approval of every liberty loving and law
abiding cititen in this country. The
Northern press has spoken Of ie ftr noble
and distinct languages sustaining Gov.
Reeder, and calling upon the President
to give his official sanction to the course
pursued by him in that trying time
And now, if Franklin Pierce dares to
withhold from Gov. Reeder his support /;
dares. to disregard and defy the just de-,
mands of the North; is craven and base
enough to fawn upon those vile Missouri
rioters, and covers before the braggado-
eio threats of the South, then, we say,
may the political curses of free people
descend upon him, and may he be denied
wholly, totally and forever, place in the
ranks of unsullied DEMOCRACY
We trust Gov. Reeder will not resign,
but rather abide the issue The Kansas

GOVERNOR REEDKR AND THE PREsI-'
DENr.-It will be seen by correspond
ence which will be found in our columns,
that the Secretary of State has taken offi-
cial notice of the charges made by the
Commissioner of Indian Affairs many
months since, and that just as the Gov
ernor was about setting out on his return
to his post of duty he was notified that
his present official relations with the gov
ernment must terminate, unless the inn
preston left by those charges upon the
mind of the President were effaced.
The Governor replied promptly that
he should grossly neglect his duties in
Kansas if he remained here. any longer; !;
that he could not write while prosecuting
his Journey, but that the President should
hear from him soon after his return. He
concludes with suggestion, upon which
word or two of remark is due to Gov.
Reeder. He says: 81 must regret that
| your. communication was not made at an
earlier day."
The charges of the Commissioner were
published in the Evening Post before the
adjournment of Congress. They had
been laid before the President many
! weeks, perhaps months, preyiously.-
Governor Reeder arrived at Washington
some two months since, more or less
Just as he is about returning to his duty,
he is called upon to explain his conduct,
and given to understand that official dis
grace is pending over him.
t 1t may be that the Governor has been
guilty of misconduct; it may be that he
deserves, to be removed if so. we trust
he will be removed; at the same time We
warn the President against permitting tht
) clamor from Atchison and the crew wh'
do his bidding in Kansas, from exertins
undue influence upon his Judgment. Th
temptation to be rid of any responsible,
for the present difficulties in Kansas b,
dismissing Governor Recder, upon som
J. side issue, is very potential, and with
weak and timid man, irresistible; but
aside from the dishonor which the Presi
dent would incur if he were capable o
| desertine one of his officers in such al
emergency, he would fail entirely of Sc
curing the object of his sacrifice. AM
concessions made by the government t.
the ruffian interest in Kansas, will only
increase its pretensions and make it more
difficult to manage. Itshould have beer
met with frmness; and long before this
the country should have had some sub
stantial evidence that the President had
both the disposition and courage to pun,
l ish the lawlessness of which Kansas ha:
been the theatre. But the moral senti
ment of the whole country would be out
ragged, if-the character aad position of tn.
Governor of Kansas is sacrificed through
the pusillanimity of the executive and tb,
bullying of such men as Atchison aiit
Stringfellow.-T. Y EreRing Post.
The letter from Mr. Marcy TO Gov
Reeder is pointed, and We have read
it with strange feelings. In Penn
sylyania, where Gov. Reeder is known,
it would be difficult TO fnd a man, be.
longing to any party, who would believe
for moment, that he could be guilty o
the slightest breach Of propriety or jus
tiee, and We are. therefore, compelled t.
state as our opinion, that he has beer
misrepresented in some way. Our read
ers will remember that we some time agt

/ Mr.. Manypenny, on the subject alludes
. to in the note of Dir. Marcy. That wa
an able, honest, and high-toned letter.
