Factionists on both sides have labored Il
disseminate the opinion that 8 Nationa
Governor Of Kansas must necessarily stand
alone and be unsupported ~ any large body
of the people. They wish it to be believed
that every man is either an .Atchisonite 81.
eater or Garrison Abolitionist, and thai
no fair, executive can give satisfaction, Of
fail in acquiring the hostility Of al parties.
This is not however, : true representation
Of the state Of feeling in the Territory. The
bitter animosities which have prevailed In
certain localities, and which strive to tester,
are on the contrary, dying out, and large
majority Of the settlers have arrived at tie
cony iction that they have something more
important to think about than nigpers.-
Their emulation has been excited by the
grants Of lands for railroads, public schools.
universities &c., which have been made by
Congress to neighboring States and Terri
tories, and the rapid development Of material
prosperity within the past few months has
brought with it desire rather to accumu.
late wealth from the natural resources with

aids. Z, "A 80 y + + ~ q.
Whatever anxieties Mr.. Walker may have
felt few weeks ago in relation to the sem
timents of the Kansas population. thew have
been diminished, and he has been greatly
encouraged by the authentic accounts he
has received in opposition to partizan news

that, by placing himself at once, and boldly,
upon the platform Of the Constitution and
the Kansas Nebraska law, he can rally
around him a sufficient number Of patriotic
citizens to outnumber fanatics Of all kinds,
including both Missouri hot-heads and
Greeleyite seditionists. Determined, as Mr..
Walker is, not 10 interfere with the wishes
Of the majority Of the people, az regards
the nature Of the institutions they may adopt
in becoming State, he is equally resolved
thvt a fair, fuH and free expression of opin-
ION shall be elected. He repeatedly obsery-
ed, while here, that he should consider it n
sspoint Of honor to prevent the ssc,,ormo,ls
crime, Of fraud and Injustice. let it be at

There has been an endless amount IF

by the Kansas Legislature to make proyis-

The arrangements for the snhm;ss;on of
Constitutions to the people have inyariablv
been made by the Conventions themselves.
Such was the case in Virginia, New York.
Florida, Missouri, Texas. Lou iana. -and a
other States. The action Of the Legislature
upon such point, would be Equivalent to
the assumption Of the right to prescribe. n
what an article Of the Constitu-
ton should be! That the Kansas Conyen.
ton will submit the result Of its Iabors 10
the people Of the Territory, admits Of no
kind of doubt. Should it not do SO, Con.
gress will of 20 arse, reject their Constitu-
ton, and postpone the consideration Of the
admission Of the Territory as State, until
full justice shall have been done in the
premises. We even learn that the instruc-
