GOV. WALKER AND KANSAS.


We copy the following from late number Of the
Fad.,.l ~ a,,s,.N Ir,;o,
ANN N'e''s'p Nnion
seems To us that some OF our southern contempt
rres have been entirely too hasy IN condemning Gov
Walker and through him the administration of Mr. Blu
chana What evidence have we that either of them in
tends to beay the South All ofthe antecedents of both
Governor Walker and Mr. Buchanan opposed to such
conclusion Before condemn those who have been
our friends let weigh well the testimony against them
There are many among who have already shown, by
their mmodeate joy and exultation that they would be
well pleased II they could convict the administration of
treason to the South In this they have been convicted
of permitting their hatred of democracy to overpower
their love OF country To these have nothing TO sa
reason would be lost them. But to those who arc
willing to be just and reasonable would say reflect
upon the peculiar situation Of governor Of Kansas at
this time, when perhaps u would be impossible for any
the face OF the earth in that position, to give
satisfaction to both parties Let remember that the
governor sent TO Kansas not TO make it either free
slave State but TO that the citizens of Kansas
have fair chance of forming constitution to suit them
selves II doing this il is the duty of the governor to
observe strict neutrality between the contending par
ties but thousands both sides strongly inn
pressed with the idea that they right that they
satisfied with neutrality but insist that the governor
should help their side In his address to the people OF
Kansas, Gov. Walker anxious to impress upon the

THE NEW YORK POLICE BILL.

The discussion excitement and violence caused by the
attempt to enforce the New York metropolitan police bill
have partially subsidized and the public awaiting
the decision of the court Of appeals to the Constitutional
" of the law We do not propose to anticipate that de-
cision 1t may sustain tho metropolitan police BILL it
may repudiatc it. But public sentiment, which is The
law Of this country will sustain the theory of legisI
ton by which this law has been enacted and is es
sayed to be enforced The law may be- in technical
sense Constitutional but nevertheless it violates the funda
mental principle Of American the right of
the people to govern themselves. Our revolutionary
sires wared with Great Britain for the idea that taxation
and representation should be combined that Ito
homcly illustration) the that paid the fiddler
should have right to dance The cargo of tea in Boston
harbo not thrown overheard because the citizens Of
Boston could not pay for it, but because they would not
buy upon any terms unless they parties Free indie
pendent parties to the bargain,
The principle AYE, the fundamental principle Of Amer
lean legislation is municipal power 1t is the right of
every locality, Of every political family, to govern its
affairs. Government is of representation and
in its whole theory and practice Is opposed to the
idea of political cenralizatoa Hence city large and i'm
portant like New York city, not only docs not need the
supervision of State central power but any interference
from such with its local wishes is essentially ,g
preston Corporate rights against general central
legislation il the true secret Of free government every
where wherever centaliation exists, there is
s,rily, tyranny wherever the States rights or cty's
rights respected is freedom
Why should the legislature of the State of New York
attempt TO control the management of the local police OF
New York city The citizens know their wants they
protest against the the interference of the State
because they satisfied with existing order of things
They win not, finally whatever the immediate result
submit to dication in local affairs. Should your neigh
Dor be invested with the authority to enter your private
domicl? You answer, The same principle applies
to the government of cities that is recognised in the man
agoment of families the principle being simply expanded
In the family government ii is not only just but polite
that it should be well ordered and conspire against
the peace and security of its neghborhood in the
government OF our municipal families long they do
not violate the general peace and security of the State
State has right TO dictate the management of their To-
cal affairs Hence the citizens of New York should not
be legisated for against their will in local matters by the
State legislature.
