TuE Anevs on KANSAS, Gov wALkEE AND
NEw TEnRrroRrEs.-Our neighbor of Main
street is becoming agitatcd by the prospects of
Kansas becoming free State, and the conse-
0uent route and overthrow of the ultra niger
itish party who went there from all parts of the
South to establish the one great institution
which absorbs all their concern Gov Walkers
firm, fair and impartial course in Kansas does
not suit our neighbor-he is not sound enough
on the great ''goose question'-he has not the
fear Of cotton, hemp and niggers sufficiently be-
fore his eyes to suit the prOclivites Of our neigh
Dor Once Gov. Walker was sound man-Only
month or so ago he was very sound-indeed
there was never a time prior to few weeks
back when any man would not have considered
Robt j. Walker pretty good Democrat Mr..
buchanan, who was his associate in the Cabinet
OF Mr.. Polk and who, it is fair to presume,
knew Gov Walker through and through-what
his creed and what his afinites on the goose
question and all other questions were, appointed
him without hesitation, a few days after he was
inaugurated President. Yet for all he suits Mr..
Buchanan, who knew him so well, he does not
suit our Main street neighbor, who knows him
only through his own prejudices and through the
denunciations, maledictions and execrations of
the niggeritish Richmond papers and all that
school Of ultraists, with whom we are sorry to
see it is the constant delight of our neigtbor to
cooperate
Our neighbor in the course of some remarks
about some new principle that is to assure 'to
the people of our new Territories exemption
from interference by others with their domestic
institutions, until they are ready to form State,
and then the absolute right to mould their in
stitutions according to their pleasure" goes on
to congratulate himself aud his brethren after
this wise:
We have thus excluded dangerous topic of
discussion from our National Councils and have
a guaranty that our peculiar institution" will
probably be carried wherever it is likely to pro-
mote the welfare of the people concerned
Whether it shall be adopted in Kansas or not
we look to the future and S0VtAicdrCi 'sthe star
of Empire takes its way" Temporary causes
give the North just now heavy balance of pop
ulation and force; but causes as constant and
immutable as Nature will carry the permanent
extension of our territory and power south
ward
It is very easy matter, now, to understand
what the argus understands by national man,
and also the reason why it is down upon Gov.
Walker for his fair and impartial course in Kan
sus Suppose that this paper had come out
some morning and congratulated its readers
upon the prospect that Southwark, and every
other-ward, wherever there was any new terri
tory, either acquired or to be acquired, that the
probabilities were it would all be made into
Free States That would have been unpardOn-
able sectionalism in the eyes Of the Argws, and
it would have been down on us for week. But
our national neighbor-who abhors sectional,
ism-chhelsles, and wants his readers to help
him chuekIe, over the idea that the peculiar in
atitutfon is to resolve itself into The sstar Of
Empire and lead ms ON to our ,.Inanifest des-
tiny" .-l.a-s.z-aa..t -
But We object just as much to T the do S 70 his
standard of nationality, when he says that
'temPorary causes give the North, just now, n
heavy balance of population and force" Our
ncishbor probably studied different treatise
on political economy from what we did at school,
which may account for our radically opposite
ideas about the Permanency of the causes of
the "heavy balance of population and force in
the North" Our ncighbor's idea is Just pre-
cisely that of the Richmond school, viz: that
free society is n failure" which was one of the
philosophic dicta that the Enquirer put forth
under the inspiration of Roger a. Pryor, when
he was its editor. It does actually seem, in
day of such general enlightenment as our own,
n work not only of supererogation, but of I'M
dignified trihing, to set about to prove that the
causes which make our Free States powerful
and prosperous are natural and primeval caus-

of logic, is the province Of the Argus as the adj

modern doctrine, to show cause why free soci-

any other kind. The history of the world
proves it-that equitable perception of the

this is not Soft it is better that we should go
on acquiring territory to be run over and run
out in a few years by awkward, senseless, and
uneducated serfdom, and degrading white labor
by contact with it, we should like to see some
data for the reason why. We confess that the
doctrine to uS looks mOnstrous and heatheniSh,
but perhaps our neighbor of the Argus has the
facts to make good his theory. We shall see.
