 "Before close allow me 10 ask one question con corning the removal of Col John Miller. We un- deTstand here that, on the eve of Col Ashley de- parture for Washington last winter, by great excr ton some few of tho democratic members of the legislature living in the Batesve land district were induced to sign protest against the continuance of Col. Miller in office. Col Ashley, upon his arrival in Washington. sends this protest to the President. accompanied by letter from himself, in which he distinctly states that the protest is signed by all the democratic members of the district

 The gentleman from whom ge, my information told me he had seen all the papers connected with this business ii. your possession, and that the pro- test is not signed hy even third of the demo- cratic members. why don't you publish the whole of them' If the Senator has so far degraded his position, as 10 misrepfesen the truth 10 the Presi. dent for the sake ofgratiying his unworthy revenge against John Miller, We want to know i,-puhlish every thing and let the people know the facts"

 inrPiy to the interogatory of four correspondent, weSery freely acknowledge that for some time past we have been in possession of all the documents on file al Washington City, in relation to the re- moval of Col, John Miller, and among them was protest by few members of the legislature against the appointment of Col. Miller. It IS also true that Col. Ashley did state in letter to the President, that ii was signei by "aA the democratic members of the district" while the fact is easily proven tha not even majority from the distric, signed it. We can moreover state. that two of those who did sign u, were deceived as to it's contents SO far as the removal of Miller was concerned. and avow in an ahtisgaised nsnner, their disapproba,aion of the anderhanded manner in which their names were obtained. and the use made of their signatures We promise at aproper time the whole shall be exposed and then our correspondent, will be able to judge bow the senator after So closely canvassing the legislature could by any possibility have been 60 widsts misfaksa.
