The New Orleans Crescent, of August Sd
contains liberal abstracts of the opinions expires
sed BY Southern Journalists and Southern politi
clans, with reference 70 the course pursued by
Governor Walker in Congress. As this is mat

to enter our solemn protest against the policy
therein foreshadowed,"
They further declare that his pledge to cause
the Kansas constitution to be submitted to the
people for ratification or rejection merits uni
