Down ON ITS Morrow BoNEs.--The
Washington UaiOn defends President
Buchanan and Gov. w alker from the as.
Saults of the Slavery propagandists. Its
appeal is pitisble. Hear ii:
"Governor Walker is Southern man.
he has been sent outby an administration
pledged to the defense OF southern rights,
he is surrounded by corps Of officers,
most Of them from the South and eyery
one of them sound nations al men; hei was
instructed to regard tie Territoria au-
thorities as legal, and sustain them against
the rebellion Of the Topeka aboIitionisls;
he is acting in concert with the friends OF
The South, and gallanlly fighting their
enemies. We cannot help but think that
such a man, so sent, so instructed, so
surrounded, and so acting, is entitled TO
sympathy, comfort and aid from the
South whenever they can be given with
conscientious regard to truth With
such Ealte raging in his front, il was
harsh and ungracious to open this fire

In olheFwosds, Walker was sent be-.
