SOUTHERN PAPERS ON THE KANSAS
SNARL.

President in his opinion that the Kansas Cunven
tion was bound submit tue slavery clause OF its
Cons titution, any than any other part Of it,
to the people.
The Southern Democracy have demanded from
Mr. Buchanan distinct and emphatic mrnicsta
tou of his disapprOval of the Ubuoxlnus and I'm
warrautable interference of Governor Walker with
the perfect freedom, which was guaranteed to the
people of Kansas 10 the formation OF their State
government. His Message does not contain any
dissvowal or disapprobauon OF the conducto Gov
srnor Walker.
...f From tss Misssappiau. tDemocrst)
The True Soutbrou, in commenting upon our
view of the Message, asseverutes that the Msslss-'
ippian .'has come down" from its position on the
Walker Kansas affair. Our cotemporary viii par
don us for saying that he has worked out his con.
illusions in profoundly unreasonable and illogical
manner; and the extracts which he hay copied
from article, prove it.
So far from retreating from the position we have
taken concerning the President and his course To-
wards Walker, we re.alhrmed them in language
which the True SDuthron itself pronounces 'bpld
and somewhat defiant. We have gone further and
not only complaiuei that the Message contains
neither the OK pressed implied censure of Gov.
Walker nur that emphatic dissent trun his acts.
which. in view OF their enormlty. the ohdntTy hal
a lust right to expect and require'-hut we have
expressed our d,sapproval OF the Presidents theo
ry OF the Kansas bill in several important particu'
lars.

demands that dny particular icsy of taking the
sense of the people shall be pursued? They are
to form and regulate their domestic institutions IN
their own way. The people of Kansas thought!
proper to call II Convention to make their Constr

tion was the people. If they were restricted to
the way intended by the President, then they were
not perfectly free in the matter.
From the yicksburg southron [rireeatcr,I
The only question of any practical value now is
this, lie Mr.. Buchanan responsible for the action
Of his agent. Gov WalkerW
We contend that he was sent to Kansas to do n
special service, and that he had done Il! Alter
connivoing and wInking at his conduct for months,
it is too late now for Mr.. Buchanan to evade the
responsibility by avoiding the real issue. Mr..
Walker opposed and denounced the Lecumpton
Constitution, and if the language of the Message
has any meaning, the President looks with illcan'
cealed favor upon that instrument. In considera'
tion, however, that the clause recognizing slavery
is to be submitted to the vote OF every ragged
rufhan who may chance to be in the Territory when
the vote is taken, Mr.. Buchanan graciously agrees
that the Squatter sovereigns of Kansas may fl it,
political status for all time For one, we object
to any such settlement made by the miserable ldz
droni who sent from tho Northern cities by
the New England Aid Society.
AN ATTEMPT TO ACCOUNT FOR DOUGLASS ELECTION
From the Yicksburg southron.
As pendant to the foregoing, and as afordine
some slight explanation of the unexpected
change in the action of Mr.. Douglas, we may state
that several months since the Illinois Senator dis
posed Of his estate in Mississippi. and having no
longer any tangible interest in the peculiar insu
tution," we presume he thought the occasion
q good to conciliate the Free-S1il ia
nAtcs of the North and Northwest. Having done
this they will no longer call him 'dough face, ,
or taunt him a supple tool Of the Slave power
In future we fancy that the 'lttle giant and hi'
sable name sake Fred, will have no difficulty il
standing on the same platform.
(FrOm the Memphis Eagle, (oppodtion.)
The issue between Senator Douglas and tht
President is not difference about administrative
policy, but purely one of Federalism and Democ
racy Mr. Douglas plants himself upon the broad
plsntform Of popular sovereignty in its most en-
larged Constitutional sense the President, true &c
his Federal predictions, is determined even a
the point of the bayonet, to rob the people of that
right. Watching the nod of his lego Lord ou'
