- The wiseacre who pre-.
sides over the editorial columns OF the Dis
patch In the last number of that paper, takes
occasion to denounce the Executive of this
Territory, because ip his proclamation fox
the, election for delegate to Congress, he
gave instructions to the Judges of the cleo
ton, as.to the course they should pursue In
the event of their not being satisfied that
persons offering to vote were residents Of
| the territory. 'I
He complains that in his proclamation
&C., the Governor had "shown himself hos
| tile to the settlers of Kansas-tfTon .hissou-
W. ,,ror, ~ Ill
that Gov. Reeder was sent here to guard
the interests ofthe= settlers from Missouri,
more than those coming. from any other
state. We did not know before that 'they
constitute the best citizens Of tie territory"
that they are more industrious, enterprising,
| liberal, Intelligent or orderly, law loving
and law abiding, than persons coming here
| from Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Illinois,
Iowa, or indeed any state of this Union, all
of whom have the same rights upon the soil
of Kansas, that the Dispatch intimates be-
longs to Missouri.
| And who is an actual settler of this ter
ritory! Is it he who comes here, marks
out claim, puts up cabin and returns to
his home In one Of the states, with the in
tention of returning at some time-next
month-next year or five years hence, or
Is it not rather the man who comes and re-
mains here, who is of US and with US. Nay
more, does the Governor know that every
man who says he purposes coming here, in
tends doing so, and if if were so, he would
not be citizen until he would get here
Did, the government merely purchase Kan
sas for the benefit of those whom the Dis
patch calls the .'best cit izens," or was it not
intended that all who wished to might come.
| We are of opinion that sach was the inten-
ton of Congress when it organized this ter
ritory, but probably this wiseacre has created
new order Of ofthings.-That articles such as
this have tendency to prejudice the inter-
ests of the south, there can be but little
doubt, and the insinuation that Gov. Reeder
is Ieagued with abolitionists and only defers
calling the Legislature until ''next summer
after all the northern states have poured
their hordes of paupers into tbe territory"
does not bespeak the high toned southern
gentlemen, but rather the vindictiye spirit
which eharacterizes the Police Gazette PEN
ny a liner, who fails to extort black mail
from one whom he has threatened to victim
ize. All the shafts hurled at Gov. Reeder
will fall harmless to the ground His whole
life private and political gives the falsehood
He is emphatisally National Democrat,
and feeling as he no doubt does, conscious
that his every official act has been for the
best interests of Kansas, feeling and know
ing that majority OF our people approve
of his course, all that the fierce spirits out
of Kansas may say of him, viii not cause
him to ask their advice as to the course. he
should pursue. x-a3
IF the Dispatch man expects, by denoun-
sing northern men to fTighten them, il, by
calling them paupers he thinks to prevent
their settling this fair young Territory, he
.'reckons without his host, and We tell him,
frankly that nine tenths of the men who
will come here from the north, are to say
the least, his equals morally, socially, and
intellectually. The north will send no paw
pers here, but were they even to come, he
would not be called upon to assist in main
taiining them. We are for protecting the
EMissonrians In all their rights, are IN favor
of the execution of the Fugitive Slave Laws
we believe they are fully competent to man
age their own affairs and are opposed to-
our people going into their State and med,
ding with what they have no business to-.
and SO viceversa Let Justice be done
tho, the Heavens fall. . -e,.es..s5~.,-C.'
