Gov. REEDER, THE ADMINISTRATION AND
CosGREss.-Two delegates have been elect
cd to Congress from Kansas, at two separate
eections-onc, Whitfield, by the pro-slavery
pnrty, and the other, Recder by the free soil
squatters of the Territory. Both will 90 TO
Washington, but as only one delegate is al
iowed from Territory, either Whitfield or
Reedcr must be rejected. Now, we UNDER
stand that the administration intend to stand
by Whittield3 bat we venture the prediction
that unless Gen. Jeff. Davis keeps close
watch upon Mr.. Pierce, he will be carried
over to Reeder through the influences of the
Kitchen Cabinet and his inherent procivities
for free soil. The issue between Whitfield
and Rceder may be said to involve the whole
issue between the pro slavery and anti slave
ry parties in Kansas and the decision of the
House in this case will most probably deter.
mine the manifest destiny of the Territory,
one way or the other.

to do good. But We nre sorry some one has
not introduced bill to "secure the services of
competent teachers" which can only be done
by increasing the school fund to an extent to
command the right sort of capacity for the
business. As at present existing and admin.

it Just enables the Commissioners to offer
