The 7sms approves Of the action Of the
Governor in throwing ont the illegal returns
Of Oxford and MeGss, and h this ccnnec-
ton, highly eulosises his Ezcellency, and
calls upon Republican journals to do him
justice. Now, Whatever may have been the
course pursued By WaixEa since his APP
pointment Of Governor, however tyranical
and unjust his proceedings in ~ apportion-
ment Of the Territory, and other Official acts,
we hare no disposition to Withhold our mede
Of praise, for the performance Of acts in the
least commendable. We take pleasure in
endorsing our neighbors opinion Of the &C.
ton Of WALkER, in regard to the illegal re-
turns. We think Governor WALkER acted
right in this matter, and is entitled to the
thanks Of every friend Of the purity of the
ballot-box. We are glad too, to be able to
state, that the Republican press OF the coun-
try have done the Governor ample justice
in this relation, and the structures Of the
TIMES were uncalled for and inopportune.
Why does our noighbor single out the
Republican press, as the target Of his ami
madversions, in relation to the attacks up
on Governor WALKkR2 Why does heignore
the fire-cating Democratic journals Of the
South? Have they not traduccd the charac-
ter Of His Excellency? Have they not de-
nouuced him as numerically as the Repub-
lican prcss9 Have they not pursued him
whit as much Of malice and virulenceS Most
surely they have. Why has not our neigh
Dor word of condemnation to bestow upon
them? Why has not his righteous indignation
been disturbed by their repeated denuncia-
tions of Governor WALKER and JAMES b.
cHvSAS? Surely, they arc as deserving of
cast;gatlon, as the political opponents of
the Administration. But no, that would not
do. There must be no quarrels in the DEM
ocratic family. The Southern Democrats may
say what they please-may rant and rave to
their hearts content-thati is all understood
they can be pacifed, if not silenced, by some
new guaranty to Slavery.
Now, we decidedly object to this discrimi-
nation. We have no objections to receiving
part Of the censures and denunciations of
the Government press, but We contend that
it is neither fair nor just, that We should be
singled out as the object of all these denun-
Citations, where there are other parties equal
ly culpable. First, clear the skirts of your
own party from the charge Of reasonable
conduct-bring your Southern allies into
the traces, and teach them decent respect
for the ''powers that be-" and then the Re-
publican party will submit, without whim-
per to any castigation you may deem fit and
proper. We ask no mercy at your hands,
and decidedly object to any discrimination
in our favor.
Mr.. Times, try your hand upon some Of
your Southern confederates. We are all
Impotence to witness the onset. For fear
that you are not posted in regard to the
conduct of your Southern allies, we will fur
nish text or two, from which, by careful
study and skillful handling Of the subject,
yoa may preach tolerable good sermon
The following are specimens of the manner
in which Southern journals treat Governor
WALKER:
From the Charleston Is. CO. Courier.
The Kansas Treason Contaminated.
Governor Walker has completed the
measure of his treason and his infamy.-
Not satisfied with intruding his opinion that
Kansas was unsuited BY climate and nature
for the institution of Slavery; not content
with announcing the political heresy that it
is the inherent, fundamental and inaliena-
BILE right of the people to have the actions
of Conventions submitted to them for rati-
6cation of rejection: nor with threatening
the Kansas Convention that the President
and Congress would reject any Constitution
they might frame, if they should not SUBJ
nit to his dictation; nor with pledging him
self to join the Topekaites in opposition to
the same event; he has now capped the cli-
max Of his usurpation and tyranny, of
treachery to the South, by undertaking to
20 behind election returns, set aside the
election Of o-Slavery candidates, and
give certificates Of election to the Free-So
candidates-thus knowingly and willingly
changing Pro- Slavery into a Free-Soil
majority in the Legislature of Kansas.
From the Charleston Is. o. Mercury.
s'The time was when the recall or coerced

the South; and that time was when he first
fairly and clearly violated the nom interven-
ton policy Of the Kansas Nebraska Act, by
urging and debating by threats, for himself
and the Administration, the reference Of
the Constitution the Convention might make
to the people. The proper time was when
two Southern States, in their Democratic
Conventions, requested the President of the
United States to recall him. At this time,
the recall of Walker would have satisfied
the South-would have satisfied the requi-
sitions of the Kansas Nebraska Act. But
to leave Walker and Stanton in the Terrific
~, clothed with all the authority of the Co.
vernment, until he has exhausted all his I'M
principled efforts to cheat the South, and
make Kansas Free State, and then to re-
call him, when it is known that he would be
rejected by the Senate, may DO policy as
shallow as it is vain, to screen the Admin
istration from responsibility. Our only
hope for Kansas is in the Southern spirit Of
the Pro.slavery party in the Convention
The unprincipled efforts to defeat them might
nerve them to sterner determination to as
sert their rights. If the Conv ention, by q
majority of one single vote, will send Pro-
Slavery Constitution to Congress, the Sonth
will yet win Kansas"
