proceedings of the late democratic convention weregret
that can't give approval TO the whole of the plat
form adopted We shall support the nominee because
have confidence in the man, believing him capable,
honest and firm supporter Of the Buchanan admins
tration in fact heart and hand with the
ton in all their acts except in their resolution condemnng
Gov Walker. This think premature unwise, and
not in accordance with the ss-Nebaska bill upon
the principles Of which present party organization is
based
There no man in the Union that deserves more the
confidence of the South and of the conservative Of
the American people, than Gov Walker No man did
more to bring about the Texas annexation than he did
Long senator from Mississippi, he always found
true TO the constitutional rights of the South AS Sece-
tary Of the Treasury under Mr. Polk, he made charac
ter fnancer equal to that of any who had
filed that important position since which time he has
been enjoying the confidence of his party to extent
unsurpassed by any in the North and up to the
time of his appointment governor of Kansas there
outside the ranks of black republicans
who could or had said one word rejecting upon his
character sound, national democrat. His APP
pointment met with the almost unanimous approval
of the South II, then, his character has thus been
above suspicion for so long time, it would
that the evidence of his corruption and treason TO
his party must be found in his governor To pass
judgment upon these acts inquire into the object
Of his mission to that Territory.
1t to the laws executed and restore peace TO the
Territory These his only duties Has he not done
his whole duty, and nothing morei He has gone and
sided with the regularly constituted legislature and to
restore peace he has gone the disurbcs and talked to
them in the most patriotic strain he has told them
plainly what their duty and urged them in the
eloquent and soulstrng appeals to do it, and the
Union. Has he done anything more than this If he
has ask for one to point IL out We have read
his inaugural and southern man, Georgian and
who loves the Union and the constitution, we
cam it, Does it not strange those who con-
denim him that the po-savery papers of Kansas those
who know what he has done, and under what circum-
stances, giving him their hearty support while all
aboondom is out in the vilest abuse Of him and his
course?
The truth is he is steering between the two extremes
he is neither making Kansas slave free State he
doing his duty he is carrying out the great principles
of the Kansas and Nebraska that the people shall
rule he is following the instructions of Mr. Buchanan
and cabinet at whose head is the great and noble veteran
of democracy, Lewis Cas, associated with majority of
Of southern He working for the whole country
not for the North the South and therefore you find
the aboltionists Of the North who hate the Unon
the dsunionists of the South who for different reason
have the object in view hcapng upon him all the
abuse which human language express But let them
the people right, and will never follow
them the yeomany of the country, the industrious and
and honest farmer, mcachanc and merchant still APP
prcciac the good Of the Unon and will blidy fol-
low those oficeattened demagogucs who will profess
anything that the stalls of office may be open unto
them
We believe Walker is doing his duty and that he will
continue to do So and that pence will again be given to
tho people of Kansas and that she will finally be admit
ted into the Union with such constitution the major
If nconle will apnroyc and thnt slave
we shall he satisfied All we ask is That the people
be allowed to decide for themselves That is republican
that is right and ought to grumbe Wehave every
confidence in the integrity nationality and sound states
manshp Of Mr. Buchanan, and no set of men can lead
into opposition to his administration unless he shall HERE
AFTER do act not in accordance with his past po
tcal course and the principles enuncated in his inau
gura and whiewe shall support Judge Brown with all our
ZEAL we are determined to give the
adoption of any line Of policy by which shall be alien
atcd from our friends of the North, thus forming sec
tonal party and do away with all hope for the Union.

THE PUBLIC MONEY---MORE DEVELOPMENTS.
1t seems that the cfaulter Gibson was the only one
of the black republican State officers who has been spec
ulating and banking upon the public money The late
Attorney General Kmball also took hand in private
speculation Soon after he elected, he opened n
brokers' Office in Cleveland with borrowed money from
the treasury This fact is thus set forth in the report
made by the blaczrcpublican finance investigating
mttcc to the last State legislature The extract will be
found on page 10. 1t is as follows:
s.Thc firm of Kimball s. Co., bankers of Cleveland,
consisting of the late attorney general now deceased
and his brother-in-law, Pho Chamberlain, formed
last spring, uS56) and after its formation, obtain
cd of the treasurer deposite of about $50 900 of public
funds with the understanding, as the committee learn
from the treasurer that should be repaid if required
the July interest No part OF the dcposite has
been paid December 49, 1856 had then increased "
Gibson very likely had share in that speculation and
is most probably connected with Tom Ford, the black
republican lieutenant governor who has been doing an
extensive business in western lands Whether there
any more of the republican State officers mixed up in
these spcculaons remain to be Their honesty,
doubt not is about par. They knew their time
short at the public crib and they went in for making all
the money possible in the brief space allotted to them by
the people before the inevitable return of the democracy
to power Their friends also largely favored under
the Breslin- Gibson reign:
The report of their own smelling committee shows
too that fusion firm of Garfield Iadd, in the inland
town Of Medina were favored with $40 600 without bond
or script for security 10 show who the favored
ones we copy from their own report
March H. 1856, there were in the treasury evidences
Of Indebtedness of the Seneca County (Gisons) Bank
