ii orally kicked out Of doors, without even the cheap
compliment Of an apology. There is poeticsl jus.
tee ip this punishment which will not tract much
sympathy for the victims. They have carr cd these
deserts by the humiliating abandonment Of every
principle, and willingness to perpetuate power at
the expense OF honest conviction. The appoint
nents are only important so far ss they indicate
the leaning of the Administration in public policy,
ard instruct Us what to expect hereafter.
Following clOse upon the heels Of this develop
ment comes the assurance that the refusal of the
GOvernOrship of Kansas has been offered to Robert
j. Walker, and his answer is expected tomorrow
morppe. His friends express the confident belief
th.t be will accept and the opportunities Of advan
tage TO one occupying that position in the Terri
tory confirm that impression strongly. When Mr..
Walker was urged upon the President for the Pre-
nership, at Wheatland, be was free to express the
opinion that the charges duplicating him in railroad
and other speculatiOns, which were considered as
dsquhlfyiDg reasons in some quarters had no
foundation. The confidence then entertained seems
TO have strengthened, and doubtless has been orti
fed by the sympathizing support of most Of the
Cabinet. Mr.. Buchanan could offer no better evi.
deDce of bis entire trust than this unsolicited
ture; and in taking so grave responsibility, he
cannot be insensible to she feeling it is likely to
provoke throughout the whole North.
1t is designed, az an Offset to this change IN
Nebraska, and substitute Northern man, as if
compensation would thus be made for an act
which strikes down the last hope of the free
settlers, who have for two years struggled against
the oppression Of the Federal Government and
the glarng outrages of its minons. When these
two points have been officially determined, as they
will be Immediately, public sentiment will lind an
utterance that may wake up. the Administration
TO some sense of its deep and fatal infatuatiOn.
The GoverDorshp of Utah has been indirectly
placed at the disposal of the Hon. Fayette McMul-
len of Virginia, by intimatiODs from FIVE members
of the Cabinet, inquIriDg if he would accept No
definite answer has yet been returned, and as the
place is not inviting the honorable gentleman re-
Quires time for reflection.
1t is now believed by those who have taken pains
to be well informed, that the disputed titles to the
Indian lands in Kansas, which the Government Off
Gals dabbled in so freely, and which prOfessedly
excited the virtuOus indignation of the Pierce dy-
nasty, will all be recognized at the Department
and the ownership confirmed in the present hands.
The enhancement of these lands above the nominal
rates at which they were purchased will insare
fortunes to the holders, and the OfhcehOlders can
well afford to retire upon the profits of their tenn
pOrary tenure.
The rn,nor has been rife for the last two days
that Mr.. Appleton was about to withdraw inmed-
ately from The Union, and although it is now con-
tradicted with some appearance of authority, there
foundation At least it is so gwen out by parties
in interest 1t is known, too that efforts have been
made, to introduce Mr.. Banks of The Somhside
IVA Democrat, either IS the principal or assistant
Editor; and that Influences have been also exerted
for others who aspire to this position, not only for
its political honor but for contingent profits which
are more attractive. Mr.. AppletOn's health has
suffered ever since be took charge of the paper and
therefore it has hardly exhibited the extent OF his
capacity. He enjoys the special favor of the Pres.
ident and if change should occur, it will proceed
from no cause Of personal disagreement.
Major Heiss has nearly completed his arrange
ments for new evening paper. to be called 1he
Times, which is to be issued on the Is. OF April.
The Office is located directly opposite The hnteAi.
gencer. and the improvements already made give
tokens of spirit Of enterprise and energy that are
acknowledged to be needed in the journalism of the
capital While the political partalities Of the new
paper will be Democratic, it IL not designed TO con.
fine ts sphere of usefulness within the contracted
limits and discipline OF mere party press but 70
aim at higher and more independent success to be
achieved through general merits. INDEX
