WASHINGTON, Nov. 81.


A. the Cabinet meeting to-day, the Presi.
dent stated Governor Walkers position on
Kansas affairs. The Cabinet unanimously
united with the president in favor ofsustain-
ing the action of the Constitutions Conven-
ton. in respect 10 the reference of the Con-
stitution TO the people, and SO condemn
Walker. The administration consider the
ingenious plan by which the Convention
seeks to render the rejection OF the constI-
tuition impossible. profoundly sagacious and
praiseworthy.
The door to a reconciliation with Gov.
ernor Walkers position is now closed, and
a bitter contest between the two wings OF
the democracy is unavoidable.
Senator Douglass has been heard fro n.
As the author Of the ksnsas-Nebraska act,

Walker. This the President has not hitherto
believed. Douglas holds that the refusal to
subm I the whole constitution to the people.
when they desire it, is the clearest rePudia-
ton of the doctrine OF popular sovereignty.
'Senator Gwin. though a pro-slaveTy man,
is understood TO b. determined TO sustain
Walker to the bitter end. This is the uni
versal sentiment from the iree-state democ-
racy as received here"
From the Correspondence. ofthe PernsylvanIan Of
November 27Ih.)
"The administration could not, in justice
10 itself, pursue a different course. One Of
its first acts. after coming into p wer, was
the recognition of the legality OF the laws
calling the convention to .rame this c)nsti-
tuiion. And now, since the convention has
performed the duties imposed upon it-per-
formed them in accordance with law and
without infringing upon the rights OF any of
the citizens of that ,eFritory-it would BE-
the height of folly to discountenance its
acts. and re use to receive the State into The

will be sustained by the free States. 1t
