ture-WaEker on Niggers.
The messages of Pierce and Buchanan
having been little more than lectures upon
Slavery, Walker the new Kansas Gov
ernor has just issued another of the same
sort-advising everybody that unless all
think just as he does and believe just AS
the great democratic party believes, the un-
lion will surely be ramshackled into pieces
There is not Republican in all America
who is not pledged before high heaven
that the Constitution and Union shall
stand forever-even though every dollar of
the nations treasury and all the blood OF
disunionists be sacrificed. There are no
disunionists, except among the democracy
in Carolina, Georgia, Virginia and Here and
there nest in other niger rebelling states
with few sprigs of the old blue-light Fed
eralists in the free states The tories, be
it never forgotten, always preached that
some men are born to rule, others to serve
kind masters, and they hated the name OF
liberty and free country just about as IN
tensely as tyrants now hate Fremont or
old Greeley.
The Free State Legislature of Kansas
enacted among other things that the terri
tory should never be open to settlement by
the Africans. ThisGoyerno-Walker says,
proves that
ssthose who oppose Slavery in Kansas do
thropic principles, or any sympathy for the
African race"
Yet, where he has another point to
make, he forgets this, and exclaims-
s.Is the absence or existance of Slavery in
Kansas paramount to the great question of
State Sovereignty. of self-government, and of
the Union? Is the sable african alone entitled
to your sun.pathy and consideration, even if he
were happier as freeman than as a slave,e =
Their here or in st. Domingo, or the British
West Indies, or Spanish America, where the
emancipated slave has receded to barbarism
and approaches the lowest point IL the descen-
ding scale of moral, physical and intellectual
degradation. Have our white brethren of the
great American and European race no claims
upon our attention Have they no right or
interests entitled to regard and protection p
Shall the destiny Of the African in Kansas ex-
clude all considerations connected with our
own happiness and prosperity?" &C., SC.
Such are the inconsistencies, the base
nesses, the absurdities, the palpablc knave-
ries, into which uuchastened ambition and
bad cause will betray men of acute in
tellect and plausible address. They are
perpetually misstating their opponents, con
|tradictiug history and stultifying them
selves, simply because the necessities Of
their position will not allow them to talk
like upright, rational beings.

The new American gold dollar with the
head of an Indian Chief surmounted by a
genuine crown-so perfectly fashioned af

down as sign of our national back action
in the direction of despotisn. The Ro.

erect eagle of olden time, the poor bird is
represented as low, skulking fugitive.
