Letter of Hon. R. J. Walker.
Washington, March 26.
My Dear Sir: I have at your request re-
oonoidered my ditersiimtion, as announced
to you, declining your tender of the office of
Governor of the Territory cf Kansas. In
view of the opinion now presented by you,
that the safety of tbe Union may depend up
on the selection of the individual to whom
shall be assigned the task«f setting the dif
ficulties which again surround the Kansas
question, I have concluded that a solemn
sense of duty to my country requires me to
accept this position. I am brought to this
conclusion with an unaffected diffidence in
my own ability, but with a fervent hope
that the same overruling Providence which
has carried my beloved country through so
many perils, will now attend apd direct my
bumble efforts for her welfare, and that my
course will not be prejudged by any portion
of my fellow citizens, in or out of Kansas.
I understand that you, and all your cabi
net cordially concur in tbe opinion express
ed by me, that the actual, bona fide residents
of the Territory r.f Kansas, by a fair and
regular vote.unaffected by fraud or violence,
must be permitted, iu adopting their State
Constitution, to decide for themselves what
shall be their social institutions. This is
tbe great fundamental principle of the act
of Congress organizing that Territory, af
firmed by the Supreme Court of the United
States, and is in accordance with the views
uniformly expressed by me throughout my

islature may provide for the election of a

2d. Another amendment of the Constitu
tion proposed is to bold annual sessions of
the Legislature.
These an both important amendments
and should be discussed by the people before
the election of oor next members to tbe
Legislature.
The amendment proposing to abolish tbe
present Inferior Court and electing a coun
ty judge for each oounty, seems to ua ought
to meet with universal approbation. Our
Inferior Court, as present organized, is cer
tainty of less use, commands less respect,
and does as little good to tbe country as any
tribunal that ever existed Tbe Judges of
that court iu all tbe counties that we know
anything about are high minded, intelligent
men, with very few exceptions, but the very
organization of the court itself wholly de
stroys its efficiency and utility.
As to annual sessions of the Legislature,
we are decidedly in favor ■ of them, an less
they lengthen the time of the sessions and
increase the legislation of the State, which
we think will not be the case, not as
much so as at present. The last session will
never be immediately after a State election,
and the members not having come fresh
from the political field will labor more for
the good of the people than of the party.
As the framers of our Constitution so fix

place in Georgia.

Legislative.
Editor of the Standard :
Permit me, through the columns of
yonr paper, to make a few suggestions
and drop a few thoughts in regard to
candidate maltinc: for the next Legisla
ture of the State of Georgia. The public
mind in Cass connty is very much agita
ted and i? running to a high pitch a:
present, ill regard to some local issues or
issue, which 1 presume is well under
stood, of which I shall sav nothing.
Therefore it becomes the Democratic
party of Cass county to be wise and look
well to the principles and interests of the
party, before going info a nomination,
and centre upon men for tbeir candidates
of ability, firmness and honesty, and who
will watch over the interests and be most
likely to represent the views of the peo
ple of the whole county. One of these
men, I am well satisfied, can be fonnd in
the person of Dr. J. C. Sims. He has
been a citizen of this county for eight
years, and I have been a close observer
of his course; and independent of his tal
ent and high order of usefulness os a physi
cian, he has other qualities, which caused
me tbe more to admire bis public conduct.
Bold, macly and fearless in the discharge of
any duty that is incumbent upon him, he is
actuated by no other motive than his own
sound judgment: neither truckling to the
dictates of a disgusting expediency, nor pan
dering to the groveling tastes of a miserable
demagoguism I therefore honestly hope
and believe that Dr, Sims will get the unan
imous nomination ns one of the candidates
for the representative branch of the next
Legislature of the State of Georgia. He is
known to be a firm and staunch Democrat,
ever willing and ready to do battle for bis
friends when they have engraved indellibly
on tbeir characters tbe time honored name
of Democracy. SEVENTEENTH.
