Commodore Paulding, in his dispatch TO the
Government explaining his arrest OF Walker nos
read the Administration lecture on the enforce
ment of the neutrality laws and has given them
an example Of decision and promptitude BY WHICH,
il is to be hoped, they may profit. IL mas oeeu

suggested yesterday-by that British officer. On
the principle that, as il is best for every family to
wash its own dirty linen so every nation ought to
deal with its own rogues, the Commodore very
properly declined any assistance.
The freedom with which this dispatch speaks OF
Walker and his men as "Outlaws aud pirates,
tends, wemay observe, to throw some suspicious on
the accounts published at such length In some OF
our city papers, and derived, il would seem, from
Walker himself, as to tho Commodore having
treated him as an equal and extended to him all the
cordiality which he could have bestowed upon prs

lawful commission and taken in national warfare.

taken the matter in hand with such energy,

Our dispatch from Kansas this morning illustrates
the results upon which the deplorable policy of the
Federal Administration is hnrring the Territory
and the country. Whatever may have been the
faults of Governor Walkers administration, it can
not be denied that he at least preserved peace
among parties previously hostile; nor is there any
reason 10 doubt that had bis advice continued to
be followed by the Government the existing tran
ouility would have remained undisturbed But
now that Mr.. Buchanan has undertaken the task Of
subjecting the majority Of the people to the
insolent. violent, and fraudulent dictation OF
petty minority, oil this is changed, and
civil war ia again let loose. Where it will
end, unless Congress- should promptly inter-
vene and give the citizens Of Kansas the most salts
factory assurances that the will Of the majority
shall be respected, ii is impossible to say. But OF
me thing We warn the country and that is that this
rev onslaught on the principles of democracy, the
rights of the people and the pledges both Of the
