that Walker, himself would prove traitor to tia,
great feature Of the South--h,i although he was a
native of slave State, ,hat his Instructions to hi,
minister in England showed plainly. that his iuten-
ton wOs to arrest the growth and expansion Of the
South, and that his sole object to cn.ayc the pco
pie ON he had goir, profcs,clly, to liberatc.
The Judge showed his position on the Conference
ILL, mud the reason Of his vote on that measure, and
believed that he was acting in accordance with the
true position Of the democratic party. The great
ronts in ms spcc;h wce his views in respect to State
Rights, which were truly conscry atyc as any man
could wish, and at the time as strict and indie
pendent ne any South Carolinian necl Iesirc-his
views ON this question original aud striking md
we believe in accorlance with large ma orlty Of the
{ Democratic party South. We would liked to have
given full report of his spCe;h on this question,
but unavoidable circumstances prevented us from
80 doing. The Judge is emincnily sound and nation
I'll on the slavery question aud rs his views on this
subject have been published elsewhere, we shall say
nothing more in reference to them except this, that
! he is all right on the subject.
llc spoke OF his efforts in behalf of ti,G Western
frontier, and how the frontcrhss received so little
real service from the kind of protection that has
been offered by the Government The Judge be-
iIeYes, MS we do, that mounted volunteers Of Texans
are the only means Of preventing depre laons, and
Of arresting the encroachments Of the Indians.
lie spoke Of the laborious exertions he hal I'M der
gone in regard to mail routes. and showed how he
consulted the interest of his friends at home, in do
ing all in his power to furnish them with proper
mail facilities. He thought that very little was done
TO protect our coast and that nothing would be done
until we had more influence in the eleitoval college
In regard to the overland mail route, he believed
that contractors should have the privilege of cloos-
ing their route, and then we would have nothing to
fear-as the Southern ono is the most eligible-un-
less from theintcrference and influence of Northern
politicians with the contractors lie believe that if
senator Rusk had lived that the great Pacif, Ra il
believed that the general government had the power
build the road As to Arizonia, he hal no hopes
Of m king slave State of it-here would be no Sc
curity for Slaves there, and that slaves are more Va
uabl where they now are. and that they would nat
uray find the proper localities for profit and useful
ness He believed he had been denounced for this
opinion, but that his conscience had always dictated
his course, and that he could not dispense with that
appcndagc, nj the request or instance of Others
lie endorses Gen. Dayis--bolcyrs he has an hon est
heart and brave will-beleycd that he ha been un-
necessarily denounced by some of the Southern press
We have attempted only measre synopsis of the
speech for the want of time TO prepare a full report
We hope in our next issue to be able to give more
detailed account of the Judges effort on this occa-
sion In the absence of the editor, we do not feel
called upon to give any opinion upon the merits of
the speech taken whole, from the fact that some
of the friends Of Judge Reagan have expressed con-
Taicting opinions. ..,ulI
