Is lie the Man for the Emergency

If the report be true, that the Admin
istration has determined to sustain the
felon Constitution, Gov. Walker has now
one of those rare opportunities, which
occur to but few men, to inscribe his
name high on the tables of honorable
fame He has pledged himself before
the world, to secure to the citizens of
Kansas a free vote upon any Constitu-
tion which might be framed by the Lee
compton Convention, or turn in with the
people and fight it. A failure to fulfill
this promise will be sach sclf.stultif-
cation az must consign him to a politi-
cal grave, enshrouded in no common in
fanny. But now let him play the part of
a man; let him beard the lion in his den;
lie. him show up the falls. and unworthy
position Of the President and his Cabi
net; let him place himself at the head Of
the people of Kansas, and he will carry
with him enough Northern strength, not
only to overwhclm and annihilatc the
present corrupt Administration, but to
pave the way for the substitution of a
purer and better one in 1860, and Robert
j. Walker at the head of it. This is no
idle fancy. The thing is faseible, If
Walker is only man enough for the emer-
gency. Ii net, he is down, hopelcssly
down--disgraced, irredeemably disgraccd
used up, most dishonorably used up -

But his crlma was next to harmless, com.

some rich man. or it may be a poor man,
or bank or broker, had lost the face OF
the false Gin or note--no more. But
how IS it with the venier of alcoholic
liquors? When, through dragging aud
poisoning his customer he has flched the
last cent from his customer did he leave
him free to go out and retrieve his folly?
All, did he do this, the poor dupe might
congratulate himself in the hope of again
retrieving his lost reputation. But alas!

by the tempting bottle, his blood is poi

bind its occupants hand and foot, and set
your house on fire. And suppose him
then to take his place on some eminence
and exultingly exclaim, "good enough
for him--let him take care of himself"'
Is not this the rum-seller's case, without
cyaggeration?
But there are many who do not sci

But the practical question is, wha

s. s. DANIELS, EDITOR,


We had intended to publish the Pres
ident's message in full, but when it came
to hand it was so long that We could not
ge. it ia this weeks paper, and we con-
cluded to give only a synopsis, which We
find IN the Chie"go papers and we are
inclined to think the synopsis is longer
than most readers will wish it was. As
a State paper it is not what was expected
from President. Mr.. Buchanan
friends cannot claim that it is any better
than Mir,l or fourth rate. 1t contains
nothing new--no new ideas or new sug-
gestions, Ga the holc, it is produe-
ton OF which no statesman would be
proud. The message establishes the fact
beyond doubt, that it is the determina-
ton of the administration to make Kan
sas slave State if it can possibly be
done. The President admits that, accor-
di ~ to the Kansas n ebraska bill, "the
people Of Kansas themselves should de-
eide the question by direct vote" lie
says, son this subject | confess l had
never entertained serious doubt" and
| then pettifogs the question and claims
that slavery is the only domestic institu-
ton Of any Importance to the people of
! Kansas, aud says that "whcther Kansas
/ shall be free or slave State must event
ually, under some authority, be decided
by an election; and the question can new
or be more clearly or distinctly presented
to the people than it is at the presen,
moment"
We have been accused Of abusing the
president, but we submit, in all candor,
that the man who with all the facts be-
fore him viii make the above statement,
and is not entitled to the respect of any
man The president quotes from the
! schedule Of the Kansas Constitution,
that il a majority are in favor Of "Consti.
tuition with no slavery" then "no slave
, ry shall exist in the state Of Kansas, er-
cept that the right 81 property noe an
the territory shaR in no manner be inter
fered ,cjt4;" aud, Us by the slave code
! the children Of slave mothers are slaves,
it follows that slavery will exist in Kan
sas forever, and vt the president tells US
that the question whether Kansas shall
/ De free or slave State is clearly AMI dis
tinctly presen ed to the people of M
gas. If james Buchanan lad the feel
ings Of an honest man he could never
have been driven By his southern masters
. to sink himself SO low as to violate all
principles Of honor and justice, in order
to make Kansas a slave State. 1t now
remains to b. seen whether the great
mass f the democratic party win follow
the PTesid nj in his iniquity, or break
loose from htm and dsuounce him as his
conduct deserves.

RAJ According to call from the
Territorial and State Executive pnmmit
tees Free State Delegate Convention,
assembled in Lawrence, (Kansas) en- tho
I'd inst. There were about $50 Delegates
present. Gov. Chas. Robinson waspres-
ident of the Convention.
The following resolutions were passed,
with preamble setting forth some OF
their grievance: .ttk J. I
Resolved, That We utterly repudiate
said Constitution framed ut i,ccompton,
that it Is an instrum mt hostile to the
popular will, and APP ealing to the God
of Justice aud humanity for the recti-
tude of our intentions, W do. solemnly
enter into league and covenant with
each other that we shall never under
any circumstances permit the said Con-
stitution, so framed and not submitted, to
be the organic law for the State of Kansas,
Lutdo pledge our lives, fortunes, and sac.
red honors in ceasclcas hostility to tho
same.
Resolrctl, That we denounce the so
called election Of December 2lst, as a
swindle, and the election Of January,
1858, as crime and misdemeanol
against the peace Of this Territory and
the will of the majority.
Resolred, That the Legislature elected
in this Territory in October last, is tn,
only legitimate Territorial Legislative
body that has ever existedin the Terrific
ry of Kansa,, and that its functions shal
not be suspended by any Constitution o.
State government until fair and impar
tial vote be had. ......
Rcso1re3, That this Delegate Conven
ton do hereby rc-endorse the Constitn
tion known as the Topeka Constitution
and do declare it to represent the wishes
of the majority Of the people OF kansa
to-day, and that when it shall have agair
received the popular sanction, under au
thorjty ofthe only legitimate Legislature
, ever convened in Kansas Territory. rec
ognized by the authority of the Uuite,
States, that we shall maintain it agaius
all opposition.
Reso'red, That we respectfully memo
rialize the Territorial Legislature, abou
to convene in extra session on the I'll
inst, to frame fair and impartial elec
tion law, and that they, under it, do sub
nit the two constitutions, the Topek
Constitute, n and the Lacompton Consti
tuition, to a vote of the people of the Ter
ritory; and they provide that the consti
tuition which shall receive majority o
all the legal votes, shall go into effec
on said determination of the popula
will, looking chiefly to the above end.

Lest We may be accused Of misreprc.
