1000. We believe, from what we know
of the people there, they will do it. They
can do it, and ought not TO be content I'M
til the thing is accomplished, for so jealous,
widc-awake and consistent journal as the
Republican is, should have an extensive cir
culation.- H1estrWe Herald.
We thank the Herald for its compli-

to stick" The Herald is always a well
come vistant to our sanctWn, and among
the first that is opened after its arrival
We are glad to hear that it is well sustain
ell by the intelligent citizens of Laporte
county.

Esy- Sure-enough and rather uncxpcct-
edly, the little Democrat published the
whole Of Gov Walkers letter last week,
for which it is certainly entitled to credit;
for it must certainly have been with con-
siderable reluctance that the editor admit
ted such a scathing rcbuke of old Buck AMI
his wing of the party as it is. We may,
however, be mistaken in regard to this
conjecture From the following extract
from the leader In the last number of that
sheet, it would seem that the editor does
not entertain a very high opinion of old
Buck:
walker was sent to Kansas at the most
critical iuncture in the history of that dis
tracted country He went, determined to
carry out to the fullest extent, the princi-
pies of popular sovereignty, to which he
stood fully committed, both by private
faith and the instructions of the Admins
tration. His policy, then, showed how
firmly he adhered to this purpose. Tile re-
silt ~as QUIET acos :oiren to tie people,
and an impending GIRL scar aoerted
"But this state of things was destined TO
be short lived The Calhoun-convention
is called and the measures of that body
are diometri ally opposed to the policy of
Walker. In this emergency, he appeals to
the President; but finding little to hope for
from this source, his only alternative was
to resign"
Now you begin to talk tight. That is
just what the Republican press has said all
the time, that the people of Kansas had
''ltae to hope for from" old Buck; that if
Walker administered any thing like equal
and exact justice to all parties in Kansas,
he would fall under the displeasure of the
Administration and be removed. 1t has
terminated Just as the Republicans predict
ed, and the editor of the little Democrat in
admitting that Walker by his course res
tored quiet in Kansas, proves incontestibly
that that state of things coald have been
produced ut any time had the President and
his party been disposed to deal out any
thing like even handed justice. 1t is a
proud event in the history Of the Republi-
can party that justification from the false
charges made against it has at last been eX-
torted from political opponent. Let tiHil
tongue be palsicd then that hereafter at
tributes the troubles in Kansas to the Free
State men there. Let the responsibility
rest with the President and his wing of the
Democracy, where, Senator Brodericl. if
not the editor of the little Democrat, saws
it rightfully belongs.
But how does the above extract Jingle
with the following taken from the same ar
ticle:
Truly, an evil genius seems to preside
over Kansas; if says the Louisville
Courier, the doctrine of total depravity
could be applied to countries, Kansas would
be reckoned among the irrctrievably LOST
when we had almost hoped that she was
lifted up out of the dust and ashes her
waste places made glad, and her wilder
ness to bloom and blossom as the rose we
see her sink suddenly back into new and
III ore threatening troubles
".SiM back. indeed 7Hromn back you
should have said, Mr.. Hobbledehoy, for
certainly no mature man would have made
use of such Il word in the sense you have,
after making the above admissions. He
!, says in the first place that Gov. Walker,
by assuring the people of Kansas that they
should have fair chance to vote on the
Constitution the Lecompton Convention
might frame, established ''qaiet",; thereby
admitting that justice was all that was me-
cessary to satisfy the people of that terri
tory; but, before his words had time to
cool, contradicts himself By insulating
that the people are to blame fox the troubles
at present prevailing there! We know not
how such inconsistency may appear in the
estimation of graduate of Ann Arbor
College and also Of the Michigan Bar,"
but to us, who have only been able to ma
circulate in the great school of nature,
where some regard is paid to common
sense, it seems decidedly contemptibc
