The Removal Of Reeder.

RON the correspondence that occurred
between Gov. Reeder and the authorities at
washiDgsOn, on his recent departure from
the East 10 resume The discharge of his du.
ties ns Governor Of Kansas Territory, and
the silence that existed in Pennsylvania.
where Governor RS personal friends resi-
ded, it was matter inevitable that his re-
mOval must speedily follow, unless he re-
signed before such an occurrence could take
place. Whether this correspondence con-
tained the true reasons for his removal or
not, il is not now necessary TO inquire. 1t |
is enough TO know that there was not such /
a state of feeling existing between the ap-
pointing power and the appointed, as to Sc.
cure a harmonious action between the two,
That Governor Reeder will have the advan.
tage ora very large amount Of, sympathy,
some realIald some feigued, will mo doubt
be the fact; and we have no DISCUSSES to
make, that we are among those who most
heartily desired to see him triumph over his
bitter, and from what we could learn from

But we saw on his return, and on the
meeting of the Territorial Legislature, that
he must be- bold and wary man 10 main
tain successfully the position he had assum-
ed. We shall bot stop now, to inquire.
whether he was right or wrong his views
of the power Of the Territorial Legislature
to change their place of session, after hav.'
ing organized, at the place appointed BY the
Governor under the act organization the
! act organizing the Territory; thus, we are
inclined to the belief that such power is in
cidental to all Legislatures. But after they
) had done 50, and Gov. Reeder had declared
that act null and void, he should, after thai,
! have treated all their acts as so much waste
Of time He should not have recognized
I them officially, for by SO doing, he recog
: nized their acts as official, and by vetoing
their bills, gave them the opportunity OF
, passing them by two thirds vote.
: In this, we we're clearly of the opinion,
the moment we saw it, that Gov. Reeder
(; was betrayed, and lost the pres.ige Of his
r position. We are now, as we always have
been, in favor of The people passing the laws

it the belief that foul fraud had been com
