In reply to correspondent who attempts
to justify the Presidents course in rcmov-
ing Reeder for specializing in land, it is
enough for US to say that Reeder was not
removed on any such grounds. That has
not even been given as a pretext by any
journal protesting to speak for the admin
istration, while the Star as we have already
shown, puts the removal expressly upon
t e g A2f ''iucompatibility of temper
Der and the Legislature.
ne are advised that during
~ be Go~ late visit to the East, and
sfnce the facts in relation to the purchase
of lands were fully known in Washington
the President offered to appoint him Com
missioner to China if he would resign.
The Governor declined the honor, prefer
ing to fight out the battle in which he had
engaged, for the people ofKansas, to what
under the circumstances, might be constru-
ed into an ignominous flight.
1t is not likely, ifthc President had scru-
pies about Recdcrs moral fitness for the
governorship of Kansas, that he would
have proposed to him much higher dig
nifty, with better pay as an inducement to
resign. No! Governor Reeder was Re
moved to conciliate the slavery propagan-
dists and strengthen the administration
party in North Carolina and Tennessee at
the elections just closed. 1t was stroke
of the same dignifcd policy which dicta-
ted the crushing out letter of Mr.. Cush-
ing, pending an election in Louisiana or
Mississippi some two years ago.
| The President saw that the Governor
and the Legislature had got intos-a contro
versy which required the interrogation of
the government. He dared n6tes iaterferc
directly, for or against the supremacy of
the federal government in Kansas He
tried to escape rom his endorsements by
getting Reeder to go to China. Reeder
would not go. The next best thing seem:
ed to try him for specializing in lands and
send him out of Office with damaged char
acter, that he might enlist no sympathy.
a western paper, the Chicago Press,
| rrIv H., fkl
of the President to have Reeder resign,
and relieve the President from his embar-
rassment. The Press says that he employ
ed personal friend of the Governor to
manage this business. This ssdear friend
wrote to the Governors letter full of SYM
pathy for him in his s.embarrassments, +"
and closing with friendly advice" that he
had better resign.
A few days passed over, and while the
President and the Governors s'friend"
were anxiously awaiting the letter of res
lgnation, the latter received a reply which
was as follows: eff President Pierce thinks
resignation asovercign remedy for embar
easements, it is about time he was tryingit
himself
There IS as much truth as poetry in the
Governors reply.
There will be,smass meeting at Easton,
the residence of Gov. Reeder, on the 10th,
when suitable notice will probably be ia
ken of the iudignity which Pennsylvania
has sustained in the time and manner of
his removal.-N. Y. Eve. Post.
