and serviceable accord with Mr.. Robert j.
Walker and certain active clever politi-
clans who are wirewOrkiDg to make the said
Walker our next President. The Tuues has
just as good a right to give "aid and
comfort" to this scheme as We have to resist it,
and il would be sheer impertinence in US to impugn
its motives in so doing. We do, indeed, complain
of those who dishonesty quote The Tunsss utter
aDces with regard to Kansas affairs as those of
Republican" paper; but We hold The Times blame
less for this. 1t makes pretensions to the char
acter thus falsely ascribed TO it, Nor do we hold it
at all remarkable that the editor Of The Times,
holding the ground with regard TO current Kansas
politics which be does, should be invited to the
select private dnner-party which greeted ard
cheered Gov. Walker on his return to our City from
Washington with his Kansas commission in his
pocket He ought TO have been invited, and to
have gone, as be did, be ought 10 have had his own
speech at that gathering reported, as well as
Walkers and though the omission is doubtless
attributable to modesty, we DO not the less regret
it. It is right, also, in view Of the existing entente
cordiaLe. that the advertisements of the Federal
officers in our City should appear in The Times
for, considering the characterless and unread chan
nels through which such advertisements are usually
given to the public, we consider their transfer to
The Times decidedly creditabe to the fidelity of
those who direct them as public officers, and to
their sagacity and efficiency as psrtisans Let us
have, then, no repetition of the misstatement that
we have assailed the political integrity of The
Times.
There is another point on which The Times in
Inmates conflict between U.s. where there really is
none. II says:
Those who analysed calmly the conditions Of Mr.
Buchanan' and watched more narrowly the fI; indi
President desiring 10 leave honorable pacific and
reputation behind him. Democratic leader anxious for
e Degree mProbsb that Mt Buchanan would lend any
to the scheme, OF the qIPncPd . ~So ss Of
American reemen which Is The safeguard Of liberty upon the
ksnss. under hi. administration or violent and fraudulent
usurpson Of Territory by the slavePowe could only
cratic Psfty end in Complete eHeton
claims present consideration or future renown"
This is put forth as if in antagonism to the po-
sitions held by THE TRIBUNE, but mistakenly. 1t
has long been plain enough to sll discerning pOliti
cians-and We do not suppose that these are con-
fined 70 The Times Offce-that to make Kansas
Slave State by means similar to those by which she
was made Slave Territory, through the Missouri
invasion and fraudulent election of March 80 l555,
would PROSTATE the Democratic party in all the
Free States. Hence, it was clear that all those
political managers whose consequence, subsistence
and hopes Of advancement are bound up in the as
eeadancy of that party, would desire and quietly
endeayor to have Kansas come into the Union es-
sentaIAy Free. Knowing this, We have simply
laughed at the frantic Outcries of the last three
months that the Free-State men, by refusing to
vote al the bogus ELECTION, were surrenderlng Kan
sas to Slayery. Nobody has been frightened by
these baseirss> Outcries, and but very few weak
brethren have been moved BY them 1t is now
generally admitted that Kansas s to be at last a
Free State, and can be nothing else. She has few
slaves, fewer Shareholders, and an overwhelming
majority of her People have located themselves on
her soil with the fixed determination to make her
Free State.
But The Times goes too far in asserting that a
President elected as Mr.. Buchanan was could not
q lend any cOuntenance to the schemes of the un-
principled politicians who had sought to annihi-
- late American Liberty on the plains of Kansas"
He has lent such countenance: |. In upholding
the bogus Legislature and its abominable laws; 2.
In appointing the leading plOtters and uphOlders of
the Pro-Savery usurpation in Kansas, several of
them black with the smoke Of arson or red with
the stains of MURDER to the best Offices in the Ter
rtOry; 3. In removing from the Post Office at
Lawrence Democratic "Lsw-and Order Free
State man and appointing PrO-Slayery Border
Rufian in his stead. The President was distracted
Ill ba
had given him an overwhelming support because of
this very Slavery struggle for Kansas, aud must
have some return for its ll2 Electoral votes.
Hence the Border Ruffan appointments, the reten-
ton Of Lecompte, the undignifed abuse of the
" Black Republicans" in Walkers Inaugural, and
the suggestions therein put forth of special guar
antics in the Kansas Constitution to the Missouri
shareholders and a new Slave State south Of Kan
sas. Hence the denunciatons (fOr efect) of
Walker and Stanton by certain ultra politicians
and presses of South Carolina. Read the following

Herald (Juns g., who says he has just returned
