Once Admit Slavery H. have legal tootnod IN ksu-
ear, and it will be . serious job TO eXpei it.
How is II, then, that spy but those ~tc cu'psbls

The rev professions Of BochAnsn Walker & Co.
that they mean 10 stand up for q fair vote on sbe
Slavery issue in Kansas1 ftbey really mean this,
what bss kept their mouths psdlocked during the
twe years earnest struggle for and against the
usurpstions ard tyrannies Of the bogus Legislature

iDiquih Can there ever be wrong more fragrant
Can there ever De On Investigation more searching,
an exposure more crushing, than those Of the
House Committee which last year spent
months in Kansas ard took the testimony Of every
witness offered, whether for or against the great
fraud Remember that the Democratic party in
Congress fought for weeks against making any Il.
ves.ieaton at Al-that just one Buchanan Demo

Ksnsss) voted to investigate at oil, and not one
Member from Slave State of any party whatsoever;
and that the Senate, which might have sent Demo
cratic Committee to investigate, if that were
deemed advisable, carefully ab,tained from sending
any at all And Mr.. Douglass Senate Report of
March II, 1856, goes over the whole ground sffer
his fashion, and insists that the bogus Legislature
was, to all practical intents, rghtfuy ele:ted and
properly constitu,ed-tbat it was true and vadd
Legislature for Kansas, and must, a. such, be re-
sFectsd ard obeyed.
Every measure adopted by the late House TO re-
lieve tie People Of Kansas from this atrocious
usurpaton was resisted and defeated BY the Demo
cratic minority in the House and majority in the
Senate. Not one Buchanan Democrat voted at tho
first trial to admit Kansas as State under her
Free-State Constitution, and the only one who did
at the second attempt was Mr.. Barclay Of Pa, who
moved the reconsideration, and who was therefor
denounced by bis own party and absolutely driven
over to the support Of Fremont. The House thus
passed, by 80 TO 81, the bill admitting Kansas a.
Free State, but the Senate crushed it BY party
vote &c to IL. So ended the struggle at the lOog
Session to relieve the People Of Kansas from the in.
tolerable u.urpaton which had subjected them to
tyranny, outrage, spoliation, anarchy and murder
every effort to redress their wrongs, no matter
from what quarter, being resisted BY the whole
9Th Of the Buchanan Democracy.
At the last Session, the House returned to the
subject, and, on full delberatlon, passed . bill
wipns out The tyrannous acts and spurious officials
patched by the Border R0ffian usurpation AID its
bogus Legislature, and directing the Governor of
Kansas to order and provide for an election FOX
new Territorial Legislature, taking every preeau-
ton against illegal voting and fraudulent returns,

which should be the basis Of all legislative power
therein afterward. This proposition was So fair,
rea, enable and just-beirg q medium between
recognizing the Topeka Constitution on the ono
hand, and sustaining the bogus Legislature on the
other-tbat, along with all the Republicans nearly
every American from the Free States voted for
t-Broom of Pa. and our Whitney being tho only
e1ceptops-yet every Buchanan Democrat voted
against it, and, though it passed the House By %
to 49, it was Immediately laid on the table of the
Senate by party vote, there TO sleep the seep Of
death. And thus ended al efforts in the last Con-
gress to rescue by some means the People Of Kan.
sas from the fiaudulently imposed rule of the BIZ
der RpffaDs.
But our rulers understand the superficial virtue
that inherss in "new broOms." Gov Geary is
turned adrift because he asked TO be clothed with
authority and backed by force to enable him to do
Justice in Kansas in such stinted measure as the
bogus flaws" will permit; and Robert j. Walker
is cent out in his stead clothed with all the power
and backed by all the support asked for by Gov.
Geary; and again the People are required to rejoice
at Gov. Walkers appointment and hail it as an
olive branch held GU. to Kansas, because Mr.. w.
repeats the stereot ped professions of his party that
they are in favor Of letting the People of Kansas
settle the Slavery question for themselves "bya
fair and regular vote, -" full and fair vote Of
81 majority of the People"
Now, we have not prejudged, and shall not pre-
Judge Gov. Walker. We shall be very happy to
find him protector and defender Of the long
abuse People of KanssS, inste ad Of an accomplce
of the wolves who harass and destroy them. We
do not say that he will not realize the fondest an.
ticpations of bis Northern eulosists. Bat this we
do say, that never up to this hour, has he raised
bis voice against the frauds, the c.lmes, whereof
the People of Kansas have for two years been vic.
tims-never has he whispereda word Of dissent from
the doctrines and the votes of Douglas, TOOmbs,
StrinsfeIow, Whitfield and their cOnfederasss-
never has be n.m.ted disapproval Of the Border.
Ruffian usurpation in Kansss or any Of its nat
u,s fIuits-and there L. notone promise in bis letter
of acceptance that any member of he Slavery Prop
.sanda would not readily make under similar cir.
cumstances. In short his letter only reiterates the
pledges which hi, party has 'olemnly made in fifty
