Sick With His Own Physic.

Mr.. Pierce belongs to party that has al
ways commended for the superior wisdom of the
veto. They have always thought one mans
opinions more honest and more apt to be right
than that of tho many. But this Governor
Reeder seems to have run the veto so far into
the ground that Mr. Pierce has become offend
ed with its abuse. He has literally made the
extreme medicine of the Constitution its daily
food" So Mr.. Pierce has vetoed the vetoer
Considering the question of popular sover-
eighty involved in this domestic contest in
Kansas, we scarcely feel competent to pro-
nounce upon the merits. The Abolitionists,
greatly cnragcd at the organic law Of Kansas,
enlisted an immigrant army, contributed
money, established joint stock company to
purchase homes for the settlers, and the Tri-
bune and its correspondents recommended an
armed occupation, with shipment of bowies
and revolvers. The challenge seems to have
been accepted and their antagonists have oc-
cuped the Territory and propose to organize
its government We do not think the Adolf
tionists have any right to complain that they
have been beaten at their own game; and if
Governor Reeder has endeavored to assist them,
they need not be surprised that he has been
set aside for one who will at least be more i'm
partial. II was plain that there could be no
harmony between the departments of govern
ment constituted like that of Kansas The
Governor must now give way, or the Legisla-
ture. We hope the next Governor will not
turn partisan, but content himself with exc
cutting the laws.
We shall be pleased to know upon what
ground Mr.. Pierce places the removal of Reed
err Is it upon his famous speculations or
upon his attempt to make the Legislature Of
Kansas conform to the dictates Of particular
policy? Let us hear
