If past experience had not proven that the
any act, however mean and abject, to testify
to the South the depth Of its seryility and deg
radiation we could not have believed tlat Gov,
REEDER would have become a sacrifice. HIS
antecedents were all in his favor. lie was IN
fact, Pennsylvania politician-amongSt whom
it is unusual to find one who does not carry his
principles in his pocket-and it wasfair to pre-
sumo that he would offer no obstacle to the de-
signs of the slavery-propagandists. But Gov.
REEDER, it appears, while National Demo
crat," had some little independence and sense
of propriety. He labored under tha mistaken
idea that he was sent out to be Governor and
organize territorial government, instead OF
becoming facile tool in the hands of ATCHI-
SON and SrRINGFELLow, to carry out their plans
for the introduction Of slavery into Kansas
Hence the Speedy collision between the two
parties, which has ended in the removal of
REEDER to the everlasting disgrace of the Ma
tional Administration.
Has the neglect or refusal of the late Demo-
cratic State Convention to endorse the action
of REEDER, or to denounce the invasion of the
MiSsourians into Kansas, had any effect in
hastening his removal What do his friends
| in Pennsylvania propose to do? That is now
an important question. VIII they stand quiet
| ly by and see him so outrage0usly sacrificed to
satisfy the demands of those whom he has been
in the way of? Are they content to see him
become q victim to the Moloch, which demands
an Offering of every Northern man possessed of
backbone We very much fear that he will
be deserted by his friends-that places in the
different departments, in custom houses and in
post Offices, chargeships and fat places gcner-
ally will prove more inviting than devotion to
a man hunted by the slavc-drivers, and desert
ed and prescribed by the National Admins
! traCion.
| Almost simultaneously with the announce
ment of Governor REEDER'S removal, tele-
graphic despatch appeared dated st. Louis to
the effect that he has published a copy Of his
answer to Secretary Marcy's last letter He
says in relation to the charge of having pur-
chased half-breed Kansas lands, that he has
purchased no such lands. He thinks he has
been treated very unfairly, because the Presi
dent has called upon him for his defence against
charges of violating rules which are not speci
! fed, and asks for their specification.
