nor was there any one severely hurt although
there were four persons in the house at the

Gov. Reeder Removed:

The axe has at length fallen and the Missouri
mob has triumphed. This was expected, and
the news will surprise nobody. Reedcr might
have remained Governor Of Kansas, if he had
willingly bowed the knee to the Slave Power
and its accursed emissaries. the AtchsoD and
Stringfellow cut-throats. Reeder never main
tanned that Kansas should be q Free State. He
was never willing to go that far. Had he been,
be would now receive more sympathy among
those who are determined to have the rrinci-
pies OF the Missouri Compromise r, established
in that Territory. or forever debar her from
entering the U.ion as State. He only wished
to see the people of the Territory control its d.
tiny instead OF an armed mob from neigh
boring State. Had gang of reckless ruff
fans from Iowa invaded Kansas. taken possess
ion of the ballot boxes, and dec arcd that nc.
former citizen of Missouri or any other Slave
State should be allowed to vote or hold office.
Gov. Reeder wonld have acted toward them
the same as he has acted toward the Missou-
rians. In such an event. he would hare been
retained in Office. and had showercd upon hin
