The letter which publish to-day upon this subject IS
whose word and fidelity have the most en-
tire confidence With the past history Of Gov Reeder we
unscquainted and would only judge him by what
he was doing We saw the appointment OF Conway, and
denounced the time thought every true friend
the South would having his abolition letter
10 the Sun of this city We tnow hfH and know him 10
be abolitonst and he had openly proclaimed in his
published letter bis sympathies with that party IN Kansas
Atfu MS he appointed aker Of Che census by Gov.
Reederand next saw il announced that Gov. Reedsr
be the candidate Of the aholitioniss aud know
uothngs. Upon this information based the remarks
which have called forth this vindication.
We assure friend that shall never knowing
" say aught TO the prejudice Of any northern who
stands up for the constitutional rights OF the South On
the contrary, nothing give pleasure than TO
place al such men the broad platform Of national faith
and national honor 10 which they eminenty enti-
sled We glad TO learn Of Gov. Reeders fidelity TO
those great principles apon whose maintenance rest the
future peace and pepetn of the Union and regret that
he should have been led by the recommendations ofsonh
ern make the appointment TO which we have OBJ

with increased fury to be finally stied by his high

DICKENS ON ENGLAND.

The following extract from BLEAK House is biting

of which have been painfully illustrated to the people Of
Great Britain by recent public events;
England has been in dreadful for weeks.
