The people generally viii be rejOiced to learn
that President Buchanan has rendered the res'
Ponsible and difficult post Of Governor Of Kan
sas to the Hon. RI. WkLKER, Secretary Of the
Treasury under Mr.. Polk, aAd that after much
solicitation be has finally accepted n the ap-
pointment and has secured the cohsent Of Hon.
F. Stanton, Of Tennessee: to act as Secretary,
whose talents and energy will be Of great SER
vice, in conjunction with his own, in securing
peace, and the rights Of all the citizens Of the
Territory, until it acquires State organization
The President has shown great wisdom and
tact in securing the acceptance Of this post by
this distinguished Statesman-one which is by
no means desirable to evena second or third
rate man, and Secretary Walker only accepts oI
it because of the present important crisis in that
Territory, and the efforts of bad men on both
sides, to bring about renewal of hostilities for
personal and political purposes. He is the man
for the crisis.
The New York Evening Post, black repub-
lican paper, referring to the appointment of Hon
II. j. Walker, says
ain view of all these circumstances, it is i'm.
portant that southern man should be selected as
G oY. Geary's successor-a man whose opinions
in regard to slavery cannot become the subject
Of debate, and who, at the same time, is known
to the whole nation as a statesman of tact and
administrative experience. Mr.. Walker is the
only candidate named who answers to all these
conditions. We hope he will go should his
health justify him in accepting the Office
Adespatch 10 the New York Daily Times,
Opposition paper) from Washington cores
pondent, dated March 25, says
Appearances indicate that Hon. Robert j.
Walker will accept of the appointment which is
offered him, of successor to Geary. 1t is the
universal hope here that he will do so and his
choice will be hailed with enthusiasm by men of
all parties-enthusiasticj joy by the southern fac
ton, and feelings of exutation of less lauda-
BILE character by those who thir k that they will
have caught the new Administration tripping
The expectations Of this latter class of individ-
uals will, trust, be disappointed, and it strikes
me as ungenerouS to forestall public opinion by
prognosticating evil before 1t actually comes to
pass.
The policy of Mr.. Buchanan, concerning
Kansas has been clearly laid down, in various
communications he has made verbally to persons
who have lately visited him from different Sec
tons of the country. He believes that it is in
dispensible to send frst-rate man to the dispu-
ted Territory, and he prefers that the appoint
ed should be clear-he Union Southerner,
because it will be impossible for the fre-eating
extremists to complain of the measures which
such an Executive may take for the purpose of
protecting Free State interests.
Walker, whatever objections there may have
been to his receiving the seals of the office of
Secretary of State, is not man to be safely or
justly taboed, even by his enemies. His power
industry discrimination, keen insight iuto the
motives of men, and laudable ambition to stand
we'll before the country, cannot be questioned for
an instant. urSeu, IN conversation TO- uay
with gentleman who stands high in Mr.. Bu-
chanan's confidence, his Identification with the
ultra Southern interest as an objection to his ap-
pointment "You do not know" said he "of
whom you are talking. predict that if Mr..
Walker goes to Kansas, he will unravel the
Atchnson web and pave the way for the admis-
sion Of Kansas as Free State in snch manner
that the mouths of those who have heretofore
sympathized with Border Ruifianism will be ef
ectually and forever stopped.' Ifso-if Rob-
ertJ j, Walker carries out, in Kansas the strict
letter and spirit of the Kansas Nebraska law,
he will realize the prediction which Mr.. Buchan
an made the to New York Congressional Delega-
ton on Saturday last, that the appointee of his
Administration to succeed Gov. Geary would
have nobler and higher sphere in which to dis
tinguish himself and merit the gratitude of the
Country than any other officer of the Govern
ment of the United States.
