POSITIONS OF MISSISSIPPI AND GEORGIA

Ing RESOLUTIONS passed by The Democratlc
Convention of Georgia aud Mississippi, recently
assembled regard to the general politics Of
the day, andparticularly touching the posi-
ton and course of Walker in Kansas, are of i'm
portance and moment at the present juncture of
affairs and we consequently subjoin tolerably
full report Of the same. :,
We hope to see the South generally speak out
III terms Of mnrited condemnatiin and rebuke of
Walker and his tratorous schemes to wrest Kan
sas from us aud III like manner in regard TO the
administration, should its approval or sanction be
given. We confess, however, to more faith i'm
MIR. buchanan's sound judgment, and in his
& utitude to those to whom lie is indebted for his
present election, than would lead us to believe
that hs gould or would sanction these Kansas
outrages, while ut the same time we cannot but
regard with scrutinous and suspicious eye his
protracted silence insregard 10 the mutter-si.
ience whilst vital injury is being inflicted upon
lie and our cause. Is lie h friend, who stands
qnetiy by, whilst foe, deadly enemy, assails
and muns us? ~
It$may he that Mr. Buchanan is waiting to
know the popular sentiment of the South but of
this it seems he could have but little doubt.
whilst his expressed principles point most clearly
his duty and his course. We hope his policy,
when made known, will leave no ground for
even suspicion of his auctua,ion or unsound-
ness
Since the above was penncd, we think that
indications and developemcnts sufficiently cloar
~ and iuii, have reached us to leave the matter no
i9hger ~ uncertainty ne regards the position of
Mr. Buchanan and his administration with re
ference to Walkers Kansas policy. It is now
but too palpable that the Federal Executive

honaI standard bearer Of the Democratic party
