The Semi Weekly Misssippian. pub
lished at Jackson Miss, edited by
+. Barksdalc, of June 10th, has the
following article, wherein is shown
the spirit Of the old partizans and
constituents Of Robert J. Walker:
Gov Walkers KANSAS PoLIcy-
VorcE OF THE PRHss.
The dpficity offhenee Cor. Of Kansas;
his base betrayal Of The South, his
cunning plot 10 surrender 10 the Free
State fanatics ofthe Territory the adj
rantages Of ne ptctories thev hare
gained, and 10 engineer Kansas as an
dat-siare State into The Union, has
called doun upon him the Just and
bitter generations Of me Southern
Press.
IL IL n gratifying fact that ia the
South no journal Of any party has
given a faint sign Of approval Of his
course. There Is but one voice, and IL
il loud and emphatic in conforming
Il. II IL be true, therefore, that In
betraying his trust and pandering TO
the vicious spirit Of frcesoilism which
has created all the disturbances In
Kansas aud shaken the Union itself
10 the center, Governor Walkers eyes
were turned hopefully to future and
larger honors at the hands of the
Democracy, his vaulting ambition
has overleapt itself Nothing will be
left him, as the reward of his perfdy,
but fruits that have turned 20 ashes
on his lips, and the singing concious-
ness Of guilt
The Now Orleans Delta, of June
9th, dcspairs of the conservatism OF
the Democracy ofthe North. IL says
So Anti-Slavery at the North may
take the amiable shape ofDemocracy
at one time, or the truculent form of
Black Rcpublieanism at another time,
but all the time IL is Anti Slavery and
nothing but Slavery, steadfhst
and applicable.
This proposition requires no special
argument whom prof Is so patent and
examples are becoming so abundant.
The truth is, 30 tar as concerns tho
South, for all practical purposes, there
is but one great political beast ut the
North, and whether IL roar like IL
on, bray like donkey, or speak with
a forward and backward voice like
Caliban, il is the same beast through
out, with the same incradicable In
stincts and propensities.
There seems to be peculiar cleo
tive affinity between the beast and
the Hon. Robt. j. Walker, the Ad-
ministrations proconsuler pacificator
of affairs in Kansas.
Fortunate, thrice fortunate, is il
that the ablest and honestest portion
of the Democratic press at the South
is beginning to discover that the
beast we mention has got into the
Northern camp Of the party-if not
the Presidential mansion itself. For
instance; the beast appears to have
one foot, at least, II not the larger por.
tiou Of his body, in that heretofore re.
markdbty conservative and orthodox Dem
ocrdtic inStitution-the Cincinnati En-
quirer. Thus that journal Of the Goth

ernor from the aspersions of cleric.

propricty of submitting the constitu-

raDble that had refused to participate
in framing the instrument:
"The Christian Advocate, the sol.
distant Methodist organ in this city
some time ago published a statement,
which the editor assures his readers
come from most respectable and re.
: liable source, to the effect that Gov
J Walker, Of Kansas, intended to OPP
pose and prevent the submission Of
the Constitution of Kansas TO the
vote of the people Of the Territory
We denounced this statement at the
time as false and inflammatoIy and
pointed out, in no measured terms
the hypocracy, iniquity and wicked
ness of this pretending religious pa

The Delta quoting the above, holds
forth as follows:
