GOV, WALKERS RESIGNATION.

We have this morning the resignation Of
the Governor Of Kansas. tbs very long,
would make Ave columns of our paper, and
very able, clearly showing that all he has
done and said in Kansas has been in accord
ance with express agreement between him
self and the President before he went to
Kansas, and that il all met with the Presi-
dents approval. until he changed his mind
within the last few weeks. and determined
to sustain the action Of the Lecompton con-
yention, which was directly in opposition to
the course which the Administration had
agreed upon, and to which Gov, Walker had
solemnly and repeatedly pledged himself
and the administration. lie says
These pledges cannot recall or violate
without personal dishonor and the abandon
ment Of fundamental principles. and there
fore it is impossible for me to support what
is called the Lecompton constitution. be-
cause il is not submitted 10 vote Of the
people for ratification or rejection"
This is very severe upon the President
who made the same pledges, and has recall
ed and violated them. and therefore. accord
ing to Walker, not only abandons funda-
mental principles, but has personally dishon'
ored himself. With the exception Of THU
incidental condemnation, Walker Is very
courteous to the President.
Walker says
81 accepted 1.-THE Office Of Governor or
the express condition that should advocate
the submission Of the constitution TO ths
vote Of the people for ratification or rejection
These views were clearly understood by th'
President and all his Cabinet"
He shows that he forwarded TO the Presi
dent all his messages, speeches. &c, u

We copy this above from the Fayetteville Observer,
II may be proper for VS. to observe that the Rev. Dr.

before published series essays which first appeared

urging the practcabiity and usefulness of Central
Railroad" Beaufort represented to be the most
commodous and safe harbar on all the Southern At

through the whole length of the State, and thus con-
meet the interests Of all our citizens, develop our al
most unlimited resources, and raise the character o.

which she would be so well able TO sustain. 1t was
through the influence Of these essays that the meeting
at Mr. Albrights was got up; and the proposition was
made, urging upon the State Legislature to construct
an experimental railroad from Campbelton to the mar
ket house in Fayetteville, that the visitors there might
see its utility and the people thereby be prepared to
enter upon the grea, improvement which the Rev.
Doctor had abored with such earnest and perseverng
