Itmsy be vefy satisfactory to his ffads huila. no douei psote 50 b tAsm; but, looking ss the whole move ment ahssraetediy and withoat prejudice, as we do if conveys to as no refasaiion of the ehsrgs that Milier had been removed by false statements and secret aud uadeFhaRaed means, and ID no way un- settles our belief that bis esppointmens was pare Iy an act of justice While the Colonel iAsinnsies that .gtoes imposition has been practised apoa the President, he seems 10 forget that be eanaidly ac knowsedses aissisisa<nt made by himself 10 Mr. Polk, which, it would seem fem the papers, was ths chief cause eE MiiIef's Semeval. How much of this amistake.' iato which the Senator has fal len, arose lFosu inssIverteney. bow much from in- teatica 10 crush political adversary. our readers have % doubt already determined from the facts placed last week belcse them. We can only say that it was singular error on the part of pelti cian usually so kees-eyed; singular that specuaior in iasds troaghoat the State for the last % yeats, should pieai ignorance of the Land District baes. far as te state that the nine sgners to Ihe protest were al the Democrats from thirteen northern eoHs ties more especially when he had recently can vassed the State, and had just eseaped from hea- ted eoatest for his seat Seaater. in which every member of the Legislature appealed to. and the county each represented we'll known fo the Sesa- tor. Admit. however, that it was. he says. sim- ply ''an oversight" the matter was under discas sion months ago ia the Demacsa; and Hsaser. and the Colonel mast have beea satisfied that Miller was the victim of this miss,atenent.

 The iogs which are made in the letter at the Fede- raj and sszie officers who sigped the recommends- tion Tor the reappOiatmen, of Miller, will dcabt have, with these gentlemen. the weight 10 which they entitled, and, they have had his opPosi- tion before will 10 do 1h be able to survive his h. tent threats

 The remonstranee SO strongly endorsed, and the letters accompanying it. which alluded to in the report of the Commissioner, we would be glad to place before the public in accordance with Colonel Ashsy's request, but we have no copy of them, and we doubt whether any exist. We have, however. taken steps to obtain them. and whenever they come into our possession we will not withhold any. In the meal time we would be pleased to see paper to which the Senator refers in his letter, thus;

 A petition aameroHsly signed by con siderable nansber Il don't say alb of the most prominent Democrats of the District, recommending the appointment of NIT. Neill, as Register, 10 succeed Dr. Newland, was sent ne, for transmission 10 the President.

 It certainly is not on file ia th> proper Depart ment at Washington. or il would have accompanied the documents already published and if it remains in the hands of the Senator surprised that he did not make it appear in hs defence. Let us have ths petition 30 ..aamerously signed by eOnsidera bic nauber. that to each may be awarded his share of the responsibility.

 The Colonel, in alIading to the opposition with which he has had to contend, in very bad taste as we conceive. piumes himself upon bis triumph over his opponent for the Senate. If there policy in rRrniHAsag officers of the General Government Of the eminent station which he occupies there is cer tainiy tle wisdom in boas;ing, now, to the pabli ~eharing defeated an opponent absent in the ser vice Of his country, and whose heFoism and death uE'ou tHe uctl Nt UAtuc uaFc OeTOtne q tHef1e TOT edlosy from every tongue. lie is truly welcome SO far as we are concerned. 10 all the support which tais will give him in the attempt to extricste him self from the dilemma into which he has falen.-- With as t;ie consideration for what the public know of facts, seems to the statement that bis op- position to the friends of Gov Yell was not perse veringiy continued when appointments to office were made 1t would not be difficult for us 10 ob- tain names and dates to show how far the Colonel deceiges himself in this; bu, his action a almost, every case wkere Gov. Yeil's friends were arpfi- eaass is ton notorious to require proof '' We are informed" that, more than occasion, the Sen aor attempted to make the appointment of par.icu lar and tse rejection of others the price of his support al the administration.

 Whatever may have been our opinion of Col. Ash Icy. as politician, be unjust to him, and car respect for the station he fills fosees from us the nidest exposaFe of bis 'syindetive policy"

 CoSsIsrEscY.--Cni. Ashley. says in his letter to the Editor of the Democrat that Miller has been a.'dsad weight upon the party, since Isal." while ia Jane lsi5. when running for the Senate, he was very anxious to carry with him this '.dead weight, :, aad telis Col Miller. .I will do ali in my power. ts have the sfhee eef Reg,ser) eoaisHed on you.
