BUCHANAN AND KANSAS.

Senator 1verson, of Georgia, has always been a
strong Democrat. The orthodoxy of his Democracy
will, we presume be questioned by save the sti
pendares and tidewaters of the Administration and
the more respectable even of them will think twice
before they venture to assa it. He s also one of the
very few frank.spoken, bold statesmen, the South
now possesses and while he defends his political
principles with great zeal and ability sinks the
statesman in the demagogue, manifests willing
ness to sacrifice the rights and interests of his section
at the shrine of party. When occasion requires it,
ike true patriot be rises above party and if the
Administration has been guilty of wrong he deals
powerful blows at the Administration. For this he
deserves the respect OF all independent men, which he
no doubt receives.
MOI long ago he delivered great speech at Griffin
Georgia, which was listened to by an immense con-
course OF citizens. Abiding to the manner in which
be considers the South swndled out of Kansas he
observes:
The loss of Kansas to the South was the legitimate
and inevitable fruit of the souatter soyereentv
elements of the Kansas Nebraska bill, as construed
and enforced by its Northern authors and friends
They were enough in themselves to produce that re-
suit, but as part and parcel of the influence and
power of the treesoil sentiment of the Northern
States, the Administration even Of Gen. Pierce gave
way to its bold and impudent demands and mt over
Kansas batch Of treesoil Governors and other Fed
eral officers to warp with official patronage and in
uence the sentiments and political action of the peo
pie. Nebraska was Northern Territory given up
by all parties to free institutions. Kansas was n
Southern Territory, and ought to have been subject
to Southern control but yielding to the pressure of
Northern antisavery hostility, and the strong current
to make Kansas free State-to appease the morbid
appetite Of the Abolition monster, who shook his
bloody fingers at the Presdent-he reversed the nat,
raj and appropriate order of things, and appointed
Southern men Governors Of Nebraska and Northern
men for Kansas. And the present Administration,
though protessing the greatest regard for Southern
rights and the most profound as to the po.
litca fate of Kansas has followed the example of its
" "llnstrous predecessor" and behold the array of
Northern Freesoil Governors over Kansas-Reeder,
Gary Shannon, Walker and Medary all hailing from
the same sectionall of the same materials made and
all consecrated and devoted to the same great end
OF makiHg Kansas free State. And thus Kansas
was lost to the South"
Appointing "Southern men Governors of Ne
nraska," where they were not needed and North
ern men for Kansas" where they, too, were moi
needed was, as is well said reversing the natural
and appropriate order of things" and alone calcula
ted to cheat the South out of the possession of the
only territory to which she aspired
Well, it did have that effect, and was intended te
have that effect. Freesoilism won the day through
the tortnous policy Of the Administration and tb,
Southern people are called upon to endorse the de
| structiye policy of that Administration The domi
