Ov7VALKKW ASD THE mESIDEMT, Officii Statement of the Affair-Another Letter From lit Gov. Walker. Washington, lynday, Apl 20-To the Editors of the Nutional Intelligencer rrviiF.M".': Avery inaccurate stntcmeut of 'v' testimony before tho Covode lovesli-cMin" Committee Congrces has been pub. JicJ in the New-York papers. and li ng os moy have i differed on political qiiastioni, I have faith tht 500 will he wiiliiiR to do wejtiMice by a trathfui pub-licatioo of the fucts of tho case.

1 ond you a correct statement or my evidence -before the Committee also a copy of letter of 28th Jooe, 1857, to Mr. Bucban-an and to which bis of July 12th was a reply. Accompanvingtbis is my statement to the Committee as regards this letter, to produce which 1 reserved my right. I submit the whole to an impartial public with this comment only That the correspondence proves that Mr. Buchanan and myself concurred id tire Spring of 1857 in the con-struotion of the Kansas and Nebraska act, that it required the submission of the Constitution to the Voto of tho people of Kansas.

To that construction of that act, which Mr. Buchanan and myself were both sworn to support, I adhered and therefore considered the refusal of tbo Convention to submit the Constitution to the vote of tho people as a clear violation of the Kansas and Nebraska net and therefore, under its distinct provi-sioM, null and void. I was sworn to sup-port thnt law, and so was Mr. Buchanan. I did support it, and therefore opposed the withholding of the Constitution from the vote or the people.

It is quite clear, as was the opinion of Mr. Buchanan and myself, that the Kansas and Nebraska act requirod the sub-mission of tho Constitution to tho vote of the pople; and any action in Kansas repugnant to that act was, under its provisions null and void. So 1 regarded 6uch action, and therefore ft was my duty to oppose it. But there were other reasons. 1 ho programme finally adopted did not, as pretended submit even the Slavery question to the vote of the people; nay, it deliberately, and will-fully, and fraudulently withheld that quostion from their vot'o.

Tbo only question suWnit-ted was, "For the Constitution with Slavery" "For the Constitution without Slavery;" thus excluding by a deliberate fraud from this vote all, constituting an overwhelming mnjor-ity, who were opposed to the Constitution. And this was the vory reason given to me by Calhoun, the President or the Convention, why this peculiar language was selected. It was a wretched device of fraud and villainy. I you a copy, preserved in the hand-w riting of my Secretory, of my letter of the 28th June, 1857, to which Mr. Buchanans was a reply.

That letter, disclosing my in-most thoughts, and never intended to meet the public eye, will show bow false has been tho statement that my action in Kansas was hostile to the South. It was all in their ruvor, to the extent of the just and honest exercise of my power in Kansas. I believed, and so announced then my anxious desire, to the execution of which my life has been devo- led. to preserve the "equilibrium or the laoy- eminent. I indorsed lully the Dred Scott 1 decision, and especially that portion of it (always maintained by me) that the truo period when the people can -abolish bravery id a Territory is when they perform tnelirst act of sovereignty in forming a State Constitution.

1 maintained this doctrine in an. elaborate argument, published over my Bigua. Hire in Juue, 1850, from which 1 have never departed. I consider mysoir, gentlemen, as much withdrawn from politics as if 1 had coused to exist, and now only ask the privilege of vin-dicating myself and the truth of history. Yours, truly, It.

J. Walker. THE FHESIDKST'S ORGAN OV. TESTIMONY. From the Constitution of Saturday.

For the present, we pass without comment the testimony ofilon.lt. J. Walker, which has been so conspicuously heralded to tho world. Instead of answers to any inter-fi gntory, it seecis to bo a carefully-prepared uccounl of his stewardship us Uovetnor of Kansas. lie says the President favored the snbrnis-eion of 'the Constitution of Kansas to the people, and so he did.

That is fully admitted. This has never been denied. But he snys further, that during the progress of the Lc. co'iipton Convention ho was advised by Mr. Calhoun, the President, that the plan Coolly adopted, which Mr.

Walker, Considers a great departure from the doctrine of submi3-won, was suggested and upproced by the President. Tho statement of Mr. Calhoun be did not believe, lie ucquits the Frcsideot of all knowledge of the programme adopted, and then he uses this exact lauguage is aisodue to frankness to further say ininreosGil with the conviction tout that tho President himself did not gel up this pri'gramnu, luougn i ao ueiteve qottcn up by of the Administration, or in nnthfiritv." Uluuie utj," At this time tho propriety or impropriety care to deal. Who got it up, or whotber it nnnnrHnnon with Mr. walker's or tbo wua ii l'rosident's idan is not put lu issue.

But when Mr. Walker says "it was gotten np by some of tho Administration," he must mean nil tbo world will understand him to mean, v- tnnmhnr fif the Cabinet. Here arises a grave question. If any member of the Cabinet has sought, or tae taken steps, to change the line of action of tbo President in an imporiaui maner oi oium puucj, without the advico knowledge, or consent of President, he has been guilty of an act of infidelity and bad faith which should iuvoko lis severest cenBuro. Indeed such conduct would be diehonqrablo, am, justly nf his confidence.
