T THE MILLER DOCUMENTS.

sThose letsers,' as tho Ashley Organ Is pleased so term them, upon tho strength of which the Pre- sldent restored Cot Miller to office, called for ir the last number of that print in many placfs. The editor tells us that:
 ing these lctter will bear no other interpretation than that they arc either AFRAID or ASHAMED to produce thefn;' and that "ihey dare not produce them they will expose the extent of baseness to which nrs~ and Johnson have stopped" &c
 We have told him over and again. that WE had Ge letters and gare Aim perRisioa 10 fake copies cf ALL 1hs posid promise to publish thsm. This II F REFUSED, upon the ground that we required that hshould publish them entire, and not present gab- led extracts. But the true was, hc dii not desire to give publicity to letters from distinguished and influential democrats, which placed his pa- tron Col. Ashley in position so unenviable, and would rebound to the honor and credit of those whom he had been so indus,riously s!andering. We have soid before, and we still have to believe that Col. Ashley or his organ HAD COPIES OF THE SAME LETTERS. and that he only urgei their publication for the purpose of throwing upon tho Banner the odium of aidiug to the diSsen sion which already existed upon this exciting sub ject. The dupllcity and want of honesty in denying that he had the very letters which he demanded from US vocferously, is only equaed by the shameless assurance with which he at last comes forward and aekmosciedgss in me some paper that he has thcm.- He says in postscript:
 P.S. We have just received the Documents from Washington City; Col. Ashley having applied at our request, to Commissioner Young for copies. We have not had time to examine them They very V0LUMINOUS. We call upon the B nner to go on. with their publication. They commenced, and it is their duty to go with them. Out with 'cm, we say again.
 So say we. Out with them. But thatthey were 'jsa received' from Col Ashley. will admit of a doubt as the editor, long ago knew that. sig natures of the staunchcst Democrats in this S,ate they would condemn and expose the proscriptve policy and corruption used in the removal Of Col. Miller. And now that the Democrat acknowI- edges so much, we expect nothing more than that he will publish only extracts Of the documents, or euli such portions of the letters as may suit him. either for the purpose of defending Ashley or as- sailing those who may have aided in exposing his own underhanded and secret movements in the matter. We know the interruptions mode of war
 fare adopted by the Editor and his colleague, and that with them, the perversion of well known facts, would not be more in charac ter with them than a missiafemeai of rhat those letters nay eoatan But we warn them thai WE have 'eopies," and that they shall not, without exposure, perpetraie such raud for the grahca,ion of their malicious motives or aitempt such imposition upon the people. We ask that nothing shall be concealed kep, back. that has transpred in the whole controversy. From the letter of Col. Ashley to John Miller, of- fering to sustain him with the President for the office of Re- gister, down to the name of the last Demo- crat, who denounced the Senator for his proscrip- ton and false statements, in relation to Miller. Give them ALL, we say, and if every unprejudiced does not confirm the verdict. already awarded by sdage, with some faith. that "dishonesty may have temporary triumph"
