TnE KANSAS QUEsrIoN-A SHOT AT Mn. BIT
CHANAN.-The Richmond South, upon hearing Of
the article in the Washington Union approving oil
the Kansas policy of r. j. Walker. let of the fol
lowing. 1t is hot shot, but not very dangerous
perhaps
II Mr. Buchahan shteftains the idea that he can
trae with tho feelings Of the Southern Democracy
and may safely defy their vengeance, he is at lib
erty to undertake the experiment. But it is hard
ly pOSslDle tudJ 80 SaBaClUCS pO1.lCla0 can mis-
take the apologetic tone Of few placemen for the
genuine voice of the Southern people. Though
the Southern members of the Cabinet should in
cline to disparage the spirit of the State-Rights
Democracy, the distinct and emphatic utterance o.
the Georgia and Mississippi Conventions woulC
not allow Of SO fatal an error as to suppose tina
any regard for the integrity of Party, or any at
tachment to an Administration, will compel
silent acquiescence in the Kansas outrage. |
Mr. Buchanan attempts to shield Walker, he vii
only expose his own body to mortal stroke
There is no divinity about the person of a Presi
dent which the Democracy are afraid to violate
The instant the Administration assumes the re

not abandon an Administration which they brought

irresistible and unequivocal evidence Of its treach
cry to the South. They are not governed by m-
pulse, and will demean themselves with the dig
nifty and decorum due to the gravity of the occa.
sion. But woe betide the man that mistakes their
forbearance. Though he be President of the
United States, with servile party at his back
and eighty millions year in his pocket. he can
not stife the voice of the Southern Democracy.
Tho Office of the United States Attorney for thu
Southern District of Ohio has been conferred OF
Mr.. Stanley Matthews, gentleman who used t.

work to be done for slavery in Southern Ohio tbs
no decent Democrat can be depended upon to do
and that work has been confided to a renegad

melancholy OF the moral features of the time, tbs
we find men of talent ashamed of ever havin
been the advocates of human rights and indiI
nantly denying that they over entertained and u
tered opinions that were all but universally hel
and expressed in the North but dozen years agt

1t is not generally supposed here, that Mr.. Ma
