TO Governor Walker, and resi- lived not to
give the people the control Of their own af.
fairs. Ii made the Oxford fraud the basis Of
its apport,onment Of representatives, giving
preponderance 10 the counties on the Missouri
border. The President Of the convention
hurried on the election in ,nid-winter. when
the people could not well go to the polls.
Thus, again, they were disfranchised.
The people saw and felt this fraud, and
called on him (Mr. Stanton) to summon an
extra session Of the Legislature TO protect
them against the wrongs contemplated by the
constitution. Had he not complied. there
would have been collision and bloodshed.
The result has shown that the apprehensions
of the people we're we'll founded. Enormous
frauds have been again perpetrated at the
precincts OF Oxford, Shawnee, and kickapoo.
The President had no right to interfere
with the discretion given by the organic act
TO the Governor to call an extra session.
The result Of this extra session IS. that the
real will Of the people IN regard to the lie.
compton constitution is fully known. This
affords the Democratic party an opportunity
to defend the true principles OF constitu-
tional liberty, and to save itself from disas-
truus divisions and 0yerthrow.
lfCongress will heed the voice Of the peo.
pie and not force upon them government
which they have rejected by vote Of tour e
one, the whole country will be satisfied. and
Kansas will quietly settle her own affairs
without the least difficulty and without any
danger to the Confederacy. The southern
States. which are supposed to have deeT

Mr.. Stanton concludes with an appeal Z
the deliberate judgment Of the people to de
terinine whether he has not chosen the onll
houorable course which the circumstances
allowed him to pursue.

GAMBLING IN DISGUISE.

with regard TO what are called "Glft Enters

they are among the meanest. because they
are among the most masked and sly Of ell

The excitement Of the affair is in the risk
in the chance of getting trinket worth more
than the volume bought. This is the princl-
pie upon which the lottery is conducted-the
principle of the roulette table. Of all forms
of gambling. The adventurer risks his
money in the hope Of getting more than an
equivalent for his hazard. The trinkei

an the part OF the dealer. His books are
worth 50 much. and his whole stock Of prizes
so much, and the prices for which the books
are sold will cover all the expenses OF the
.'giits," even when they happen, now aud
then, to be worth more than the cost of the

said about Walkers right Of citizenship IN
that country, and the propriety Of his goingsto
Nicaragua to claim his rights as a citizen
and officer, we give an extract ON that sub

Cass. He says:
/" Walker never was, nor can he ever br,
President of Nicaragua, or citizen OF that
republic, from the time that he was declared
TO be traitor To IL; nor can any men that

name, fail to be received and treated 10 any
either manner than that due TO bandits and
pirates, by whafeuer name they may be known,
or from whatever quarter they may come.

documents from the true ereciiue power.
