With characteristic dupl,rity, Uov Walker
attempts To disguise his trrnchcry To the Sm,lu
hy M nir"ctn,i"n Of extrr,no rrr,gnnnc. to tho
ljlnck Republican Party. Il is n ,rn6snnten,
trick, aud will only deceive willing dunes, An
tho Abolitioniss love him none ths lcss for Tho
hnrl nnmes which he avishcs upon them In his
inaugural address, so the people of the South
will not nccept "soa sawdsr" In compensation
for the sacrifice of their rights. The New York
Evening Post takes the Governors pickwiclian
pl,illippic with tho best grace In tho world. Wc
quote from the last issue Of that pnper:
ut was necessary, of course for General
Walker, in preparing the Presidents Southern
supporters for an abandonment OF sluvery in
Kansas and for submission to the prevailing sen.
timcnt Of the territory in favor Of Freedom, to
denoumco thesfre State men and all who huye
been instrumental in bringing about such a state
of things, else his address would have looked too
much like a capituaton. The following para
graph, doubtless, was written to quiet any sus-
of his policy might have awakened"
Gov. Walkers duplicity is SO palpable that his
associates do not undertake to conceal it and
yet some Southern journals parade his hypocrti
cal denuncntion of Aboltionism il, proof that he
is playing an honest part. Happily there 'nre
but few such papers in this section. In another
column the reader will find an expression of the
true sentiment of the South. The Raleigh Stan-
ddrd, the entire press of South Carolina, the Au-
gustn COmstit"tiomnlist, tho Mobile Register, the
New Orleans Dclfa, all condemn Gov w aIk kcr's
course in Kansas. The Southern press ia inst
beginning to speak out. Never have we known
the slaveholding States TO be pcrvnlcd by feel.
ing ofsrch bitter resentment and angry fndigna-
tion, rs has been inhamcd by w ulkcr's infamous
conduct.
MIR. Buchanan should heed the distant thun.
der; and if lie deems it of any Importance To at.
tnch the South TO his administration, let him lose
not mon cnt i'll clearing his skirts of his subor-
dnate's treachery-let him be assured that tho
Democracy Of the South will take care of them.
selves and their country. They will own no re.
spons'hility for the loss of Kansas. They will
DC true to their pledges to the people. If the
President be the wise man we think him lc will
not despise this friendly admonitor In any
event, he will give us credit for an amicable dis
position, aud will not repcl our counsel as n mali
cous censure upon his Administration.-South.
