II has been gravely charged in these ends Of
the earth, that we, while editor Of the "Caddo
Gazette" opposed the policy Of the present
National Administration. The factsin the case
4 are simply these: Robert ]. Walker, while
Governor Of Kansas, basely betrayed the rights
Of the South by endeavoringto bring that Ter
ritory into the Union as free State. On re-
ceiving this startling aud unexpected inteli-
gence, We denounced Walker in stringent terms
and will, thousands Of others, South Of Mason
Il Dixon's line, called for his immediate reno
| val from Office as unworthy tile high trust which
had been committed to his official keeping
That we dissented from the policy Of the Ad-
minsiradon in not removing Gov. Walker, we
do not deny. When, however, we came in pos.
8 ssion Of information preventing any imme-
diate action on the part Of President Buchanan,
We no longer visited the sins Of Walker upon
his head. For q time we thought the President
rather inclined to wink at the doctrines Of the
Kansas Governor, but as soon as we discovered
our mistake we frankly acknowledged the same
and have ever since given the Administration
a constant and hearty support. These facts &C

thetical and subject at any moment to proper
correction. In other words, we disscnted from
the Administration provided it sustained the

doctrines taught by Walker l. Co., as stink

under no circumstances whatever will we
sanction or support them. In this connection
we will simply add, that we consider the home
and foreign policy Of President Buchanan as
one Of the soundest and most brilliant we have
ever had. His firm, manly, and Statesmanlikc
opposition to the despicable doctrine of non
intervention ought to cover his name with a
halo of National glory, only equal to that en-
joyed by Washington himself -." a
We clip the following from the columns Of
the Gazette, written and published by us while
its editor. The article speaks for itself:
Gov. RoBERr J. WALkER.-The unexpected
duplicty Of the new Governor of Kansas, Gas

and free people. On subject ofsuch cllarac-
ter there Should DC but one voice lin every
State south Of Mason & Dixon's line) and it
should be loud long and emphatic in condemn
ing all such traitors to the administration Of
justice and equal rights. The legal represen-
talive Of great Government that will conde-
scend to play second fiddle to freesoilism with
view TO bis own elevation should at once be re-
moved from Office, and required (by the people)
TO remain in the shades of an endless oblivion.
Walkers vaulting ambition has ovcrshot the
mark, which will finally leave him nothing but
the singing consciousness Of guilt. We can
not for moment suppose that Gov. Walker has
the least authority to identify (Which he impu-
IDENTIFY does) Mt. Buchanan and his cabinet with
his Infamous and uncaAed for policy. With an
air of complaccncy, impertlnent rs il is false,
he also afdrms that the next Congress will sup
port his cause and will beycnd doubt reject
Kansas from admission into the Union, unless
her citizens conform 10 his views.
This, in our opinion, will prove a base false
hood, and his assertions AZ regards MI. Buchan-
on and his cabinet are jukt as groundl IS. From
present developments we consider Walker to-
tally unworthy Of public confidence or belief,
and we deeply regret TO see the Washington
Union. as well as other important papers Of like
calbre comparatively silent on subject of
such grave and vital Importance to the whole
country. While We are concilatory in our
views and decidedly conservative on oil sub
ccts touching the great interests of the Union.
we do not hesitate for II moment to dcnouncc
any set of me, or measures that have for their
object the injury or destruction of the South.
Just here We will say that the South has nh
lndoubted right to demand the immediate re-
GALL ofWalkcr. Had it not been for her timely
action IN the late Presidential election Mr.. Blu
,hanan could not huve been elected, therefore |
he is at least under obligations to sec that her
rights arc properly guarded and
we'll protected.
