Correspondence Of the Herald
WrLKEs-BARRI, Pa, 9th August, 1856.
.Messrs. Editors:
Ny prediction in a previous
letter to the Herald, concerning Gov. Rec
der's removal, has been verified; and the
people of Kansas must now experience the
relief, felt by sleeper under an incubus,
when suddenly restored to wakefulness.-
The explanations demanded by the Presi-
dent of his Excellency, touching the char
ges Of illegal land speculations, came forth
as clear as black cload In a dark night;
and have had the effect to disappoint his
friends throughout the country egregiously.
His defence embraces but two material
points. The first, in regard to the pur-
chase of Indian lands. he answers in the
following language;-"If there is any
wrong in the matter it is not "a wrong
committed, but at most only wrong at-
tmpted, and in the face of all probability
a wrong which we expected to be sane
toned by the President" 1t was cat
most only "a wrong attempted -" a wrong
which we expected to be sanctioned by
the President!!''
The second point is simply demurrer !;
1. E. the Governor does not deny his guilt
in "other speculations in the lands of
Kansas, apparently in violation of Acts
Of @Congress &c." but that "the very
general manner in which the char
ges are stated, the entire absence of
any specification on which to make a
point OF raise an issue" might cause him
to "wander in side issues, departures.
evasions and uncertainties, without ever
reaching conclusion % Pettlfogging is
generally contemplate, which even bad
case will not justify. but this position of the
Governor is laughable.
The Abolition papers are prolonging
an agonizing wall over Reeder's removal;
and in discussing the matter, do not fail to
consult their vocabulary of literary gar
bage and choice lies.. Abolitionism and
Truth are Antipodes. witness so much
in print of Kansas affairs, that know to
be utterly without foundation, that my
prejudices against Abolitionists, are fast
growing into hatred. And the meanest
wretches, the lowest liars, and the lousiest
vagrants of all the abolition, hermaphro-
ditish, dog-souled anthropophagy are to
be found in Kansas. Ihey are The .dboli-
tion letter sUriters. M'Crea, who has sent
into the Eastern press three or four letters
lined with falsehoods, is not the only lying
cowardly scoundrel in the Territory.
had not been here but few days, before
l discovered the following precious extract
going the rounds Of the public Journals:
/ STRANGE DEvELoPMENr.-A Kansas
letter to the Pittsburg Dispatch says, under
date of fsLeavenworth, June 26th, that J
M. Alexander, Pennsylvania, was the
originator of the pro-slavery vigilance
committee" which lynched Phillips, and
COMMITTED other outrages! The same cor.
respondent says that the public odium res
ting upon the lynchers has caused the dis.
solution of the committee, and that they
have been turned adrift BY the hotel keep.

a pro.slayery man"
i The writer knew he was lying wher
he penned that letter but like a filthy
aproned scavenger, gathering and spread
ing offal, his foul instinct (soul he has not
led him to collect and scatter the putrid ex-
crements of falsehood, in character witt
the hybrid horde, from M'Crea, doscn t.

the name. "Wel," said Long, "do yo'
know he would steal niggerss" I saw m!
friend had read the tell-tale guilt in tn
old Devils countenance, for. like Cain, th'
mark is visible on these Abolition rene
gades. A thief will lie.
But one paper has made further com
ments on the letter in the Dispatch, thar

in my defences which elected the follow

my respects and hopes of soon meeting
with you, will close this com mmunication.
