In sabseqnsut column will be found eommH. nicatiOn from the Hon. W. 6. 0idllam. In rulailon to his claims for the nominaiIon to ConKrps, by the next convention. We have given IL admissaOn to our columns. although we differ very widely from hun. e 10 the Issues now made before the people, The Convention was called in accordance with resolution of the ast aascmbage of tho kind and for the purpose of ensntng the of the doOcratic party; and whatever may be the private opinion of the candidates, believe that the people have not lost sight of the object to be accomplished. As to the strife which exists between the Democrat and Banner. we can only say that we believe him tO bo mistaken to It's effect, and unjust to us, so far as the quarrel" Is concerned. We had tho ternerity, like many other democrats to expose false state ment made by Cot. Ashley to the President, upon which Miller was removed. The Democrat replied by dcnOuncing every engaged in It, as slander- CTS, &c., plOtters ngaIns his distinguished patron

 We gave him names, we proved the falsestatement, and we maintained our position which was con- frmed by Col. Ashley's own communication to the Democrat. This, with the Ashley organ was of course inexcuaable and from that time he has heap cdevory species of fvttupcrson upon tie unfortunate authors of the expose.

 Why then, should we be classed as aparty to the "disrcputabIe" brOils In the democratic ranks r. Would the Judge have us sit silently and see many of the bcstdemocra in the State miseprescnted aud slandercd, and not say a word in defence for fear that the Ashley faction might make "quarrcl" and create disunion7 We considered IL an Important part ot our duty to protect every democrat from such wanton assaults, quite much as to ae in cx- posing corrupton aud if the Judge intends by his remarks to make us an accessory 10 the 'srife up- on these grounds, we arc proud of the position in which he has seeu proper 10 place us. Col. Ashley is the only democrat CD that We have had any oc- cassion to hold up to public censure, and this task which we would have willingly relinquished but for thc obligation resting upon to defend honorable man, and true democrat, against his vindicve prescription. If any issue has beeu made upon this and the people are determined to rchuke the Senator and his organ, we know not why the Judge should complain, as he declares himself to have been m opponent of Ashleys in the Senatorial contest and is equally entitled to their support upon such ground.

 In noticing the disscnsions between the two pa- psrs. regret that the Judge should find it neces sary in explaining their origin, to quote the misera bic slang employed by the E,.it,r of the Democrat The 'ciique" has become cant m, we believe 10 designate all the opponents of Col Ashley, in the last Senatorial election, and, We presume, no one alludes to it in any other sense. So far as the Banner is concerned, the Editor alone is the clique which rules it, and man, or set ol men, can in- terpose between him and what he concieves to be his duty to the whole party.

 In reply to the inquiry of the Judge. whether or not we believe the Democratic party would unite upon him. if nominated, We are very Tree to say that we have no doubt that he would receive the support of the Democracy. And not only would it be given 10 him. but 10 any other candidate the con vention might see proper 10 prefer to him. We believe the convention wall be full and fair one and whoever may be selected will be entitled to the confidence of the party.
