Gov. Walker sustained BY Kansas De-
moCracys

Gov. Walker sustained BY Kansas De-
mocracy.
We learn from the Lecompton Ma
hienal Democrat thaf large and har-
monious meeting of the leading Dem
ocrats of Kansas was held at Lecomp-
ton on the goth Of October to consider
the action Of Governor Walker relative
to the Oxford I'd McGee election
frauds. The we'll known Col. Ely
None, the eloquent champion Of the
working man in Congress many years
ago was chosen chairman, the Hon.
Rush Elmore Of Alabama, Gen Brindle
of Penn, R. B. Nelson of Virginia,
Hon. John spicer Of N. c., Jas. Chris
tian Of ILL.,, r. c. Bishop Of Va, and
A. w. Jones of Va, we're elected Vice
Presidents. Strong resolutions were
passed denouncing the action Of a self
constituted committee, which lately as
sumed to speak the voice Of the party
and Gov Walker; endorsing the
rejection l.y Gov. Walker Of the fraud
ulent returns from johnson and McGee
counties acknowledging the indebted
ness Of the people of Kansas to Presi-
dent Buchanan "for the selection of a
Governor and Secretary for Kansas who
have capacity to understand, and the
high moral courage necessary to defend
the rights of the citizens" and calling
on Congress to inquire by whom the
fictitious returns purporting to come
from McGee and Johnson counties
were made, that the offenders may be
brought to JUSTICE
Thus is Gov. Walker sustained by
the voice of the Democratic party in
Kansas, and now let the Washington
correspondents cease their silly fabri-
cations.
Daily Iowa State Democrat. [volume] (Davenport, Iowa) 1856-1859, 1857-11-12

The Washington correspondent OF
the New York press with the usual
sagacity and truthfulness are full Of
bar-room gossip concerning the ad-
ministrstion and the cause Of Gov.
Walker in Kansas. 1t will be remcm-
bcred that on the eve Of the New
York election q Geographic dispatch
purporting to be "by authority" an
nounced that Gov. Walker was to be
removed, because Of his rejection Of
the fictitious Oxford returns. That
was Black Republican faIschood, cut
out the whole cloth, with the design
Of affecting the N. Y. election, and
saving the Black Republicans from the
defeat which awaited them. Mr.. Blu
chanan, on learning the dodge"
Of the enemy, Immediately telcgraphed
TO the Hon. Dan Sicklcs that there was
not the least truth in the rumor q
Walkers removal, and thereby block
ed the Black Republican game. But
the troup Of sour own correspondence
will continue prophecy, though they
have now relinquished the idea that
Walker is TO be removed, and content
themselves with the announcement
that he is to be reprimanded! We
venture to say that there is not the
least ground for all these Vaccinations;
that the disappropation Of the president
10 the mere creation Of scribblcr's
imagination, and that Governor Wal
ker will be neither removed nor repri-
manded by the Executive, nor rejected
by the Senate. lie will undoubtedly
be opposed by Jefferson Davis, and the
Black Republicans in the Senate, but
he will be sustained by the Democrat
&c party. 1t is quite refreshing to see
20 many new Walker organs springing
up all over the country. Even our
prosy old neighbor of the Gazette takes
back all the dirty trash it has heapcd
upon Walker in the last four months
and now declares that ''to supper,
Gov. Walker is to be just and right
Only few days ago when the news o.
the Governors rejection of the Oxforc
fraud arrived, the Gazette scolded Al
Walker like fisherman, and ascribe,
that rejection to the very worst of mo
tives. The only reason Walker i
lauded now is because he is suppose,
TO be hostile to the administration.
When it is ascertained that there j
the most perfect entente cordiale be
tween Mr.. Buchanan and Gov. Wake
these Black Republican organs will
retract their cncomiums and beci,
anew their denunciations.

In another column of to-day's North West
VIII be found short speech recently de-
nvered by the Mayor ct Davenport, Gen.
Gro. Is. SARGENT, before the Boston Board
q Trade which sets forth the present con.
dition OF Iowa, her advantages and resour
ces, and her wealth more learIy than has
yet been dcne. And We will take occasion
TO thank Gen. SARGENT for his manly and
frank exposition, to the men of Boston. of
the position and condition of the West. and
Its close relati ms to the East.
A few such exhibitions Of our Western
men IN Eastern marts would do as much or
more towards re establishing confidence be-
tween the two great sections of the country
The East and West-than all other efforts
combined We believe that it is only nee
essary for the great capitalists Of the East.
Sho hate money, to lecome posted up on the
existing state Of things in the West, and its
reiiabiiity under more confidential state
OF affairs, to induce them to open their cot
fers, and send out their capital for invest
ment
The speech Of Gen. SARGENT is well wor
thy ofthe perusal of our readers.
The above tribute to our worthy
mayor and the cause in which he is
labor'ng, we copy from the Dubuque
North West, and we sincerely trust the
sentiment therein contained, may not
be disregarded by Eastern capitalists,
nor men of influence within the limits
Of the flourishing state of Iowa.
That confidence between cast and
west may again be established, it be-
hooves our men Of influence to set
forth to capitalists of the east, the
magnitude of western resources, and
what the west is ready and willing to
do in regard to cancelling eastern de-
mands, and securing the aid Of monied
men in eastern cities hereafter. Let
the east be shorn of her crude ideas re-
lating to western affairs let such men
~ Gen. Sargent 60 into their business
circles and point out to them the ef-
Iects OF western enterprise, the results
OF our last four years labor; the inevi-
table results Of the future keep them
thoroughly posted in this-and we
fear not that the requisite funds re-
quired from the east will pour in upon
10 in continued streams. Capital;sts
will come here aud invest their funds
mot only in purchasing our commodi-
ties, but in making important improve
ments in our midst-erecting build

FouR OF THE CAUSES OF CRlxE.-In the
report Of the Prison Association Of New
York, published last March, We find the
leading causes Of crime reduced to ten.
Four of the causes, it will be seen, have
led IN this country to wide spread mis-
cry, BY no means confined to prison
walls:
Extravaganza, falee show, fast hors-
es, as when the expenditure is beyond
the income, whether in high or low life.
'Want Of domestic and eocisl FIRE side
enjoyments, and of oementing oneness
between husbands and wives.
Late hours, lax business habits, close
shaving 10 commerce, near spproxims-
ton to the false balance deception and
Misrepresentation.
'Tbe great want OF moral culture and
training, To this cause especially may
be traced large portion of crime.'

Letter from Gen. Walker to the Secreta-
ry OF State.

Letter from Gen. Walker to the Secreta-
~ Of State.
The following is letter addressed by
Gen. Walker to the Secretary of State, dated
Sept. 2eth, 1857
SIR: II is currently reported that the
Ministers Of Costa Rica and Guatemala, have
asked for the active interposition of the
United States. for the purpose Of preventing
me and my companions from returning to
Nicaragua. This request it is further said
is based on the assumption that have vio-
lated or intend to violate the net trality laws
Of the United States.
The want of all official intercourse be-
tween the government Of the United States
and that of Nicaragua, will, hope, be a
sufficient excuse for my addressing you, on
the faith of public report, but the runner
comes in such form that am satisfied the
ministers Of Guatemala and Costa RIGA have
attempted to dishonor the Republic of Nj
caragua in the eyes Of the United States,
and am further convinced Of this fact by
decree of President Mora, dated at San Jose
on the 18th August last, and ordered to be
communicated to the diplomatic corps gen.
orally.
The Ministers Of Costa RIGA and Guatema-
Ia attempt to humiliate Nicaragua, by pre-
senting themselves to the United States as
her protectors and guardians in behalf of
the republic Of which claim to be the
rightful and lawful executive, and protest
earnestly against this assumption, on that
part of the Costa RIGA and Guat -mala and
ask that the Government of the United
States will not permit itself to be influenced
by such pretensions on the part of these Cen
trail American powers on the contrary it is
to be hoped that the United States will by
its conduct, assert and vindcate the hide
pendence Of sister republic, the sovereign
State of Nicaragua. 1t is my duty further,
to say that the people of Nicaragua have not
consented to the military authority at pres
ent exercised over them by the agents OF
Costa Rica and Guatemala, and that they,
therefore, cannot be held responsible for any
interference of these latter States
desire to relieve Nicaragua from any
responsibility for such officious informed
ding. So far as any violation on my part
is concerned, deny the charge with scorn
and indignation. Having been received in
the United States, when forced for time
to leave Nicaragua, Ihave in all respect.
been obedient to the laws, and permit me
to assure you that shall not SO far forge,
my duty as an officer of Nicaragua as tt
violate the laws of the United States, while
enjoying the rights Of hospitality within it.
