GOV. WALKER AGAIN.
Many democratic papers still continue the
administration for not recalling Governor Walker We
think this pursued by them is merely calculated to
prove highly injurious to the democratic party and TO IN
the feelings of enmity between the North and
South. Governor Walker may have been imprudent in
Of his speeches. but do think the South has
any to complain of his actions If Kansas made
free State IL will become so, not through Governor
Walkers exertions but simply because it is not adapted
for slavery There only hundred and fifty slaves
in Kansas The pro-savery vote is five thousand where
the vote OF the northern is seventeen thousand
Under these circumstances II to that southeners
should not complain if Kansas is made free State.
We southeners surely do not want the administration
to consult interest alone and to make every Territory
All want is fair chance and favor We certainly
have had this far Kansas concerned and if it does
become free State will have nothing to blame but its
climate and lukewarmness.
Besides these papers to lose sight altogether of
the fact that Gov Walkers meets with the appro
baton of the people of Kansas Suppose that Alabama
Territory and gentleman had been appointed
its governor who entirely acceptable to u.s. would
not think it assurance the part Of the people of Geor
ga and South Carolina to complain of him and cry out
that he should be recalled What applies to the people
of Alabama will apply with equal truth under the
circumstances to the people of Kansas.
At all events think should wait for the conven-
ton of Kansas to If that convention censurcs
Governor Walker let ccnsure him also. If that
vention approves of his course, let us be silent
