Correspondence Courier l. Enc uircr-
The substance of what passed between
Gen. Walker and the President, on
Thursday last, is correctly given in the
telegraphic despatched, with the expec
tinn that the President indie ated pei
icy of mastery inactivity" in respect
TO future proceedings in Kansas The
Convention and its proce >dings are APP
proved, and Mr.. Walkers views are
radically di.sented from, but it appears
that tho Presiden. will not further inter-
pose the power of the army between the
Convention and the people.
= Gov. Walker has earnestly counselled
the Free State men against any violence
for their protection rg inst the imposi-
ton Of sham constitution upon them,
holding that they have safe reliance
upon the justice Of Congress. His pol
icy is to guard against illegal voting by
the Lecomptians, and to protest by
mcmorial addressed to Congress He
thinks that Congress ought to and will
pass an enabling act, under which the
alrcaan clearly expressed will of the
people will be carried out.
In tho meantime. unless the President
removes Gov. Walker, the L,yislatur e
" llimeet and the Territorial government
will 90 on, notwithstanding the autocrat-
y powers of presid mt Calhoun. 1t is
obvious that the contest will be a lon :,
one. and that the settlement of it will
be deferred until near the end of the
ensuing long session.
Tribune Correspondence The dis
agreement between the President and
Gov. Walker is confirmed most positive
~. All the interviews and friendly in
terventions resulted in no approach to a
compromise, each insisting on his original
position.
Gov. Walker CO, siders the suggestion
made to vote on the slavery cause, and
then refer back the remaing part of the
eonsti tuition, by an act of Congress. as
complaining the question. and aggrav
tn the difficulties. He is in favor OF
Ulhg the issue in tho present form, and
svows the purpose of oppose its accept
snce with all his influence. The President
Il ca ually determined to sustain the cons
titution, rcgrliny it as the mos practi-
I'll mode Of reaching the conclusion.
He will make it a test in the party
The forthcoming message will emphasize
these Opinions. the President being en-
cour,sel h,rsto by: the promise of the
unite support of the South. He will
not rem I'VE Walker. being content with
esnsuring his position. Walker will not
ycsiyl, but will rem lin here TO contest

WARRINGTON, Nov. so.


Tribune ~pondence To dav
the relati, ms between the Prcsiden. and
Gov. Walker have assumed a new aspect,
and while f,ien lly professions are still
;ntcrchangad, it IS understood tn t either
the resignation or the removal of Walker
VIII take pace before the meeting OF
Congress. The former alternative is
now most probable, but the other may
'be accomplished by the action of the
Cabinet tomorrow.
The president iustife- his course in
sls.ain3ug the Convention upon the
ground that its legality had been reco,-
rizel by Congress and himself, and tina;
therefore he is bound to accept It's recent
action as valid, although he you'll have
preferred that the whole Constitution
should have been subm tied to the poo
pie.
The Constitution and schedale which
recently appeared in the Union, were
transmitted here by Gen Calhoun, as
literal transcripts, but authenticated cop
les are daily expected which will be CON
municatcd to Congress with the Prcsi-
dents Message.

A. the Cabine, meeting to day the
Presi lent stated Gov. Walkers posi-
ton on on Kansas af'a rs. The Cabi-
net unanimously united with the Pres
ident in favor OF ustaiEinS the action OF
the Constitutional Convention in resPec;
to the reference OF the constitution 10 the
people, and so condemn Walker. The
door to q reconciliation with Governor
Walkers position is now closed, and a
bitter contest between the two wings OF
the Democracy is unavoidable.
Senator Douglas has been heard from.
As thu author OF the Kansas Nebraska
Act he will take bold ground in support
Of Walker; this the President has not
hitherto believed Douglas holds that
the refusal to subui. the whole Constitu-
ton to the psop.e whe they desire il,
is the clearest reputation of tic doc
trine Of popular sovereignty.
Senator erwin though decided pro
slavery man, is understood to be deter
mined to sustain Walker This is the
universal sentiment from the Free STATE
Democracy as received here.

Of compromise. The G vernon saws he

Congress should promptly pass bill,
