A gentleman in Virginia calls attention to the fact
that the enemies of President Pierce in the South lay
cuiar upon his appointment of Governor Reeder
proof Of his willingness favor freesoes and asks
whether, at the time of his appointment Gov. Reeder
not regarded sound national democrat 1t is in
power TO answer this question with entire confidence and
to say that down the time that Governor Reeder went
to Kansas TO assume the duties of governor of the Terri
tory there had not been, far heard far
as the President ever heard breath of suspicion
his entertaining freesoil abolition sentiments He
appointed under the strongest that be was
strictly and honestly national We able state
further on very reliable authority, that whilst Gov Reeder
in Washington at the time of his appointment he
versed with southern gentlemen the subject of slavery
slave than horse, and be regretted that he had moi
money purchase number of slaves carry with him
to Kansas We understood that 10 repeated the
sentiments his way Kansas We will repeat what
have had occasion say than
has been appointed By President Pierce to Office
adherent of the baltimore platform Of 1852 the subject
of slavery If any appointments made contrary to
this rule il done under a Misrepresentation TO the
positions Of the appontees, We may add that the evil
dences Of Gov. Reeders soundness strong that
President Pierce slower than many others TO believe
him freesoer after he had gone Kansas 1t is there
fore the grossest injustice to refer to Gov Reeders ap
pontment as proof Of the Presidents willingness favor
