Governor Walker arrived in the Territory late in May, and it required but short investigation to satisfy him that any idea of making Kansas a slave-State was utterly preposterous.

Had everything else been propitious, climate alone seemed to render it impossible.

But popular sentiment was also overwhelmingly against it; he estimated that the voters were for a free-State more than two to one.

All the efforts of the pro-slavery party to form a slave-State seemed to be finally abandoned.

If he could not make Kansas a slave-State, his next desire was to make her a Democratic State.
