The Hon. r. ]. Walker, Of Mississippi,
has accepted the Office of Governor Of ham
sas, vice Geary, resigned. The post Of Ter
ritorial Secretary of State has been accepted
by Hon. Frederick p. Stanton, of Tennessee;
The New York Times gives the following
biography of the new Governor of Kansas.
Robert ]. Walker, the son Of Judge Walk
er, one ofthe Judges of the Supreme Court of
the United States, was born In Pennsylvania,
and believe not far from the home of Mr.
Buchanan He studied law under his own
father, and practised his profession at Pitts
burgh, where he married a daughter of Frank
lin Bache, of Philadelphia, and grand
daughter to Benjamin franklin. The first
nomination of Andrew Jackson for the Pre-
sidency, was made by young Walker, short
ly after he was admitted to the bar, at con-
yention of the Pennsylvania Democracy
After his emigration to Mississippi he became
identified with Texan independence but took
NO leading part in national matters until the
declaration of South Carolina in favor Of null
LITIGATION excited his zeal in behalf of the
Union. Then succeeded the famous strug-
gle between himself and Poindexter-the
latter the right hand of Calhoun in Missis-
sippi, through whom he hoped to gain over
that State to the cause of secession.
Walker, in the Senate, became the conf
Dental friend of Jackson, and took lead
ing part in the annexation of Texas; but be
it remembered by those who distrust him on
account of his supposed Pro-slavery procliy-
ities, that he strenuousiy opposed Mr.. Cal
houn's prof sct of making all Of Texas sIave
Territory, and was the main instrument of
making the freedom of the soil of the nor
thern portion of our newly acquired posses
sons a condition of annnexation.
Walker was first requested by sr. Polk to
enter his cabinet as Attorney General, that
post being deemed most in accordance with
his tastes; but subsequent events transferred
hun 20 the Treasury Department He then
inauguraied the ''revenue, as distinguished
| from the ''protection' tariff system, and
drew up and reported the tariff of lo46.
Walker is the only cabinet officer who
has had his reports reprinted abroad. Sir
Robert Peel had them printed, for the bene-
| fit Of the House of Commons, and ias is the
honor Of being the only financial minister
whom the world has produced, who has adj
vanced Government Stock and maintained
them above par, during foreign war, and
while it was borrowing money daily.
The Kansas herald of freedom., 1857-04-18
President Of the United States
Reports from Washington.

The Cabinet have had several consulta :
tious RELATIVE to the affairs of Kansas. Mr..
;;tanton, the new Secretary of State, will
leave for Kansas on the 9th of April, and be
the acting Governor until the arrival of Gov.
Walker, whose private business will detain
him here till the Second Monday in May.
The outlines of the instructions to Govern
or Walker have been agreed upon by the
Cabinet, and proceed on the principle of re-
cognizing the Kansas Statutes as valid.
The principal business viii which he is
charged is to see that the people have free,
independent, and uninterrupted expression
of opinion, and The exercise of suffrage,
concerning the affairs of the Territory, in
carrying out the provisions of the Census
and registry law, and that for the election of
delegates to the Constitutional Convention.
The troops heretofore employed in the
Territory are TO be rem Dvrd, and others not
engaged In the former difficulties 10 be ORDER
ed thither; but it is not apprehended there
will be any use for them nor the militia.
Mr.. Woodson, who has been superseded
by Mr.. Stanton as Secretary of Stats for
Kansas, will be appointed to the land Office,
in that Territory.
