So far as Col NEILL is concerned. we have heard no friend of Col.

 L.. J. REAaDoS. EsQ.-DeaT Sir; In the Publica- ton made by you, in the Banner, touching the re- mosai of Col. MILLKR, as Register of the Land Ot- Zee at this place. reference is made by the Commis- siOner of the General Land Office. to letter writ ten by me, and. as the same has not been published injustice has been done me. by seeking to convey NEIL. do no, charge this on yOu far from It, but on certain busy bodies in this quarter.
 My agency in the matter was simply this: After the death of Newiand. learning Col. Miller was an applicant for the office, wrote distinguished dem- ocrat in his behalf Subsequently and after his ap- pointmen,. learning that an effort was being made to remove him. wrote to the President of the Uni lsd States; but. in neither letter. did a word in disparagement of Mir. Neil. know both gentle men well; though politically opposed to. have ever been friendly with them and with Col. NJ. very in- timate.
 viewed Col. Mi!ier'N removal as an outrage. would have viewed Mir Neil's had he been appoin- ted in the first instance. Both unfinching dem ocrats. and either would have given satisfaction to the Lawrence Land District. Mir Woodruff is in error about the democratic convention in this county in lSl6. All the candidates ran on their own hook I voted for Mir. Neil; should nave done so under the then existing circumstances, if 20 whigs had been run. He voted for me expected it, and if he had not have done so, should have thought very little of him. Yours,
