DOES BUCHANAN ENDORSE WALKER ?-If we look
TO his letter of acceptance to his inaugural to the
Kansas bill we would say that Mr.. Buchanan con-
demhs walker IN every particular in which it Is
charged that he has violated the principle of nonn-
terVenton II there anything to which he is pledged
II IS mat the people of Kansas alone have the right
In contention to pass upon the question of slavery
no slavery and that whenever they undertake to ex
ercse this exclusive right they shall be let aone-not
interfered with by counsel, threats or in any way
but permitted to express freely in their constitution,
what their o,oR choice is as to slavery But it is
charged that there is other and sufficient proof that
Walker is endorsed by the President We admit that
the failure to make some announcement, or to take
action upon the subject, is some evidence that
Walker is not condemned by the administration. But
do not think the proof sufficient We still have
confidence that Mr.. Buchanan will place himself in
ieensible position. 1t is impossible for him to ignore
the question. His position must be made known
when Congress meets-whether he endorses Walker
or not, must necessarily become matter Of fact-t
cannot always remain in doubt and continue to be
| the subject Of speculation and opinion.
[Euiaula (Ala.) Spirit.
The mischief will be all done before " Congress
meets" Our Alabama Democratic contemporary
would do well to bear this fact in mind. What do we
of the South, care about what Mr.. Buchanan may
say OF do, after the treachery of Governor Walker
has been finally eonsummated and al the Territories
handed over to the dominion Of the Freesolers
