WAsHINGTON Nov. 26.--The CORES
pondent Of the Daily Tssses says: Gov.
Walker had long and friendly interview
with the President to-day. They dis
cussed Kansas affairs at:length, especially
in relation to the propriety Of sustaining
the action Of the Constitutional Conyen-
ton in not referring the entire instru-
ment to the people
The distinguished gen:l.mcn, though
differing radically, parted friends, appoin-
ting another interview for the discussion
Of the same subject. Some Of their mu-
tual friends hope for tue ultimate recon.
citation 0: their views, but the hope is
| fallacious. Their differences are too rad
ical for compromise.
Open hostilities are inevitable The
Governors opposition to the Constitution
is not founded on the slavery clause,
which is only partially submitted, but on
the refusal Of the Convention to premit
the people to vote against as well as for
the Constitution. He regards this as a
violation Of the Federal Constitution, of
the Nebraska Kansas Bill, of popular
sovereignty, and the rights Of self-govern-
| mcnt.
The President insists that as the Con-
stitutional Convention was authorized by
Congress, he is bound to sustain its ac-
tions whatever it may be, while Walker
holds that the application of this doctrine,
to sustain the refusal to submit the en-
tire Constitution to the popular vote, to
be simple assertion of the right of Con-
grcss to force any Constitution on the
Territory, instead of leaving the pso pie
to decide for themselves. Gov. Walker
has never yet seen the Constitution,
and nobody outside knows what it is.
All effort of the Governor to obtain
a copy failed.
There is reason to fear that its signers
will be driven out of the Territory, that
it will be considered spurious, and that
the State Government never eau be set
in operation under it unless by the fed.
eral arms.
Gov. Walker declares that he cannot
acquiesce in the action of the convention
without violating every pledge he ever
gave, and sacrificing his honest conyic-
lions to make himself infamous. If re-
sistancc be made to the establishment OF
the State government the President
would necessarily call on the Governor OF
the Territory to exercise force to put it
down. This, with. his sentiments, Wal.
ker cannot do, and will not do, nor will
he resign.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.-Gov. Wal.
ker had an interview with the President,
to-day, about Kansas. ....
Dir. Buchanan, as at present advised,
is inclined to sustain the Convention.
Reliable adviccs from Chicago state
that Senator Douglas, also with Governor
Walker, will oppose the Lecompton Con.
stitution in the Senate. ....
Nov. 2S--As far as can be ascertaiped,
the Cabinet are united in sustaining the
action Of the Kansas Constitutional Con.
vention. Whatever preference there may
lave been for submitting the entire Con.
stitutl,.a. to the people, it is understood
that they are agreed that the mode pro.
posed for the inha. hitants to settle the
question ofslavery, as one 'nf their domes-
tic institutions for themselves In accor-
dance with the letter and spirit OF che
Kansas Nebraska act.
Gov Walker has had another inter
view with the President on the subject
OF Kansas affairs, and they also occupied
to-day large share of the Cabinets de-
alterations.
At the Cabinet meeting to-day the
President stated Gov. Walkers position
on Kansas affairs. The Cabinet unani-
mously unite with the President in favor
OF sustaining the action of the Constitu
al Convention with reference to submit.
ting the Constitution to the people, and
SO condemn Walker.
The door to reconciliation with Gov
Walkers position is now closed, and a
bitter contest between the two wings of
the Democracy is unavoidable.
Senator Douglas has been heard from
AS the author Of the Kansas Nebraska
act, he will take bold grounds in support
OF Walker. This the President has not
hitherto believed Douglas holds that
the refusal to submit the constitution to
the people when they desire it, is the
clearest reputation Of the doctrine of
popular sovereignty. Senator Gwin sus-
tains Walker.
No arrangements have yet been made
IN regard to the transmission of the
Presidents N esaage in advance of its de-
livery. @
1t is probable, however, that the news
paper press will be supplied with copies
by the means heretofore adopted. All
the reports of the heads Of Department
are In sufficient state of forwardness.
Private dispatches from New Orlea,.
express the greatest confidence Of &c
Walkers friends in the success Of his en-
terprise in Nicaragua. All avoid, howey-
or, stating the precise point of debarka-
ton. Walker left still claiming his
rights as President of Nicaragua. and de-
termined if any naval force attempts to
interrupt him to resist until death.
