 This is the man that was removed by whig Pre- sident. to make way for a whig-not for even the shadow of fault, but soely because he ras desso erat-and this Is the thaaP resident Polk again appointed office, when by the voice of the demo- cracy of the country, he came into power.

 by trickery and falshood An honest, upright man, anc true hearted democrat, slandered and deep y injurcd-and ii was solely by these unjust and fase representations that he was removed. The fnds of Col Miller, in disabusing the miad of the President and placing all the facts before him. fer his decision, performed but simple act of duty and the President, in re-nststing him. not only d,d act of strict iuscc but also showed his contempt for the author of the treaehery and aIshood tor in other words, for Ashley's tslsnts) that had been practised upon him.

 The one was removed by the whigs, when they came into power, because he was a demoerat, and was re-instAted by Mir.

Why does he not explain what he means by greatness-iti is possible that we might coincide with him, prorided, he would speak out the honest truth. If the writer means to insinuate that he has shown any great political or statesman

It is a con- ceded point, believe, by general consent, that he is unriyalled in talent for low cunning, petty vindieiive malice. and unscrupulousness generally. and has especial genius for all kinds of fraud and corruption In this species of talent he Is unriva. ied-unapproachabie.
