head, just uttered at Easton, Pennsylvania,
under the formidable enunciation of "Gov.
Reeder sustained at home" We are not about
to controvert the assertion that Gov Reeder
is sustained at home if he is sustained, it
has very bad look for the administration

viction that lie is perfectly safe only when no
faith or interest is involved. In other words
that Gen. Pierce is good at inaugurals and
general principles, but exceedingly treacher-
