violence, and bids fair to become an epidemic

whose every action and thought has been de
voted exclusively to their own ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

some hat abruptly made aware Of the fact, by
even at this early day reaping the bitter frOits
which have been produced BY lending toe
credulous oar to the syren voice Of modern de
mocracy The Richmond "South," the organ
of the Virginia southern rights democracy
is excessively bitter at governor Walkers con
duct, and quotes the following article from the
Chicago Times, which it declares to be the or
gan Of the: hon. Stephen A. Douglass to de-
monstrate the feeling entertained BY the demo
cracv of the western States towards the south
and her institutions, and the peculiar views pro-
pagated By the organ Of a man who stands as
the first choice Of a large number Of southern
democrats for president Buchanan successor:
1--WE publish this morning numerous extracts
from governor Walkers inaugural address to
the people of Kansas. 1t is replete with sound
argument, excellent advice, and evinces strong
determination to bring Kansas through her trou-
bles. The new State is about to be formed
Land grants will follow for schools and rail
roads, all of which are far more beneficial to the
people than senseless wrangling about slavery.
We have no doubt but Kansas will have a con-
stitution prohibiting the introduction Of SLAVERY,
and Nth that constitution anil be admitted She
will not owe her freedom to the abolition
lists; Tut to the national democracy-northern and
southern Chicago Daily Times.
Commenting on this precious statement Of
Douglas organ, the South says: 1T is not at
all surprising that the northern democracy
shoald exnlt overt the expulsion of slavery from
Kansas But is it true, as the Chicago Times
alleges, that southern" democracy will con-
tribute to the contamination? Il seems 50 from
the silence of some Of their organs It must
be borne i'm mind that Mr.. Pryor, the editor of
the South, is high priest Of democracy, and
that, as editor ofthe Richmond Enquirer, contri-
buted more than any other man towards elect
ing Wise governor and throwing the vote of Vir-
ginia for Buchanan. Ofall men, he ought to
know whether 'sthe southern democracy will
contribute to the consummation' of ''the ex-
pulsion Of slavery from Kansas and he can
didly admits that, ..a seems sof' sas..e@
Next we find the Mssissppian, the "official"
organ Of Mississippi democracy, edited by
Balksdale, the confidential friend and mouth
piece Of Jeff. Davis, firing up and overrunning
with rage In the number for the Esd ult, it
says:
Enough! Il is thus clearly in damning tes-
timony that all that has been said Of Walkers
tsyesoa affiliations and intrigues before His de-
parture for Kansas, is positively true, and that
lie now stands unveiled before the outraged
south, self conpicted traitor TO her constitution
al rights, and in the detestabe attitude of a
man who has degraded himself from high
eminence in national American craftsmanship
to the position Of a Sumner or a Hale. Nay,
tie comparison is unjust to those distinguished
freesoilers. They are true to their original
liege; they are guiltess of bad faith or tergiv-
ersation. But RI. Walker-the man long a
citizen Of the SOUTH whom Mississippi honored
with place and emolument, trusting him with
her precious destnies even in tile federal SEN
ate--he, dazzled by the goal Of the nations
presidency, percepuble to him only through the
dismal vista of freesoil, has prostituted great
truft, and sold the south that the aims Of an un-
Eriacpled ambition might be subseryed! Even
TO rank with the apostate Fremont, he is IN
worthy. Let him stand alone in the enormity
efhis disgrace. a by-word on every southern lip

So much for another northern democrat with
Southern principles" He has but followed
in the footsteps Of Martin Van Buren,, whom the
Msssissippan strenuously strove to reelect to
the presidency; and who is, Of course, but car

Tie conviction Of all the leading southern demo-
cratic journals, is fraught with such treason to
the south, pray. what do they thak of the ma

of Kansas, and armed him with official author

The Montgomery Advertiser, the leading de-
mocrstic journalin south Alabama, takes even
"a more decided stand, and scorning the muz-
Izle su5mssively worn by the ssoficial organs
of observation-disclosures and their dependents, man
fully demands that the administration shall re-
call Walker and repudiate his acts. This is
clearly what every independent, high minded
southerner should do. The Advertiser says:
III is well for the administration to realise
that the southern heart is stirred to its depths

indignation aroused all over the south.is sincere
