Fertilization.
We have informed our readers Of tie promi
nent featurcs Of Gov. Walkers plan for the
pacifcaton Of Kansas, in the very interesting
and suggestive extracts which we have published
from his Introductory address to the people Of
the Territory. as read before the Cabinet q,
Washington We shall now proceed briefly 10 fill
in the lights and shades Of the picture. of which
this address may be considered the mere outline.
Gov Walker first declares that the local laws
must be enforced-that the arrangements of the
late pro-slavery Kansas Legislature for the cleo
ton of q Convention in June, to fom State
constitution, cannot be evaded; and that the re-
fusal of the free State party to participate in this
forthcoming election, instead of helping their
cause, will only damage it, inasnuch az the
majority of those who do vote in the election
will be adjudged as speaking in behalf Of those
who do not vote. To soften this blow, however
to the free State party, Mr.. Walker says, in sub
stance, that he always has regarded the act of a
Convention, in the adoption of a State constitu-
ton, as but preliminary proceeding. requiring.
in every case, the ratifying vote of the people
before it can be considered by Congress as u
satisfactory application from the Territory for
admission as State into the Union.
This it Is true, il a mere opinion, but az the
official opinion Of the chief Executive officer of
the Territory, approved by the President of the
United States, we accept it as an opinion which
is to be the Law. The local Legislature providing
for this June election Of State Convention has
made no provision for the submission of the work
of the Convention to a vote of the people. We
are also pretty well satisfied that the Convention
will not run the hazard of popular vote upon
pro-slavery constitution. considering the heavy
reinforcements which will have been secured to
the free State settlers by the spring and Summer
Northern emigations into Kansas The pro-
slavery party will, VIC apprehend, adopt the
shorter course of direct submission of their State
charter to Congress. with an accompanying ap.
plicaton for the admission Of Kansas into the
Union as . slave State.
AT this point the ultimate plan Of Mr.. Walker
comes in. Upon the serious informality referred
to, the work of the pro slavery Convention, and
the proceedings, circumstances and counter ap-
plicaton Of the free State party, will most pro-
badly be thrown back by Congress upon the peo-
the asperities of the contrasting parties and to re-
duce them TO peace and Cancellation, We may
then look out for new compromise
from Congress, embracing Northern
Kansas and Southern Kansas, free State
and slave State, to come into the Union like
two lovers to their marrisge-am in arm. Thus
the politicians of both parties, struggling and
wrspgiing and fighting for Congressional and
Senatorial honors and the official spoils and plum.
der of a new State, will be satisfied, and we may
yet live to see the happy grouping in the Senate
chamber at Washington Of Lane and Robinson
as the Senator'S from Northern Kansas, and of
Atchisou and Strindellow as the Senator'S from
Southern Kansas, all side by side.
To secure the consent and cooperation of the
masses Of both parties in and out Of Kansas
pro-slavery and no slavery-to this ultimate adj
justment, the splendid imagination Of Governor
Walker has furnished us the most gorgeous pic
iure for the land spectators and stockholders
that the human mind could conceive. Look at
il. Kansas il TO be the central State of the
Union. All the vast network Of the railroads OF
the United States seeking Western outlet are
TO converge into and divcrgc out Of Kansas, like
the raliating lines from the setting sun les,
from Pugets Sound. Astoria, San Francisco aud
San Diego, on the Pacific, the mighty commerce
Of Asia and the islands Of the Indian seas, will
come by railroads through Kansas TO the Fast.
From Galveston New Orleans and Mobile, on the
South. by river and rail. the teemiug products
of the West Indies will be poured into
Leavenworth, westward and northward bound
From the Atlantic seaboaId the trade Of Europe
and Of the solid bulk of the Union, by all the
railroads east Of the Mississippi, seeking 'hc Pa
ciGc ocean, viii be diverted through Kansas and,
finally, the extensive territories of the Hudson's
Bay Company seeking Southern market will
by other railroads inundate the popuious cities
OF Kansas with their furs and pel,ries
Let this glorious vision OF manifest destiny
be realized and the cities OF Kansas in wealth
and splendor will soon eclipse those marble cities
Of the deserts OF Asia Minor, built up from the
droppipgs Of The caravan routes OF ancient fines
marble cities, the ruins of which. even at this
remote dsy. are the wonder and admiration Of

for Kansas, what lie this temporary question Of

this moment, we dare say, the black republican
city site, town lot, and land and railroad speou-
lators In and out of Kansas, are ready to join
