An Appeal and A Threat.

Our negbbor of the South is conducting the war
against Walker and his outrages in Kansas with
wonderful zeal and energy. And what is more, it
both appeals to and threatens Mr.. Buchanan in the
same breath, and with great vehemence But the
Solah from present indications, is sustained in its
course by an overwhelming majority of its party at
the South. The large Democratic States of Geor-
ga and Alabama, both back it in its efforts to keep
the administration to its pledges. VS. the South
-"eppealiug to his sense of ersoua hon r, to his
grateful recognition of the important service which
he received from the South, in the hour Of his
urgent necessity, to his pledges and principles, to
the circumstances of bis position as the impartial
representative of the party the State Rights De-
mocraey entreat hr. Buchanan to give some assn
that Walkers course in Kansas is not determ-
ined by the instructions ratified by the approba-
lion of the Administration" Quite a tender and
touching appeal this, but we fear it will not be an
swered, and the South itself seems to be of the
same opinion, as the following extract will attest.
in which the President is threatened in the stern, st
terms:
$50 FAR the Administration has refused to Weld
anything to the demands of the Southern Democ-
racy. On the contrary. il is announced in very
precise and positive terms that Mr. Buchanan ~
proves Walkers course in Kansas and is smartiv
provoked by the expos tulations Of the Georgia and
Mississippi Democracy, An authoritative article in
the UuOH Of Tuesd y confirms the report OF the
telegraph, and allows scarcely doubt as TO the DO
sition Of the Administration"
IF Mr. Buchanan eHteFttins the idea that be can
trfs with the feelings of the South, RI Democracy
aud may safely defy their vengeance he il at liner
II TO uud rtake the experiment But il IS hardly
possit J. that sagaeous politician can mistake
the ap1logetc tone Of few p,eemen for the genu
inc voice OF the Southern people. Though the
Southern members Of the Cabinet should incline 10
diparage the spirit Of the State Rights Democrat v
the distinct aud emphatic utterance OF the Georgis
and Mississippi Conventions would not allow of g.,
fatal as TO suppose that any regard Tor The
integrity Of Party or auy attachment to 40 Admin
isiration, viii compel silent acquiescenee 10 The
hsBsHs outrage. IL Mr.. Bnchauan attempts to
shield Walker, he RiH only expose his own oody 70
a mort.l stroke. There is no divinity about the
person Of a President which the Democracy are
afraid to violate. The instant the Administers ton
e umes the responsibility OF Walkers treacaery,
that instant will the subaltern sink out OF sight aud
Tue Pr,sid ut b. come the object Of the denuncia-
ton which is nov levelled against his appontee"
Il is true enough that $50 far the Admuistra-
ton has refused to YIELD ANYTHING to the demands
Of the Southsrn Democracy :" and We predict that
il viii persist 10 its refusal Il is equally true that
there IS scarcely doubt the position of the
Administration" in regard TO the course Of Walker
OLD Buck sustains Walker-and means 70 sustain
him to the bitter end. We feel sorry for the state
Rights Democracy" Neither their appeals nor
her threats Nill have suy effect az " ashIngsoa.
ne also tee sorry tor the Admi8istratiou--ioF the
State Rights Democracy are perfect tigers when
reused. Push on the ball. Richmond PAiq. Ja-
