ona" Democracy OF Kansas nave declared their sat-
isfac,on with Gov Walkers policy, and hare sgni.
fed desire that the Constitution should be submit.
ted to all the inhabitants OF the Territory, without
regard to the legal qualification of voters. This cir
cumstance is seized upon by the apoogists of Walker
and paraded in justification of his conduct.
Now, did anybody ever hear OF SO monstrous an
assertion of the principle Of squater sovereignty as
is involved in the declaration that a contemplate
caucus of politicians may determine the destiny OF
Territory! Who authorized the Convention at Lee
compton to speak 10 the name OF the South What
right had they TO represent the people of the Terrific.
w. and TO decide that the Constitution shculj be dis.
posed of in manner not provided for by the laws OF
Kansas This is another instance of gross usurpa
ton.
But The apologists of Walker allege that the Con-
vention at Lecompton represented the pro. slavery
party of Kansas. We deny 1t. We affirm, on the
contrary, that this composed exclusively
of the creatures of Walker and that its on y func-
ton was 10 register his arbitrary edIcts. L rue, a
Southern man presided over the Convention but he
was the identical individual whom President Pierce
dismissed from Office for completely with Reeder in
his land speculations A fit tool, indeed, of Walk
er's Infamous purposes For the rest, we defy any
one Of Walkers apologlss TO cite the name OF soil
tary champion of slavery who figured in the Lecomp
ton caucus Was Atchison there, or Jones, or
Stringfelow, or Whitfield and what was the result
OF the proceedings of this caucus? The nomination
of Michigan Abolitonist to succeed Whitfield in
the Congress of the United States This fact sufi
is represented the moutbpiece of The pro'slavery
party Of Kansas.
The assertion is made that the pro slavery party in
Kansas endorse Walkers policy. Well, what would
this circumstance prove, if true, but that Walker has
succeeded an proStituting the pro SLAVERY party TO
the scheme Of abol,ton17ing Kansas? For nobody
denies that the inevitable effect of Walkers policy
will be to expel slavery from Kansas, and to bring
into the Union flee soil State; and the effect
that the party which once professed to advocate sla-
Iu hnU
are engaged in the enterprise of abotionizing the
territory. 1t is contradiction in te ms 10 call that
, party p-oslavery which supports Walkers anti sla-
very policy.
But We deny that the Lecompton caucus represen'
ted the pro slavery party of Kansas. We deny that
the pro.savery party of Kansas approve Walkers
conduct We affirm, the contrary, that every IN
divdual who desires to intro luce slavery into the
territory utterly repudates Walker and his policy !;
and We pledge ourselves to make good the declara
ton by testimony which nobody lmpeach or re
sst.
Yet, it is not surprising that the New York Herald
and other apoIogists of Walker should avail them
selves Of mendacious Geographic report with the
vain hope of opposing some resistance to the ire
sistable assaults of the Southern press.-1he South
