the President .and bis QnUinet, in whicl
there li^'fdw^Tirththern >nen and threr
Jlorthern men, h*v? endorsed tlio Walkei
ireasou against the South. The official or
g*D, the ministerial journal, hight the Wash
lagton Union, has put forth an elabornto de
fuuco aud justification of Gov. Walker's in
ttftttritl address to the people of Kansas
and rebukes the Democratic State Conven
tions of OeoigiA and Mississippi, as 44 hasty
harsh, and ungracious. In one place, i
says?" we are oonsirnined to think tha
the (Georgia aud Mississippi Democracy hav<
pronounced their judgment rather hastily ; '
and, in another,'in allusion to the action o
those portions of the Democracy of the Un
ivm, ii nacis?" wirn sucn a battle, raging ir
Ilia (Walker's) front, it w?v* harsh and un
gracious to open litis fire on his rear."?
Wo feel no douht that the voice of the two
portions of the Southern Democracy, which
have already spoken, has but given expression
to the general sentiment of both the
Democrat and the Old Lino Whig* of th?
South ; and that the patriots of the South
without distinction of party, will be ungra
cious enough to withdraw their confidence
from both Mr. Buchanan ami the South err
members of his Cabinet, unless speedy and
ample atonement be made for the late betray."!
of Southern Hights and interests.
It is too palpable to admit of question,
that Secretary Stanton and Governor Walker,
either by the instruction or with the
sanction of President Buchanan and hi*
Cabinet, have, grossly, offensively, and dTctatorially,
interfered to render Kansas a
UOR-slftveholdtng Slate,- by either procuring
ibt) adoption of a Or tstiuition, ignoring the
question of slavery, or bv encouraging popular
opposition to a Pro-Slavery Constitution,
and threatening its rejection by Congress,
unless submitted to the people, or
rather to tire acttial residents of Kansas, for
ratification or rejection ; and all this accompanied
with an elaborate argument to showthat
nature has forbidden the domestication
of slavery iu that region. This we hold to
be in direct violation of the great and car
diual principle of the Kansas Nebraska net,
which is non interference with (ho question
of slavery, or, in other words, 4* to leave the
people of KanSas perfectly free in adopting!
a. State Constitution, to decide the question
slavery for themselves." What freedom
ir. left, when the Executive appointees of the
t/ecretaryship and Chief Magistracy of the
Territory, backed by the Executive authority
of the Union, declare to tlio people of
Kan.as that the edict of (ion and Nature
has forbidden the introduction of African
slavery among them ; that it is their inherent,
fundamental, and uunlietable right to
give the final vote on 'ho State Constitution,
which their Convention may adopt,
ntuj that, if that Convention (which, it is
well known, would he a pro-slavery body,)
should dare to violate the inherent, fundamental.
and unalienable light of the people, j
Congress should interpose for its vindicn-j
tiqn, by rejecting the Constitution. What
is litis but Executive dictation of the most
gross, offensive and objectionable character
?and its impropriety becomes only the
more flagrant, when it is considered that the i
dictatorial interference in question is exerted I
in behalf of, or as concession to a party, in j
open contumacy and rebellion against, con- ;
stunted authority. We have not time, at I
present, to review the special pleading of
the Executive and Cabinet organ ; it insufficient
to say that no special pleading, however
skillful, can afford even a decent apolo
gy for such monstrous interference with
popuUr tights and State Rights, and for
such gross betrayal of the confidence of the I
South, by the administration of its choice'
:? rtu?"

Democratic State Convention of Mississippi
j
In the Stale Convention of tTic Democratic
party,' held at Jackson, Mississippi, on
the 23d ultimo, the following; resolution was
introduced hy Mr. George, of Carroll :
R'solveil, That the conduct of the Hon.
Robert J. Walker, Governor of Kansas Territory,
in obtruding his official advice upon
the people thereof, as to the mode in which
they should adopt their Constitution,and declaring
in bis inaugural address that Kan
sas was unfit for slavery, was a violation of
a cherished principle of the Democratic party,
viz : of non-intervention on the subject
of. slavery in the Territories, and deserves
the unqualified condemnation of every Dora
oerat of every section of the country.
A motion to lay this resolution on the ta
hie was lost, and it was then referred to n
select committee, who reported the follow
ing :
The committee to whom was referred tlx
resolution relative to the inaugural add res;
of Gov. Walker to the people of KansaTerritory,
submit the following report:
Wl >erens{ Gov. Walker, in his inaugura
address to the people of Kansas Territory
declared it to l.e hi- " cU?r ?i-.
. . vs/M ? (. IIWII Ilia
unle** the Convention "?called by law t<
form a Constitution for that Territory ?
" submit the Constitution to the vote of al
the nrtM.il settlers r,f Kansas "?at the tinri
of such submission?" it w ill be and ough
to be rejected bv Congress.''
And whereas, the law of Kansas author
itdng the call of said Convention >uul pre
uu'ibjug its duties, makes no provision fo
such snbmission to the settlers of Kansas
nor prohibits Congress from adopting tin
same without such submission.
And whereas, Cov. Walker further sug
gesls that Kansas, bv reason ?.f its geo
graphical position and climate, is unsuitei
to slave labor, thereby gratuitously throw
ing the weight of his judgment and oflficir
position against tire ultimate success of th
pro slavery party.
Therefore, Resolved, .That we regard th
said recommendations, opinions and argti
menlA of (lov. Walker as an unjust and mi
oalhivt t<>< dUctiuiinaiiou against the right
and interests of the pro-slavery party i
w
TMfrTwTi 1 '
f Kansas aud throughout the Union, a die j
tarial intermeddling with the performance I
of* high public duty already entrusted by
law to a convention selected from tbe people
l of Kansas, with which Gpv. Walker had
, no right to interfere, and hia conduct in this
r respect meets the unqualified condemnation
of this Convention.
Tbe report was unanimously adopted.?
The position of the Democracy of Mississippi
upon Walker's Kansas polioy is identical
with that of the Democratic party of this
State. The only difference between the two, .
upon tbe whole subject is that the party in
t' this State, by its resolutions in Convention,
( haaj)resumed that the President will do his
, duty in the premises by recalling Walker.

' There,"but a few months since, delegations
from ten .or twelve States enjoyed the courtesies

ed and counseeled together, as in family cir1
cle, on the dangers that threaten, and the 1
hopes and interests that encourage and 1
1 unite us.
For six .'lavs thpss deliberations lasted,
! embracing in their scope the wide field of
the social life, and institutions of the South,
its education and literary policy, the various
and important ramification* of its industry,
its political rights and necessities, or such
of thern at least as rise higher than the
cunning and too often deceptive platforms '
of parlies and politicians. i
Upon several most important matters so t
lect committees wero appointed to meet in c
j the recess of the Convention, to collet infor

submitted and considered. c
f Looking primarily to the advancement I
and security of the South, the aims of the r<

A Narrow Escape.
The Merchant Mills of Mr. V. McBee, in
this place, narrowly escaped destruction from
lightning, on. Monday evening last. A bolt
of lightning entered a window of the building,
and, in dnrting about in several directions,
doing more or less damage to the
wood-work, caine in coutact with the smut
machine, in which had beet) stowed a keg
of powder ; but fortunately the powder did
not ignite. After performing several strange
freaks at this point, it made its escape from
the building. Two or three persons in the
Mills at the time were seriously stunned by
the shock, and narrowly escaped sudden
death.

Dear Price?Although it is rather a late i
lour to notice the celebration of the Fourth i
n our city, rtill we must say that the anniversary
of our country's independence was i
warmly and enthusiastically welcomed.?
Our people have not forgotten the history i
of the Federal Union. Their lore for the
heroes of the Revolution has not grown
cold ; and God forbid that they should ever
view, with supine indifference, tho return of
a day so eventful?so glorious?in Americaa
annals. Tho display of the military
companies soon in the morning was quite
imposing. They paraded with full ranks,
and marched with that precision and correctness
for which onr Independent Battalion

day, and the city alarm bell rang a merry
peal to awake the citizen* fretn their slumbers
to celebrate the Fourth.
After breakfast, the Marion Street Sabbath
School had quite an interesting exhibition,
in which speeches were delivered, and
an address by the Huperintendant. A
strong choir, supported by a sweet-toned
nielodeon, did the singing.
That celebrated company, the " Invisibles,"
commanded, we believe, by Captain
Kadcliffe, of the Rifles, paraded m the afternoon,
and were reviewed by the governor
of the corps, Capt. Goodwin, of the
blues. To attempt even a description of
the company is impossible. Nothing that
has occurred here in some time afforded
more merriment nnd amusement to the public
than the parade of these same " Invisibles."
To the officers and members of the
m.
i
Invisibles the toanks of the community, and
of many strangers, are due for their eftortr
to feitertaio aud amuse the people.
In relation to the College, it now appear*
that the election of Dr. \Vim*FoonD Smith
and of Mr. MToCAND^Bs/tras only to fill vacant
Professorship* until the meeting of the
Board in November. The act of 1825,. provides
that no vaeaney in the officers of tba
College can be filled, except temporarily, at
any than the stated annual meeting. Mr.
Kivkks, who is President, pro tem., as well
as the Pre. LbCortb, are placed in the
same situation with the two gentlemen
above mentioned. We regret to see that so
much personal feeling has entered into the
discussion carried on throughout the State,
relative to the action of the Board. Both
parlies are becoming more or loss excited
and angry. It is highly probnble, from
what we can learn, tliat a number of Students
will not return in October, nuless tho
Trustees re-COndller tlinir nnlinn ?n<l >???
upon ihe petition and statement of the Junior
Class, which the Board before refused to
notice. And, on the other hand, wo have
lieard it intimated that an effort will be
nade to p? event many of the Students from
cturning?especially those who were acivejy
engaged in the late emeute? if9uch 1t
:an properly bo called. Ia'either case, the
lumber of Students will be perceptibly dininished,
and the Senior Class, now so
unall in number, may bo further reduced.
We notice that the " Times " copied," by
