Walker evi- dently thought of little else but preserving the Consistency of his ‘ record” in the adminis- tration of his trust in Kansas. Subsequently he haz carried the ridiculous idea thatone must be governed by like considerations in all possi- ble combinations of circumstances. to the points of absurdity evinced in his recent resignation manifesto. wherein he virtually proclaims a predilection for the existence of civil war and other calamities dire, as a preferable alterna- tive for aught in his conduct that might possi- sibly savor of inconsistency on his part. While he has in that way arrived at the point of strengthening the hands of the ad- versaries of the Democratic party, with all his might and main. his co-laborer in that work, Senator Douglas, bas reached it by a very different road. indeed—by utterly and flagrantly scouting bis “ record.”’ Senator Green, in his late so able speech exhibited him as scouting his own Congressional record, covering the entire period of bis services in the National Legislature wherever he had Ceeasion to vote or speak on points wherein were involved questions identical. or even akin, to those involved in the question of the admis- sion of Kansas on the Lecompton Constitution. Some of ourcotemporaries are already fish- ing up from his voluminous record, made out of Congress, treasures. in the way of showing that though apparently aiming to go precisely where Governor Walker is going so fast.he pre- fers to travel a different road to that end—any other than by the way of his ‘record.’ We quote from a speech delivered by him in Chi- cago, early in Jane last, and published in the Chicago Times of the 16th of that month, the following excerpt, showing when taken in con- nection with Senator Green's oxposition of hia congressional inconsistency, that he is almost as badly bitten with a desire to be inconsistent, as Gov. Walker to be consistent. “Upon the Kansas question he had little to say. His opinions on that question were we!l known, and he bad nothing to add, except that pean pore experience and reflection had con- fin bim in the correctness of the judgment he had so often advanced in the Senate and before the pee “* He spoke of the fairness and the justice of the law, hey Be People an opportunity of express ing their honest convictions on the subject of slavery in a constitutional manner, by means ofa constitutional convention soon to meet, to decide twat and all other important matters connected with the future of the new State of Kansas. The people of that beautiful Territory would soon speak [in the election of delegates to the conven- tion —Ep ] We would soon have. he had no doubt. a free and quiet expression of opinion, by means of the elective franchise, from that silent but most certain weapon of a free ople—the ballot-box. Should the enemies of that mode of settling the much-vexed question of slavery in that Territory blindly and obstinately refuse to exercise the rights assured them by the laws of Congress, upou their heads. and theirs alone.will reat the responsibility. For his part, he was sat- isfied the Democratic party in Congress had done their duty, and he was equally well satistied that the Democratic party in the Territory of Kansas Would do theirs in a manner xratifving to the heart of every friend of the Constitution and the Union.” For our part, we can only interpret the fact that these two distinguished gentlemen travel such signally different roads to the same point, to the probability that there is « sort of riv aly between them as to which sball get there first —a sort of ** devil-take-the-hindmost™ rivalry. Tue Resronse—We have searched our Northern exchanges for a fortnight past, with eare, in order to note the effect of the positions assumed by Senator Douglas and the argumen- tation of bis late speech upon the y of the region to which it was especially ad- dressed. The result of our investigation is, that we have not seen a line in approbation of bis course in any nominal Democratic journal that had not previously gone off with Messrs. Stanton and Walker. This is positively true. So far as the effect of his speech on the North- ern Democratic popular mind iz concerned. therefure, the reader may rest assured —if the tone of the Northern Democratic press be a eriterion on which one may safely venture to form an opinion—the speech of Senator Doug- Jas has fallen powerless On the other hand, the Republican party press can publish just now concerning little else. Their editorial and news columns are devoted almost entirely to praises of his effort, anecdotes of his sayings, and prognosti of bis future course. all of which go to show that he is to Leeome a very great prophet in- deed. in ther Israel. All this is in excellont keeping with the fact that the Republican members of Congress have already subscribed for one hundred thousand copies of his speech, while be almost alone of the Democrats of either House have concluded to give it circula- tion and uotoriety under the wember’s frank. These facts are significant— they bear out. forci- bly, our repeatedly expressed opinions that its only effect on the political future of the country will be to strengthen the cause of the dire foes of the Demoeratic party— and that such is the opinion of the almost unanimous true Democ- racy of the North As for the South, we are Very sure that not a single newspaper in that section of either party has expressed approba- tion of its positions—not one. Tne Orerations AGaixst tar Froutpa Ixptaxs —The War Department have advices from Fort Brooke to the 6th instant, from Col. Loomis. fifth infantry, (who is in command in Florida.) giving a detailed account of the re- cent operations of the army against the Semi- noles, embracing a full history of the expedi- tion of Captain Cone’s regiment of mounted volunteers.
