs strictly belonging to
the people of Kansas, and therefore had been
guilty of yiozatiag the very first principles ana
objects of the territorial bill-ths he censured,
but before repudating the administration, he
wanted osee palpablv that Mr.. Buchanan coun-
tenanced this unusual and extraordinary con-
duct of governor Walker-he was yet disposed
to believe that Mr.. Buchanan was true to the
constitution, the principl of the Kansas Ne.
: braska law, but should it prove unfortunately y
to be true that Mr.. Buchanan should endorse
the conduct of Walker, thereby violating the
great principles promulgated by the democra
! cy through the Kansas Nebraska law, he acoult
repudiate Mr. Buchanan, and urge the souther'
people to rally as unit in demanding their right
! IN tie Union If they could, but ont ofay # the!

e At the democratic convention of the secon'
, congressional district of Georgia, at which tn
hon. Martin j. Crawford was nominated, he'll
in the town of Albany on the 18th inst, tn
subioined resolution was unanimously adopted
S Resolved, That the inaugural address of Gov
: Walker, in prescribing the terms on which con
n gress should admit Kansas into the Union, an
in attempting to dictate the submission of thel
constitution for ratification, and to what class c
:, persons constitutes apresumptuous interferenc
L in matters over which he has no legitimat
S control; and that the same address, in express
: ing his official opinion that Kansas would be
, come free State, and in presenting argument
< to support that side of the question, is gros
, departure from the principles of nom interventlo
# and neutrality which were established by tb
Kansas bill; and this convention has full con
S fdence that Mr.. Buchanan will manifest hi
fidelity to Ae principles sich carried linn into q
n flee, By reeuzzing governor Walker.
b The hon. Albert G. Brown, U. S. senate
s from Mississippi, in his speech at lazoo city o
!! the 14th inst, is reported by the 1azoo Sun
: have said:
n He didnot believe that Mr.. Buchanan woul
d suffer Walker to retain his place as governor {
S that territory, but if he did, the south shoul
: rise up and denounce him as false to the grea
, principles of the Kansas bill, and a traitor t
+ her best interests. He, for one, would do, sc
: and SO would every true southerner. X
The hon. David J. Bailey is the Democrat
I candidate for congress in the third congressior
dl ulStIlCt VI 0eOI Sid. LII d lettcl W Illc Coli
n mttee appointed to inform him of his nomins
q ton, dated jackson, Butts CO., Ga, July
1857" after accepting the honor conferred VI
on him, be says:
e 1t is more agreeable to be the candidate of
J. party that enunciates the principles upon whic
S it proposes to direct and control the govern
e ment, and is at all times ready to- enforce til
democratic lesson, that, however high the o
g ficials may be, they are never beyond the reac
e of popular rebuke; and l cheerfully endors
the resolutions of the convention, in letter an
G spirit, repudiating the POLITICAL orthodoxy
rs governor Walker. His silly oficlousness in a
y tempting, while a mere government agent,
IS impress any peculiar views he may entertai
d as to the future of Kansas upon the constitl
II ton Of that contemplated State, subjects him
e the censure Of all discreet and prudent men.
It will be recolected that the democratic Stat
convention of Georgia denounced the condu
n ex-governor Walker i'll the bitterest terms, an
n demanded at the hands of the president his rt
/ call. Mr.. Bailey unquali6edly endorses tn
d action ofthat convention, as all loyal southern
IL ers should
