oipen of the hearty congratulations of his numerous
enda in and out of Congress- for the gallant fight which
he made in the recent memorable in Ilinos.
THE LAST PHASE OF BLACK-REPUBLICAN SEC
TI0SALISM.
II seems to be generally understood that the Massachu-
sets Aid Society into bankruptcy upon the defeat Of
Col. Fremont for the presidency The funds collected
under the preext of furnishing aid to settlers in Kan
sunk in the presidential canvass in the pockets
of the pious backrepubcan missionaries who raversed
the country and obtained them, by false pretences from
strongminded women and ,oeahminded men. 1t is, at
least certain that the poor halfstarved emgrants, who
induced to go to Kansas under large assurances Of
aid from the funds Of the society have been left to suffer
or to gain subsistence by work charity The prom
sed aid came apd with the defeat of Col Fremont
the announcement that nothing could be done
for bleeding Kansas" except through legislative dona-
TONS Vermont has taken the lead in Legislative chsr
ties and she is being covered with compliments for
the noble example she has set the other Stateg Mr.
Seward has showered upon her his choicest words of
commendaton and blessing whilst Governor Reeder
has grown eloquent in appealing to other States to
gives up the of free Kansas unless the exam
pie of Vermont shall be followed. He says :" If Kan
sas and the regions beyond are to be saved from the
curse Of slavery extension The example (of Vermont)
must be initiated" Te add weight to his appeal Governor
Reeder says that he of free Kansas has been for
the last two years my sole occupation and there is poba
bly, view Of the which have not diligently
and anxously considered" Thus prepared to give his
opinion he declares that there is remedy remaining
cept most vigorous and continuous effort backed by
liberal supply g funds" AS moneys raised by indiyd-
ual effort must be limited in amount" he concludes that
without legislative aid il is highly probable that
not accomplish much beyond what have already done'
We need not stop to remark upon Gov Reeder's admis
son that during large portion of the time when he
acting governor Of Kansas his sole occupation was
the of free Kansas in palpable violation of his
official obligations which required him TO see that the
organic law of the Territory faithfully executed
According TO his confession be was diligently
and anxiousy considering how to make Kansas free
territory instead of considering how secure 10 the
inhabitants the privilege Of regulating their domestic
institutions as they pleased. This admission is not
only in direct conflict with the vindicstions which he
has heretofore made Of his conduct governor but
shows that President Pierce might well have removed him
long before he did and grounds additional those OF
his unwarrantabe specuatons in lands Nor do we think
proper to dwell upon the remarkable inconsistency nyov-
cd in Gov Reeder present anxiety for the cause Of free
Kansas and the regret which be expressed upon the eve OF
going 70 Kansas that he had TO buy some ten or
twenty slaves to carry with him Nor viii we arragn him
for his soctude that HE republican friends should open
their pockets for the relief Of the suffering emgrans whose

Bot suspect Gov Reeders appeal the score Of OBJ

false pretence If it is not then the New York
Evening Post makes wise suggestion when il advises the
donors to be careful into whose hands they place their
charities Whether this hint aimed at Gov Rseder
or at other fithless Kansas agents do not know but
recent developments prove the wisdom Of the caution
We regard Gov Reeders letter as having much lees

extract from his letter dscloscs the real purposes

To this might be added the advantages OF trade and
