The Administrator Aboiitionized.

Governor Reeder is countenanced by the
Washington Union -upheld by the anti-slave-
ry men--and is likely to be endorsed by the
administration. Forney is aboring for the Elk
ecutive approval Of Governor Reeder's course,
and is not sorry that such approval would in
volye the condemnation Of the Missourians. In
the meantime John Van Buren, arrives in
Washington, in aid Of Reeder and Forney. The

sistingly allow Governor Reeder and his in
triguing friend Forney, to drag the General
Government into the support Of the Massachu-

South to stand still, and see Reeder and For
ney seduce IN imbecile President into the en-
ployment Of the army, to crush Atchison and
the Missouriansl What sublime patriotism |
Messrs. Hunter, Mason, Richie, and the
selfish politicians, have silently abandoned
Atchison and his friends to the tender mercies
Of Governor Reedcr Colonel Forney, and their
anti-slavery allies! The question we now pro-
pound to Virginia and the South is this, Will
you initiate this selfish example, or will you
warmly and uncalculatingly sustain the Mis-
sourians? This is no matter Of ours; it is
yours. We present to you the true condition
of this controversy, and you can side with
whomsocver youplease. Weshalllet the South
know what is going on here, in Washington,
and our duty is discharged.
