sENAToR BIGLERs SPEECH.

We give in another part of the paper this morn
ing full report of the able and argumentatve speech
recently delivered by Senator Bger at Clarion, Penn
sylvania. To use the language of the Pittsburg
Union, "It Isl clear manly, and conclusive answer
to the positions assumed by Judge Wilmot, and
shows the fanatical and impractcable character OF
the appeal which he is making to the people of
Pennsylvania Whether Wilmot has gained any
thing by inviting Senator Biger into the contest by
his frequent ausions to his political course remains
to be seen. In our humble opinion, he would have
done better to let it alone The efforts Of the repub
hcan candidate to make capital out of the slavery
question in gubernatorial canvass falling life
less He has utterly failed thus far in his course to
produce a solitary demonstration of enthusiasm.
The people of Pennsylvania are mostly practical
thinkers and they regard the single speech of Will
mot as ridiculous attempt to revive an exploded

while the democracy have rallied the number

this fall has good basis for his hopes. The back-rc

GOV. WALKER IN KANSAS.

The arrival Of the Hon. Robert j.
Walker in Kansas has been siynalizcd
by a series of agreeable sociable enter
~tainmcnts, and at Topeka he was hon
orcd by a ball. On the 10th inst. he
was to address a meeting at Big Springs,
and, after visiting Lccompton, sets out
to visit every county i'll the Territory.
At Topeka he made a forcible but con-
ciliatory speech, declaring that unless
the Convention submit the Constitution
to the vote Of all the actual resident sctt-
lcrs in Kansas, and the election be fair
ly anu justly conducted, the Constitu7
ton will be and ought to be rejected by
Congress. lie declared, also, that if
the Constitution was not submitted to
the people, he would join them in all
lawful efforts to repudiate it. \ letter
from Topeka says:
1t is universally admitted here that if
the Governor had not boldly faced The
danger by coming to Topeka, and clear
~ and distinctly rcitcrating his views,
that the constitution should be submit
ted to the whole people, and that they
should decide the matter by their own
vote, the flames of civil war would have
burst out afrcsh over this Territory, and

people i'll that matter, that | am the individual
to blame for the same and not Mr.. smith. The
horse at the time belonged to me, and the pedi-
gree given by Smith was correct, as given by me
to him. And | will further say to any person OF
