4 Gorenaoy Walkers Kansas Inaugural "a
4 Black Republican Outsider Amsucred
Additional Extracts from Governor
Walkers Introductory address.
Correspondence Of the New York Herald.
! WASHINGTON, May l9, 1857.
Iperceive that one of your Black Repub-
lican journals say that the account, as given
in the Herald Of Monday morning, 'sof Gov.
Walkers Introductory manifesto to the peo-
pie Of Kansas is utterly false from beginning
to end,'' and that this Black Republican
Know Nothing further says: ssPlease re-
quest your readers to cut out the parts OF
the manifesto quoted by the Herald's cor
respondent, and to compare them with the
document in question when it really ap-
pears"
Now, sir, although Mr.. Walker on arri-
wing at his destination in Kansas may deem
! it expedient to make some modification OF
his Introductory address as prepared at
Washington, yet am willing to abide by
the test which this black republican outsi-
der requires. Let the extract which have
given be cut out and compared "with the
document in question when it really APP
pears.' They are from a copy Of the adj
| dress which was read before and approved
by the Cabinet; and now give you another
extract or two. am also informed that
the brilliant observations Of MIR. Walker on
the Pacific Railroads, the manifest destiny
of Kansas, &C., were received by the
Cabinet with perfect enthusiasm, including
~,
lations of the President and the Secretary of
State.
Mr.. Walker (page 10 of the manuscript
copy of his address, which lhave been free
ly permitted to overlook says: s'Upon look
ing at the location of Kansas, find that,
within reasonable boundaries, she will be
the central State of the American Union
Equi-distant from North to South, and
from the Atlantic to the Pacific, she will be,
in truth, the great central State Of the
Union, bounded upon the North and the
South, the East and the West, with vast
extent of fertile lands; a geographical po-
sition most commanding; national, it is to
be hoped, in all her views; free from Sec
tional prejudices, worthy Of her position
in the centre of the Union; devoted, trust,
to all constitutional guarantees; uninhuen-
ced by bigotry or fanaticism," &c.
ssNext, "he says, son the North lies the
Nebraska Territory, soon to become State;
on the South the great and fertile Indian
country, soon Ihope to become State, aid
ed and encouraged by the State Of Kansas.
To the borders of Kansas run all the great
lines Of railroad. From st. Louis and Mis-
souri,, the Southwestern Railroad, and the
Hannibal and St. Joseph road, and through
her borders (MissourD proceed the great
routes connecting Kansas with the Southern
Pacific Railroad, through the Indian terrific
ry and Texas, and with the Great Central
route, and the Great Northern Route to the
Pacific. Westward and Northward these
great routes connect her (kansas) directly
with Puget Sound, the mouth of the Oregon
(Columbia) river, and with San Francisco,
| and from the Southern boundary of Kansas
| in straight line of but four hundred and
fifty miles to the Gulf of Mexico. And the
railroad through the Indian TERRITORY would
connect her with New Orleans Galveston and
through Texas, with San Francisco and
other points upon the Pacific. Kansas &C.
cupes positson, therefore Of immense
power, and with wise counsels, and a proper
development of her resources, as the great
central State Of the Union, with the most
fertile soil and salubrious climate, particle
pating in the intercourse of the Atlantic and
Pacific, the lakes of the North and the Gulf
of Mexico the Red River of the North and
Of the South, the Arkansas, Missouri and
| Mississippi, she must become one Of most
prosperous, populous and powerful States of
the American Union"
That's good but mark what follows, Mr..
NT,ll Il 81 4
ideas, that Kansas, ''with her neighbor on
the East, the great State of Missouri extern
ding along her whole eastern i kundary. and
from whom come so many on her people.
her intercourse by the rivers and railroads
must be most intimate, and she can surely
feel no disposition to establish hostile rela-
tons with that State, to become a propa-
gandist of abolition, an asylum for fugitive
slaves, multiplying the decisions of the Su-
preme Court Of the United States, and stir
ring up volcanic fires in the heart of the
American Union. On the South lies the
great fertile Indian slaveholding territory,
| together with Texas, supplying her with
cotton for her manufactures. and (kansas)
supplying them in return with her hemp,
grain and other products. Thus on the
South and East she will be bounded by slave
holding States. whilst if, from soil, climate,
production, and other causes, she (kansas)
should ultimately become d free State, she
will at least retain all those great conserva-
tive features which will enable her to
strengthen and perpetuate the American
Union"
If this thrilling, comprehensive and enthu-
sias appeal to town and lot, city plot, and
land and railroad spectators and stock
| iobbers, in and out of Kansas, does not
paciticate the free State party, nothing will.
Mr.. Walkers first grand idea is to convince
and win over the Kansas and Wall street
SPECTATORS; and if he does that he gains
his cause, niggers or no niggers, 1t is
evident, from his allrson to Kansas beeom
ing ultimately free State" that he ex-
poets her to be admitted with a slave State
constitution. But in another part of his adj
dress he says: 81 have ever throughout my
life, regarded the framing of constitution
by a convention of delegates as but u mere
preliminary proceeding, expressing simply
| the opinions Of the convention, but obliga-
tory only when ratified by-a solemn vote of
! the people themselves" And this leaves a
fine opening for his ultimate plan Of a
Northern Kansas and Southern Kansas,
by act Of Congress.
Now, sir, in regard to my original extracts
and these additions from Mr.. Walkers I'D
dress, as read before the Cabinet; accept
the test of your Black Republican sceptc,
and await the official report from Kansas.
