Kansas again.

The comse.of Gov. WALKER. in Kansas,
has very naturally provoked the hostility
ofthe South. No, so much by the doctrine
he advocates, (tlc submission of the consti-
ton to the people for their confirmation or
rejection) as by total departure from
the non intervention principle as laid down
in the Nebraska, Kansas bill. 1t has amazed
both his friends and enemies, and neither
now appear willing TO trust him. Truly,
the fate of the traitor is q terrible and just
one. From what we can learn, however,
even Gov. WALKER cannot now change the
pro,slavery prestige there. The convention
just elected, toframe constitution, is al
most entirely made up of Southern men.
Hear, too what the Kansas Herald says:
"KANsAs A SLAVE SrArE.--Some few
Of our friends, who are little faint hearted,
seem disposed to despond as to the pros.
poets of making Kansas Slave State. But
these men are not well posted, and do not
understand the man@uvrings of our oppo,
nents. There are set Of men in our Ter
ritory, who, regardless of the real interest
of the people, are working for political cnpi
tai AT the North. To accomplish this they
would ruin the Territory, and keep up ag-
itation, excitement and bring about civil
war. They are n set of outlaws. and have
already driven many good conservative Free
State men from their ranks. No good Ma
uonal Democrat can vote and act with this

They are from the Western, Middle and
Slave States. They are men who are not
disposed to interfere with slavery where it
exists The prospects for making Kansas
a Slave State, are bright and promising -
The Black Republicans al lcat, will be po-

Recent letters from Gen. ArcuIsoN and
Col. BAKERalso express the belief that Kan
sas will be slave State. Time alone, how
ever, can deveopo the result.

1t is difficult question, and none but the
