KANSAS AFFAIRS.

WASHINGTON, November Ex-Governor Walker and
the President had u long interview on Kansas mat
tcrs yesterday.
They differ materially Walkers opposition is moi
founded on the slavery clause attached to the cons
tuition but on the refusal of the convention to allow
the people of Kansas to vote agaia as well rs for th,
constitution. Walker regards the latter as violation
of the constitution of the United States, the Kansa,
and Nebraska bill, and the rights Of sclfgovernmcni
The President says If the constitutional convcn
ton is authorized by Congress he is bound to sustain
its action. Walker contends against such endorse
mcnt and asserts the right Of Congress to force any
constitution upon the Territory.
Walker never saw the constitution All the efforts
of the Government to obtain q copy have failed II
is feared its sgners will DC driven out of the Terri
tory, and the constitution be considered spurious
that the state Government will never be organized
unless by the federal arms.
Walker says he cannot acqlescc in the acts of the
convention, without violating his pledges, sacrificing
his honest convictions, and making himself Infamous.
If resistance is made to the establishment Of State
Government, the President will require a Governor
in the Territory, TO put it down by force
This Walker says he cannot and will not do. Nor
will he resign.
Another Interview is appointed. A rupture is con
sidercd inevitable

the Kansas Convention.

Walker to-day.

L. J. SIGrR.-The Vicksburg Sun says This gal
liant defender Of the rights OF the South we are grcv-
ed to learn has been defeated in the Sd Congressional
district of Louisiana. We regard such au event as u
great public calamity. Than Laurent J. Sigur there
is no man in all the South more devoted TO her inter
ests, or more capable Of defending them in intel
lectual arena.
Possessing the highest order of talents soul OF
fire, and gift Of eloquent speech rarely excellcd
and an intense devotion to all that concerns this see
ton, politically morally or socially, he could not
but have welded, ifhe had been elected powerful
influence for good in the halls of Congress and car
ried his name high on the roll of fame Us one of the
most Jealous, most eloquent and most powerful advo-
Gates OF this much abused portion Of the contcderacy
His moral courage is as dauncss as his physical and
both the pride of his friends and the terror Of his
foes. Such man as Sigur always commands our
admiration aud challenges our warmcst regards, no
matter where we find him. Like our own Quitman he
loves the South, with all the ardor Ola mothers love
and in her Defence he would not scrupc to shed the
last drop Of blood eXpend the last farihng of his
fortune. Though defeated he has the consolation OF
knowing that he fell in just cause in defence Of
what he conceived to be the principles of right and
justice

cap and boa, but it was soon filed up with
frost from my breath, and helped to keen
in the warmth. The road was hard and
smooth as marble. We had good horses,
and, leaving Arasaxa and the Polar Circle
behind us, we sped down the solid bed of
the Tornea to Niemis On the second stage
we began to freeze from want of food
The air was really terrible; nobody ven
tured out of doors who could stay in the
house. The smoke was white and dense,
like steam; the wind was blast from the
Norseman's bell, and the touch of it on
your face almost made you scream Moth
ing can be more severe-haying, branding
with a hot iron, cutting with dull knife,
&c., may be something like it, but no
worse. ~ p
The sun rose through the frozen air
little after nine, and mounted quite high at
noon. At Packila we procured some hot
milk and smoked reindeer, tolerable horses
and stout boy of fourteen to drive our
baggage sled. Every one we met had a
face either frozen, or about to freeze. Such
a succession Of countenances, fiery red,
purple, blue, black almost, with white
frost-spots and surrounded with rings of
icy hair and fur never saw before. We
thanked God again and again that our faces
were turned to the southwark, and that the
deadly wind was blowing on our backs.-
When we reached Korpy Kila, our boys
face, although solid and greasy as bag of
lard, was lally frozen. His nose was
quite white and swollen as if blistered by
fire, and there were frozen blotchcs on both
cheeks. The landlord rubbed the parts in
stantly with rum, and performed the same
operation on our noses.
Again, for the first time in more than a
month, we sew daylight, and cannot de-
scribe how cll cring was the effect of those
pure, white, brilliant rays, in spite of the
iron landscape they illumined. 1t was no
longer the setting light of the level Arctic
sun; not the twilight CLEANS ofshifting col
or, beautiful, but dim; not the faded mock
daylight, which sometimes glimmcred for
a halt hour at noon; but the true Write,
! full, golden day, which we had almost for
gotten, SO nearly, indeed that / did not
for some time suspect the cause of the un-
usual whiteness and brightness. It's effect
upon the trees was superb. The twigs of
the birch aud the needles of the fir were
coated with crystal, and sparklel like Jets
of Jewels spoutcd up from the bosom of the
immaculate snow. The clumps Of birchcs
can be compared to nothing but frozen
fountains-frozen in full action, with their
showery sheayes of spray arrested before
they fell. ltwas wonderful, fairy world
we beheld--too beautiful to be lifeless, but
every face we met reminded us the more
that this was the chill beauty of Dcath-ol
dead Nature. Death was in the sparkling
air, in the jewelcd trees, in the spotless
snow. Take off your mittcn, and his hand
will grasp yours, like a wise; uncover your
mouth. and your frozen lips Wits ac-
knowledge his kiss.

The sla:e Trade 10 be Revived.


Among the ihetab refofhiss proposed in
the South we noticel lduifffg the Presiden-
tial campaign, a plan to revive the slave
trade. Itwas then thought to be politi-
cal charge; but time has worn away, and po-
litical excitement with it, and yet we find
all that was then charged is strictly true
There are influential men in the South try
ing expclients, at this moment, to revive
the slave trade. We take the following
paragraph from the South:
In virtue OF its territorial relations and
its ccnnexion with slavery, this country is
peculiarly interested in the experiment to
revive the prosperity of the West India Isl
ands. Who knows but that the ascertaincd
anl limited n, tcssity of compulsory negro
labor in the tropics may operate repeal oi
the foolish inserdict against the slave trade!
Who knows but that it may correct the
moral depravity Of Chrisfendom, and rein
state slavery in the confidence of mankind?
For the wants of white men must triumph
over the negro's absurd claim to liberty;
any deficiency in the supply Of tropical
productions will be made good If necessary,
by the re-establishmcnt of slavery and the
slave trade Idle scruples may postpone
the day, but in time the tropical regions OF
this continent will be rescued from decay
AMI sterilty by the compulsory labor of ne
yroes. There IS no other solution of the
problem. The world will not suffer the
wealth Of the tropics to waste in undcvel-
opcd profilsion- if African slavery be
essential to its enjoyment, thcn the world
will dcmanl the revival and extension of
African slavery. as o- f--1af a'ia
