COMPLIMENTARY TO DouGLAs.-The N.
Y. Day Book says: Senator Douglas has
been subscriber for the Day Book for
the last four years, and in his last speech
not only advances precisely the same ideas,
but does so in almost identical language.
What he says about the mixed races of
South America, and the deterioration
of blood in hybrids and mongrels, are sim
pie extracts from the Day Book.

Rev. DR.. TyNa.-Of New York

Rev. DR.. TyNa.-Of New York city, is
making great noise in England-person-
ally, theologically and about every other
way. He was one Of the great guns at the
recent anniversary of the Evangelical ALI
ance in London, and made speech there,
in the course of which, it would appear, he
handled the High Church Episcopalisns of
the United States very roughly.

The Charleston Mercury says:
"He claims to be supported by Mr.. Bu-

of his intimidation, hs openly and repeated
Iy declares that if the convention will not
submit the constitution they shall adopt to
the vote of the people for ratification, he
will Join the Abolitionists himself. This
threat, we suppose, cannot be of much po-
tency in Kansas; for it is perfectly plain
that, if Abolitionism consist in the act of
abolishing slavery, he is the greatest Abo-
litionists in Kansas.
A man who has been so honored by a
Southern State as to have been her rep
resentative in the Senate of the United
States, who goes into Territory to bully
or cheat slavery out of it, is totally unwor-

sustaining Walker. That gentleman has
pledged himself to the people of Kansas,
land assured them that in doing so he was
acting under instructions from the Presi-
dent that the Constitution shall be sub
mitted to vote of oil the bona tide set
tiers in Kansas; but Mr.. Buchanan after
instructing Walker to make this pledge,
Announces through the Union that the Con-
vention which is to frame the Constitution
must decide who shall vote upon its accep-
tance. This is equivalent to saying that
none but the 1892 Border Ruffians who
took part in the late election shall have any
voice in approving the Constitution, and
is directly in the teeth of Walkers pledge.
The closing paragraph of the Unions
article is q pregnant one. If it means
anything at all it means that Walkers
pledges in Kansas are all made for Bun
combe, and that the South must not in
terpret them as meaning what they say.
It is as follows:
"Gov. Walker is Southern man; he
has been sent Owt by an decentralization
pledged to the defense Of Southern rights;
he is surrounded by corps of officers,
most of them from the South, and every
one of them sound national men; he was
instructed to regard the Territorial author
tiles as legal, and sustain them against the
rebellion of the Topeka Abolitionists; he
is acting in concert wiM the friends Of the
