Gov. REEDER AT HOME. A despatch dated
Easton, Pa, 3Oth, says:
g The Hon. A. Fl. Reeder, Governor of
Kansas, arrived here to-day from the west, and
met with very enthusiastic reception from
his friends.
He was welcomed in an impressive speech
by the Hon. j. NJ Porter, who complimented
Gov. Reeder on the manly and courageous as
well as able manner in which he had dis
charged the duties of his difficult and respon-
sible office.
Gov. Reeder replied in feeling and elo-
quent manner. He referred TO the reports of
fraud and outrage upon the part Of slavery
men in the Kansas election, and emphatically
confirmed the very worst statements of them
which had preceded his arrival. He said his
opinion oa the subject of popular sovereignty
had undergone no change-but.that the con-
duct of the people of the border counties of
Northern Missouri had astounded and amazed
him, by their reckless disregard TO all laws,
compacts and constitutions. The State OF
Missouri would be called upon 10 disavow all
sympathy with these border rufiians. If she
refused the South would be called on TO dis
countenance her. If the South refused, the
solemn duty would devolve upon the North to
take up the matter, so that the rights of her
sons who have settled in Kansas, on the faith
of solemn compacts. shall be vindicated and
sustained.
Gov Reeder was frequently and enthusias-
tically cheered by large audience present.

DEFEAT OF THE KNOW NoTHINGs AN PHIL
ADELPH1A.-Such is practically the result Of
the late election, though the know nothings,
having the power and the disposition, shall
count out the reform treasurer ard commits
sionor.
In seems that twelve new members of the
select council were chosen, and II members
of the common council-the whole board. OF
the select council the reformers elected EIGHT
and H.. L------.l:-z- nine X. n. s
hold over and only three democrats-so that
the new conncl will stand democrats IL, 9TH
ers 13. In the common council there will be
38 reformers, 38 k. MS. Among the demo-
Gratis elected is Pierce Butler from the 9Th
ward, and VIM. Duane from the 7th
This chastisement has fallen spon the know
nothings on account of their profuse and cor
rupt expenditure of the public money, as well
as of their proscriptive and indicative course
generally. Wings and democrats have both
assisted in their overthrow, although it was
through whig fostering and aid that the un-
natural and monstrous faction rose to power
Mayor Conrad's majority in June last was
5000, and the know nothings carried nearly
every ward in the city last year, electing near
ly all the members of the councils, and almost
all the city officers. The reverse is now very
striking, and the punishment Of the faction is
terrible, if not quite SO complete as could be
wished. .r

The NORTH RIVER PREsByTERY AND THE
Know NoTHINGs.-The North River Presby-
terry in New York State, held a meeting in
Mr.. Wies church, Pleasant Valley, recently,
in which they took unanimous and decided
ground against the secret order of Know Moth
ings. The following extract is from the pro-
ceedings.
" The Presby,ery of North River, at their
recent meeting in Pleasant Valley, adopted
unanimously the following resolutions respec-
ting Ministers holding political offices, and re-
quest that il may be inserted in the Telegraph:
4" Resolved That we regard it as inconsis-
tent with the character and usefulness of Chris
tain Ministers 10 seek political preferment, and
entangle themselves in any political organiza-
tons d; and especially do we look with disfavOr
upon the apparent growth of this evil among
the different religious denominations when un.
der the influence of secret associations.

Is there any better medium than that afford
ed BY the democratic organization, through
which to avert the impending woes Through
which to restore public order, to gain the as
cendancy in political affairs and to maintain a
party in the State upon sound principles of po
litical actions Higher now than the behests
of mere party are the demands of The State
upon the citizen. He may not so much look
10 the party as an end, as through i; is means
to the accomplishment of grand result for the
public veal. Responsive to this most compre-
hensve duty. clearly seen and indicated in the
unmstakable signs of the times, whether in the
