The Popular Voice.

Ih9 eastern press saw through Tie
flimsy veil Frqnk Pierce set up to pre-
vent the people from seeing his real mo-
tives for removing Governor REEDER
from Office. They speak indignantly at
this pandering of the executive to the
slave power. Frank Pierce's Admin
istration will be remembered with John
Tylcr's, and both will go down to the
grave covered with disgrace. This last
act in Pierce's administration is the
crowning work of his mcanness, the cap
sheaf in his infany, and will consign him
to political grave deeper and more
broad than was ever dug for mortal be-
fore. There is but one voice in Kansas,
there should be but one voice everywhere,
and that to do justice to Gov. REEDER.
The people, in their sovereign capacity,
eschewing all party considerations, should
take the matter in hand, and build up
those whom trucking demagogues have
pulled down. Frank Pierce will live to
regret the day when lie removed Gov.
Reeder from office.
The Easton Argus, leading Demo
cratic paper of Pennsylvania, speaks as
follows relative to this ungrateful move
ment:-
"The appearance of this correspond
ence has naturally created an unusual ex-
citement over the country, and was doubt
less published with view to ascertain
how the proposition to remove Gov.
'REEDER would be received That the
act has been decided on we have not the
least doubt. We have ho idea that any
reply the Governor may make will at
all affect or change the action of the ad-
ministration. Ten thousand ''explana-
tions," however satisfactory they
might be. would not suffice to remove
the impressions which we are told
''rest upon the Presidents mind" In
due time his, successor will be named,
and then, we presume, the administra-
ton and the Missourians viii be satisfied.
Common courtesy will no doubt induce
the "powers that be- to postpone the
removal of Gov R, until his reply is re-
ceived, although Secretary DAVIS, in
his undisnifed speech at Vicksburg, an
nounced "a fortnight ago. that .he had
doubtless beenremoyed before that time. .
We have no desire, at present, to speak
at length upon this subject, but we may
say now, that if President PIERCE is de-
termined to ruin the Democratic party
of the North a.together-if he is deter
mined to kill for all time to come his fa-
verite doctrine of popular sovereignty
I-if he has made up his mind to sacri'
fee the good opinion of the Democracy
of the North. let him go on and commit
this egregrious act of folly. 1t will be {
most unfortunate movement for his ad
ministration-one that the people vii
never sustain.
/ We make few extracts from some o
our exchanges on this same subject"
! PREsIDEST PIERcE.-A dispatch from
Washington is to the effect that Presi
dent Pierce has called upon Governo
] Reeder and the other officials of the Ter
ritory of Kansas, to account for certain
speculations in that Territory with tn
half breeds, in violation of the acts Q
Congress, and las informed Goyerno
Keeder that he cannot be kept i
Office unless the impressions now on hi
mind shall be removed by satisfactory ex
plantations. Governor Reeder promise
to give the required exph nation when b
J shall have reached Kansas.
This investigation may perhaps b
