GOV. REEDER TO BE REMOVED!

That Gov REEDER would be removed from
the Governorship of Kansas (unless he could
be coaxed to resign) we have never had a
doubt since he refused to lend himself to the
purposes of ArcHIsoN & Co. This weak, i'm
beetle Administration, is too far sunk in the
depths of servility, to hesitate when the South
bids it go deeper and deeper. Our readers
may be assured that Gov REEDER, upon some
pretcnce or other, will be victim. We have
faith enough in his pluck to believe that he
does not intend to resign but will rather be
removed.
1t will not be many months before Governor
REEDER will be removed, and the tools of the
South will be denouncing him as an Abolition
iSt. Will the dough-face presses of Pennsyl-
vania stand up in his defence. Very many
have gone great ways towards committing
themselves, but they have wonderful facility
in changing. We shall see.

FRoM A SLAVE SrATE.-The Delaware Re
publican says the people Of the North and West
cannot be rallied to the support of platform
which asserts that the laws in regard to slavery
shall remain unchanged that Congress ought
not to legislate on that subject within the ter
ritores of the United States, nor the District
of Columbia that it would have been the
height of folly for the Northern Delegates to
have acquiesced in those provisions, or remain
ed in the Convention, and candidly adds =" If
slavery is social and political evil, as Southern
men as well as Northern ones have declared,
our friends of the South should give way, and
not attempt to extend or perpetuate it by an
additional law"

BG@ A very extraordinary disease has Iato-
ly made its appearance in a few families in tI,is
city-some of them eminent in wealth and mo.
sition-whch has confounded our physicians
because of its novelty. At first they cassed
it under the head of erysipelas, but as it would
not bear that classification, some of them have
given it the name of " the plague" Itappears
at first in some discolored spot, say on the face
and extending, without suppuration it soon
destroys life, as if by general modification.
If suppuration takes place, it passes off but
if not, death is certain to follow There is no
contagion about it, and it is not epidemic in
any form
One or two physicians have resorted to the
knife, and cut out the plague spot on its first
appearance, and so have saved life. Fever
and delirium attend the progress Of disease, if
I" the spot" is left to spread. Such is our
information but as we have seen no case
with our own eye-and if we had, should not
be able to describe it scientifically We
say must be taken with this understanding.
1t is not the plague, for it is not contagious
or epidemic But what is it ? The plague
may be imported, nay has been imported into
the south of France, from Turkey but it NAV
be some new disease, which, like the cholera
is to destroy the human race We should be
obliged to some medical man for some scieuti.

President PIERcE.-A despatch from Wash.
ington is to the effect that President Pierce
has called upon Governor Reeder and the other
officials of the Territory of Kansas, to account
for certain speculations in that Territory with
the half-breeds, in violation of the acts Of
Congress, and has informed Gov. Reeder that
hecannot be kept in office unless the impressions
now on his mind shall be removed by satsfac-
tory explanations Governor Reeder promises
to give the required information when he shall
have reached Kansas

" A gentleman showed us a stalk of wheat

of the fly, and we are assured by many who
have closely examined their fields that hardly
a stalk can be found that does not contain more
or less. Fields that one month ago promised
bountiful harvest, now yellow and dead
