Removal of Gov. Reeier.

ernorship Of Kansas. and John l. DAw-
son. of Pennsylvania appointed in his
stead.
Inasmuch as nearly every act Of his
high and mighty nothingness, Prsnklin
Pierce, has disgraoei the State he halls
from, and the Nation over which he is os-
tensibly President, the people Of these
United States ought not to Le surprised
at anything he may DO in this. his third
year. Like the cells that the !ish-woman
said "were used TO being skinned, and
didn't mind it, SO the people having seen
so many miserable acts committed by the
Administration during its reign, ought
not to be astonishel at any new exhibition
of putty -faceism or servility to the slave
yoweT.
But notwithstanding they ought not to
be, they are surprised, as well as grieyed,
at the removal Of Rcc,ier from his Office.

vored neither party-he stood by the law
and claimed that all questions should be
decided by the law. But it appears that
Reeder did not comprehend what the Adj

; error in poor Reeder The Administra-
ton had opened the Territory to slavery,
, and it was necessary to send some man
there as Governor who would aid and as
sist in establishing it, SO that it might
pass off easily, without too much noise or
confusion. A northern man was selected
for the purpose, for the reason that no
, respectable southern man would conscn-
to be used for such dirty purposes.
Well, the Administration made Sc
rious mistake in that appointment. Reed
er proved himself to be every inch q
man." Atchison, Stringrelow, Thomp-
son & Co., found him in their way. They
tried to coax-he wouldn't be coaXed.
The attempted Bullying, and failed in that.
Then they boldly demanded Of President
. Pierce thct lie should be removed. It was
then discovered at Washington that he
i had been specializing illegally in public
u land. AT the time that Manypenny made
j the charges, Rceler was at home in Penn
. sylyania. Three months did lie remain
" there, SO that when the Administration
/ called forsxplanations he might, at " ash
u ington, vindicate himself Of the charge

But not a word did lie hear Of it unit
'e the very morning lie started for Kansas
i when he received letter from Marcy i
. which it was stated that such and sue
- charges had been made against him While

make his defence as soon as arrived i
At Kansas. Nothing more was heard Of IT,
