The writer begins by dsciarng himself calm observer. and therefore 1 suppose he thinks himself correct one-ahd foE all know. aa honest one, too. Possibly hs may be aiii one thing sure he is not correct or fair Feasooer; and il strikes me that any person that thinks hin such, is easily satsed. and must arrive at his conclusions. not by just deductions from the facts Of the ease bat because the conclusions of the writer agree with their own wishes.
 Iwii pass over the stefcotyped twaddle about Sen a'Or Ashley, and hs iejusy being ths Only motives of Col Johnson. and the other gentlemen who pro cured the reinstatement of Gel M1lrr-and proceed to show that the charge of inconsistency. that s as tempted to De fastened upon Col. Johnson. has 10 ieai ground to rest uPon and that the cases cited not "similaT."
 Whea the whigs succeeded in grasping the reins of government in Is4o. most Oi your readers will rseolIeet the flaming zeal which the hangty. needy patriots oE that party manifested in grasPing the spoils-ofiee, office, office. was their ,norsing and evening prayer, snd. unsuitable as the grave. the burden of their soog was give, give. give: 1.
 At this period Maj. Elias Rector was Marshal Of this State, and had held the office for period cf bout I2 years-faithfuiy, and honestly had he per formed its duties-no, the shadow of complaint. pahlic or private rested upon his fair fame. In ging his removal from ofIiee violent whig said to Mir WEBSTER, then Secretary of State,-.sir; Twill give my ears if hs Is not dcfaalter to large a. mouut''--.sweii, sir" said Mir. w 'sthen cut them off, for instead of being in debt lhe department him."
 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. And Mir. Editor considering the grounds of his removal had he not right to ask for, and to expect restora- ton to office when his party again became trium- phanty Had he been removed for uufaithfnness, dishonesty. or incompetency, the would be dl- ferent But, on the contrary, the whigs that re- moved him. bore honorable testimony to his ster- ling integrity, and faithfaInes in the discharge of his iuties. Is there, then, would ask, the least sinilarity'' between this and the ''Miller case 2!
 
 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. So far as there is any ''smi- Iasity'' in these cases at ali-and I confess that cannot perceive the Ieast-CoI. Johnson, according to the rule hc adopted in the Miller case for his guidance, would have been bound, had he acted at a to have assisted the old Marshal to obain the office he ost by political prescription" It is well known that, in neither instance was there any doubt of the honesty or capacity of the gentlemen removed.
 The one was removed by the whigs, when they came into power, because he was a demoerat, and was re-instAted by Mir. Polk, because the grounds l of objection, with him, were recomme endation-- merely gave him back an office that he honored, and of which he believed him to have been unjust | Iy deprived.
 The other removed from office by FALSE HOOD AND MALICE. impeaehiag lis political in- | tegrity He re-iHstated as AN ACT OF JUS TICE, because tAe ekarges ,eers PROVEN FALSE. 1 The winding up of the article of tone of the people" richly deserves apassing notice. He must surely be new come., or else, write for pay; otherwise he would never harp about Senator Ash ley'sgreat talents. 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
 like talent since his election to the Senate, would simply ask him 10 point out the time and manner Would he refer us to his great effort upon the an- nexation of TeNas-tha, mighty speech of dictionary Hotoriefy-Or to the scintilatiOns his great mind threw off upon the Oregon terri,ory-.hat original 1 speech not founded upon the dictionary Does his fame rest upon these, his only known effortsl If so may respect the sincerity of the writer though at the expense of his judgment.
 | But, if the writer refers to a certain kind of talent, tho possession of which by the Senator is undeniable, fully agree with him. 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. It emanates from every pore of his body--every pulsation of his heart is prer nsnt with it--it surrounds him with halo of moral ,urpitude, from the effects of which no liy ing man has ever escaped unscathec who had the temerity to venture within its influence ONE OF THE B.HOYS.
