United States troops, and the rights Of the emf
grants and the authority OF the local government
be protected at all hazards"
Send Reeder back, says Greeley, at the head
of the troops of the United States
Greeley knows, and has doubtless so adj
vised his coadutors Of the administration, that
Kansas cannot be abolitonized now but by
the force of arms, and he advocates this mea-
surei VIII General Pierce employ the United
States troops to thDart the WiU of The people
of Kansas We hope not. 1t is our judg-
ment, that if he even attempts to force Cover
nor Reeder upon them, contrary to their will,
and after they have repudiated him, they will
resist They will not be forced They may
or they may not throw him into the Missouri
river; but we do not believe they will allow
this administration to impose him upon them
All this may be wrong on the part Of the Mis-
sourians We are simply dealing with .tacts
and probabilities, and not discussing what is
right or what is wrong, as between the Mis-
sourians and Governor Reeder
We desire to prevent civil war, and fraternal
bloodshed Hence we say, that since the Mis-
sourians have literally expelled Governor
who was not only involved in land and Indian
speculations, Qor which, he deserves to be
broke, as the President knows, II one-half Of
the Indian Bureau Commissioners report be
true,) but who, tits also alleged, interfered with
the political rights of the people Of Kansas,
will the President send back such Governor
at the head Of troops, and put him over, and
maintain him over, . free and jealous people by
force Of arms? This is the point for the
President and his Cabinet to decide.
If the President does not propose to sustain
Governor Reeder by the United States troops,
then why send him back to the theatre Of his
speculations and Of his anti-slavery intriguesp
IF he does mean to sustain him By force, and
if he shall thus plunge this now peaceful coun-
try into civil war, to carry out the views Of
his anti-slavery allies then upon his weak
head be the blood which viii flow in the in
evitable contestl Why, at this very moment,
the United States troops shield from the fury
Of the people the abolitionist murderer Of
Clark and yet we are taught to believe, by
the Democrat, an Abolition sheet in st. Louis,
and its Eastern copyists, that the violence
which reigns in Kansas comes from the South
ern portion Of its people!
There is not a well informed man from the
West now in this city (and there are many
here) who does not believe, that Governor
Reeder and the two judges who united with
him, in his speculations upon the Indians,
would be driven from Kansas within twenty
four hours, if he were again to set his foot upon
that Territory. Before he lefts Kansas, it is
said upon good authority, that he deemed IL
prudent to go inside Of Fort Lsavenworth for
protection He dared not trust himself in
the hands Of the people who complained Of his
outrages upon their rights.
People Of Virginia such is the administra-
tion-such its appointees- its measures
such its affiliations land get they talk Of their
depotion to the South
Such are the fruits Of Executive dependence
upon Col. Forney-such the fruits Of the coali-
ton between Forneyism and Sewardism. If
the time has not come for the people, as well
of the North as of the South, to burst the
thraldom of allegiance to such political trick
sters, who triAe with the interests of the
South, and jeopardize the peace of the country,
}to f ths STATS It's ftsf7 hssH MAY aS1i
Will the country, the conservative portion Of
the people-the people Of Middle and Southern
States-or Of any Of the States, sanction the
use of brute force to quell popular excite
ment in Kansas, which the appointment and
conduct Of Governor Reeder has produced,
and which his dismissal would terminates
II Messrs. Hunter, Mason and others, who
claim to be the true friends and defenders Of
Southern interests win not now come out
against Forney, Pierce, Reeder, Seward, & Co.,
and support the conservative American ticket
in Virginia, which is pledged to oppose the
elements which sustain this mserably aboli-
tionized administration let them never find fault
with the " American party If it shall repud-
ate them We ask our friends in Virginia and
the whole people Of that State to bear witness,
that neither one Of the Virginia Senators, nor
any one of the anti-American candidates in
Virginia, nor any one of the anti-American
orators, nor any one of the anti-American
presses in Virginia, have said one pord in de-
fence Of the Southern men in Kansas, nor one
word Of condemnation of the policy Of this ad-
ministration, as carried out 10 Kansas by For
ney, Reeder and company
II General Atchison and his friends shall
sustain the rights Of the South in Kansas, and
defeat the Vaccinations Of the Fasionists, then
these Virginia politicians win perhaps be full
some in their praises-but IL he should be de-
foated they win disclaim himi Such is mod
ern Richmond-Junto- Democracy It has more
prudence than moral courage, moro cunning
than political candor,-and far livclier regard
for the emoluments Of place and patronage,
than for the hitherto unblemished honor of the
Old Dominionl
THE VETo OF Gov. GARDSxR.--Governor Gard
ner, of Massachusetts, for bis refusal to concur
