n6f the greatest Of living politicians. In his

se of late years has been rather inconsistent than
otherwise which has impaired the strength he once
had upon the affections Of the people. They CUES
ton his stability while they do not doubt his fidelity
to the South any leading point-and, without sta
blity, no man can hope to attain and hold the posi-
ton of foremost leader when a mighty struggle is
raging in which are involved the interests, welfare
and future Of millions. sa&
But the most important feature of the proceedings
Of the Convention is the resolution adopted in rela
ton to the inaugural address Of Governor Walker
and Kansas affairs generally, which is given entire
We much gratifed at the adoption Of the resolu-
ton and trust similar action will be taken in all con-
ventons of the people Of the Southern States which
may be held hereafter. It's time the press and people
Of the South, without distinction Of party NOV
ing if they wish to defeat vile scheme OF treachery

will be seen that the famous address Of Governor
Walker to the people of Kansas is ttngly denounced
while full confidence in the honesty and integrity Of
| President Buchanan is asserted. The future will
demonstrate whether this confidence is merited and
and let the future take care of itself We are pre-
pared to await its developments. If the resolution
induces the President to remove Governor alker we
are willing to say freely and frankly, that notwth-
standing we have been lifelong political opponents,
many misgivings will be banished from our mind. If
it does not, those misgyings will be made stronger
and more oppressive. fts

Of Kansas at the same time that was ever heard of
With an mpudence that amounted to submity, he as

! which Kansas should be admitted into the Union,
when he possessed no more authority in the premises
than the Devil possessed when he offered all the king
doms of the earth to our Saviour fhe would worship
4 him. He had no more right to dictate terms to the
Constitutional Convention of Kansas than any other
! man in the Territory. Constitutional Convention

resents the direct sovereignty of the people-and if
republican form of government is the result Con
