RECEPTION OF GOV. REEDER.

Gov. REEDER was received at the cars, on
his arrival at Phillipsburg from Philadelphia,
on the eth instant, by a very great assemblage
Of the people of Easton and the neighbornood,
who were there to greet him with o hearty
welcome home, and an earnest and warm ap-
prevail of his course in the difficult and momen-
tous affairs with which he has been so credita.
bly, and distinguishingly associated in Kansas.
He was escorted by an immense concourse of
citizens, with music, to Connor's Hotel, where
he was received, in a short and eloquent ad.
dress, by GEO. w. YATES, Esq, after which
the Governor delivered a mastery and power
fully impressive speech, which was listened to
with profound attention, and evidently fell with
convincing effect upon his audience.
He gave a rapid but luminous and candid
history of the whole of the Kansas affair, show
ing up the uufairness and hypocrisy of the Ad-
ministration on the one side, and the high
handed and lawless proceedings Of tho Nilsson.
ri invaders on the other, with q clearness of
narrative and a graphic description which car.
ried conviction to the minds of all.
He explained satisfactorily, all seeming in,
consistcncies in his course, and avowed his fix
ed determination to stand by, at oil hazards
and through all consequences, the noble plat.
form of principles adopted by the Free State
party of Kansas. Throughout the whole OF
his speech, there was not one violent or abusive
epithet against those at whose hands he had
received such measureless abuse. He closed
amid a deep and earnest response of cordial
agreement on the part of bis hearers.

Mr.. Van DYKE also withdrew this question.

Mr.. Van Dyke also withdrew this question.
Judge Kane then remarked that the district
attorney had been invited to aid the court In
this case, but that he would bear in mind that
his relation to Mr.. Wheeler was now suspend
ed. This was only an inquiry as to what inju
ry had been done the process of the court.
Mr.. Van Dyke said he was aware of the po-
sition he occupied.
Judge, Kane then said "The contempt is
regarded as purged, and the party is releas'
ed from custody. He is now re-instated in
" the position he occupied before the contempt
" wa committed. Mr.. Williamson is now be-
" fore me on the return to the writ .-
MI. Van Dyke then arose and addressedthe
court.
After Mr.. Van Dyke had concluded, Mr..
Meredith inquired, as Mr.. Williamson dis
charged ?'
Judge Kane replied, He is. I understand
from the remarks of the district-attorney, that
a noAc p~rosegui has been entered in the case in
this court"
The court then adjourned. Mr.. Williamson
was congratulated by his friends on his resto-
ration to liberty.
Mr.. w. looks exceedingly well, and but lit
tie paler and thinner than in July, when he
made his amous return to the writ out OF
which so much trouble and discussion have
arisen. He appeared perfectly cool and col
lected throughout the proceedings this morn
ing, and evinced no emotion whatever.

LATER FROM CAL1FoRNIA.-By the arrival at
New York of the steamship Star of the West,
from San Juan, we have some important news.
The passengers were detained nine days on the
Isthmus by the political troubles. Col. Wal
ker had attacked Grenada, the capital of Mic
aragua, and captured it. Gen. Corral, COM
mander of the forces of the late government,
had surrended to Walker, and a treaty of peace
was formally ratified between them. The late
Secretary of State, Mayarza, was shot for trea-
son. The Transit Company's steamer, San
Carlos, while carrying the California passen-
gers, was fired into by the government forces
from the fort at the junction of the San Juan
river, and Lake Nicaragua. A lady and child
were killed, and the steamer damaged. The
passengers reached the Pacific without further
molestation. This occurrence took place on the
5th of October, and on the 10th the govern
ment forces from Rivas made a murderous at
tack on the returning Californians at Virgin
Bay, killing four and severely wounding eight.
Both these acts were in revenge for the success
of Walker.

AGGRESSIVE Policy OF THE SoUrH.-The
New York Courier and Enquirer has an ex.
cellent article showing that the arbitrary and
aggressive policy pursued by the South in the
political affairs of the country, has resulted
largely to its own disadvantage. The attempt
to invade the right Of petition started an abol-
ition party which is becoming powerful. The
expulsion from the House of Representatives of
Giddings has been the cause of bis return at
every election since. The admission of Texas
and the war with Mexico, undertaken for the
extension of slavery, have resulted in the crea-
ton of one free State-California-with the
prospect of Others. And the repeal of the Mis-
souri, Compromise is stimulating the North to
make free States of Kansas and Nebraska
much sooner than they would have been had
not the excitement caused by that act be, n
aroused.

polled for Whitfield at 1852, and states the
details, from which it appears that 1851 of
these votes were cast in ten precincts, having
very few votes, all sparsely settled save one,
Lcavenworth. No official statement of the
whole vote has been made, and it has been kept
back in order to make it exceed that of Reed
err. Several different statements of both votes
have been given.
The Frontier News says that Whitfeld's
poll was 1855, while Reeder's was 1905.

PAssMoRE WILLIAMSON RELEAsED.-The case
of Passmore Williamson was up in the District
Court,on Saturday last, and resulted in his dis.
charge by Judge KANE. A full report of the
Observation-Disclosures petition, the inter.
rogatorics and answers-and the decision of
the Judge-will be found in another column.
If our readers can find any difference between
Williamson's answers now, and his return to
the hobcas corpus, they are wiser than We are.
There is nothing in his " purgation7 which he
has not been endeavoring to do and say, every
day since the tyranny of Judge KANE confined
him in Moyamensing. The contempt" we
feel for the Court is increased when we see how
little it requires to satisfy its offended dignity.
Judge KANE has shown in this transaction,
both in the beginning and the conclusion, n
spirit of ~servility to the influence of the slave
power, which will render his name odious for
all time, to Freemen. In endeavoring to bow
to the domination of slavery, he has descended
lower than he intended, we have no doubt, but
it is no excuse for him, that he now endeavors
by weak and frivolous pretences to regain his
standing.
We learn from the Philadelphia North
american, that a writ, issued by the Court of
Delaware county, at the suit of Passmore Will
hanson, on a complaint of false Imprisonment,
&c, was served Tuesday last on Judge KANE,
while on a visit at the house of his brother-in-
law, Judge LIEPER, near Chester. The pro-
ceedings having been thus commenced, the case
will come up for trial, in proper course, at Me-
dia, in Delaware county. j. LEWIS, Esq,
of Westchester, is the counsel marked upon
the summons.

The DCTCH REFORMED CHrRcH on THE SrB-
JEcT OF SLAyERY.-The action of the General
Synod Of the Reformed Dutch Church, uou
the great question of the day is an event Of no
ordinary significance. Several churches Of
North Carolina, as it appears, processing tn.
doctrines of the Reformed Dntch, applied to
the General Synod for admission as a separate
Chassis. The special committee of the SYNOD,
to whom the subject was referred, reported in
favor of admitting the Chassis, without any re.
seryation in regard to slavery. Their report
and resolutions, after a daily debate for nearly
O week, were rejected, and instead of them re
solution IF red by DIR. Betbune, requesting
the Chassis to withdraw its application, was
carried almost unanimously. This was the
most courteous mode of defining Christian fell.
lowship with the shareholders that could have
been selected.
The remark of DR.. Bcthune. that while he
would not dare to refuse the privileges of Chris.
tan communion to a man merely because be
was a Shareholder, slavery itself was, ~neverthe-
less, opposed to the spirit of the Gospel, er-
pressed the feelings of nine-tenths of the body
he addressed. The stand here taken by the
Dutch Synod is the stand that must and will
be taken by the entire North, as well in itspO
l%itical, rs in its ecclesiastical relations to slavery,
The Synod not only refused to adopt the i'll
stitution, but, without transgrcssins the rules
of Christian charity and kindness, at the same
time carefully refrained from taking any action
that could be construed into countenancing Sa.
very, or ~apologizing for it. 1t did not abst
lutely refuse to admit the Chassis of North
Hnmn.n D,A - II Ill a. dn
so without q qualification, expressive Of its
disapprobation of slavery.
1t speaks to the South the language Of al
most the entire North-"We will not be re-
sponsible for this institution We wash our
hands of this iniquity."
That is the stand which the whole North
must and soon will take as we'll without as
within the Church.

fruits OF RuM.-7He Ohio State Journal of
the 29th relates the following
On Friday last Judge Williams of Union
county, at one time asso,iite judge of that
county, while in a state of intoxication, seated
himself on the railroad track, in the vicinity
of Urbana, and was knocked off the track by
a freight-train, and his foot was crushed in such
a manner that amputation had to be rcsortcd
to the same night. We learn that Judge
Williams died last night from the effecs of in
%juries received at the time. 1t is due to the
engineer of the train to say that when he found
the person would not leave the track, he re.
versed his engine, and jumped off and endeavor-
ed to run ahead of his machine, to save MIR.
Williams, but missed it by no more than two
steps. The judge leaves a wife and children to
mourn his loss"
