OPInoN OF A MnBER.-A member Of the Con-
stitutional Convention in Kansas, writes as fol-
lows to the Richmond South:
"Let me tell you, sir, as . member of the
Constitutional Convention, memberof the last
Legislature, one Of the Committee that reported
the present Democratic platform, upsn which we
act, and as invariably member Of all the polit-
ical Conventions held in Kansas, that the mem
bers of the Constitutional Convention are all
right. If had to select from the whole South,
/ do not know that could improve upon them.

strenuously opposed to reference, and you may
be assured that whatever we DO will be done d.

The New Governor Of Kansas.


More than usual importance attaches to the
appointments of Mr.. Robert J. Walker, as Gov
ernor of Kansas. In the troubled condition of
that Territory, the appointment of new Gov
ernor, would be an event of moment, independ-
entity of personal considerations affecting the
man chosen. But the chief significance of this
appointment arises out of the rank of Robert
J. Walker in American politics. He has filed,
and may again gil Cabinet Office. To accept
the Governorship Of Territory, appears to be
aspiring to ascend. It may be taken for granted
that Mr.. Walker was induced to accept the post
by the conyiction--a conviction shared by the
President-that, in the present conjuncture of
affairs, the Governorship of Kansas waz the post
of honor and the post of danger. Wehave rea
son TO believe that he selected some time before
the Inauguration, and that the selection was a
fortunate one, as it meets the unanimous appro-
val of the chiefs Of the Presidential party, while
il gives pretty good satisfaction to their oppo-
nsnts. Under the circumstances, We have thought
that brief sketch and portrait Of Mr.. Walker
would be Of interest at the present moment
Abroad, and especially in England, Mr.. Walk
er is, perhaps, the most advantageously known
Of all contemporary American statesmen. He
owes this distinction chiefly to the elaborate
Treasury Reports which he gave to the world
during his term as Mr.. Folks Secretary of the
Treasury. These have been collected by the
British cornment, and republished ip 2 vol
ume, ct the public expense, for the isAEuction
and guidance Of British economists. They are

THE POOR VOTERS SONG.

They knew that was poor,
And they thought that was base;
They thought would endure
To Be covered with disgIsee-
They thought me Of their tribe.
Who on filthy lucre dOst;
60 they offered me . bnbs
For my vote, boys, my vote!
o, shame upon my betterI,
Who would my conscience buyl
But III not wear their fetters,
Not I, indeed, not T.
My vote! Il is not NINE,
To do with As viii;
Ts cast like pearls to swine,
To these walIOwers in in.
Il is my counfTy's due,
And III give it while I can,
To the honest and the true,
Like a man, ike man!
o, shame upon my betteTs,
Who wOOld nv conscience buy!
But III not wear their letters,
Not !, indeed, not l!
No, no, III hold my vote
As treasure and a truSt;
My dishonor none shall quote,
When I'm mingled with the dust;
And my children, when I'm gone,
Shall Be strengthened BY the thought,
That their father was not one,
To be bought, to be bOughtl
o, shame upon my betiers,
Who would my sOnsciencs boy!
But IN not wear their fstteB,

Important Correspondence Between
Professor silliman and Other Citi-
Gems Of Connecticut with President
Buchanan.
To His EzeeEIeny james BuekGnEn, President
Of the United States:
The undersigned, citizens Of the United States,
and electors Of the State Of Co1Hsetieut, respect
fully offer to your EzeelIeney, this, their Memo
rial:
The fundamental principle Of the Constitution
of the United States, and Of our political insti-
tutions is, that the people shall make their oscR
Ious and eIeet their oscn ruIers.
We see with grief if not with astOnishment,
that Governor Walker of Kansas, openly repre-
sents and proclaims that the President of the
United States is employing, through him, an ar
my. one purpose Of which is to force the people Of
KansSs to obey IaiDs not tks, OsR nor Of The Uni
ted States, but laws which It Is notorious, and ss
tablished upon evidence, they never made, and
rulers they never elected.
We represent, therefore, that BY the foregoing
your Excellency is openly held up and proclaim
ed. to the great derogatiOn of our national char
acter, as violating in its most essential particu
lar, the solemn Odtk which the President has Ia
ken 70 support the Contribution Of the Unien.
We call attention further to the fact that your
Excellency is, in ike manner, held up to this
nation, to all mankind, and to all posterity, in
the attitude Of lspyins sOar against IA portion
of tie United States," by employing arms in
Kansas to uphold body Of men, and a code or
enactments purPOrting to be legislative, but
which never had the election, nor sanction, nor
consent Of the people of the Territory.
We earnestly represent to your EIeellency,
that we have also taken the oath to obey the
Constitution, and your Ereslleney may be assu-
red that we shallnos refrain from the prayer that
Almighty God will make your Administration
an example Of justice and bene6cenee, and His
terrible Majesty protect OR people snd eur Con-
stifMfioa.

TURNS or FORTUNE.

A muu, bare of cash and deserted by hope, rs
To end all his woes, had recourse to a rope
But while he was fixing the halter, he found
A hoard Of rich treasure concealed in the
ground.
New plans he perceived in his bosom TO rise,
The halter he droped, and made off with his
prize.
The miser, when scarcely the other had gone,
Came to search for the treasure, but found
there none.
So the wretch, after standing Somo moments
nghust,
Put his neck in the halter, and soon breuthed
his last.
