REPUBLICAN PARTYIsx IN DIseuIsE.-Tbe
few nominal Democratic journals at the North
that are still trying to weaken the Democracy
upon the Kansas question-undertakipp to
| dispute the right Of the Kansas Constitute
Convention to dispose of their work as they
have done-are already mounting over the old
exploded anti Nebraska bill pleas of the New
York Tribune. They are evidently " sold to
the Dutch, body and breeches. It seems
strange to find such arguments in their columns
as those to which they are compelled to resort
in their present work Of disorganization.
The Pennsylvania of Saturday last exposed
their regeneration with a master pen saying:

objections urged against the so-called proyi,ional
government Of Kansas, and shows that the cleo
ton provisions which appear i'm the Kansas con-
stituton are identical with those in the constitu
tons OF Ohio, Indiana, Louisiana, and every
state constitution which has been adopted since

convention followed safe and sure precedenty for

good faith and to the very letter the great prn-
ciples of the Kansas Nebraska bill which r.,
ctived such an emphatic endorsement in his
election.
The whole matter is now in the hands OF the
people OF Kansas, where every true Democrat
Will agree To leave II. The polls are open To ali

dictates: II for slavery, lac can deposit his bal

GOVERNOR WALKER, of Kansas duly reached
Washington on the evening before last. Yes
terday, according to the common understand
ing on the Avenue, he had q long interview
with the President. A hundred rumors Dur.
porting to embrace the substance and result of
their conference are floating around US, almost
all Of which differ in essential points. Placing
no confidence in any of them, we give none of
them place in the Star's columns. The
President and Governor Walker are natives of
the same State, and were long associated with
each other as political and personal friends in
the discharge Of public trusts. Our hope has
been, with our knowledge of the earnestness
with which the President has sought throughout
the whole of the Kansas imbrogio under bis
administration simply to conserve the principle
Ut the Kansas ebraska act, that In the end
no serious obstacles would be found to that
harmony Of sentiment between them ON the
subject 50 likely to strengthen the prospect for
tho future unity and ascendancy of the Demo.
