 We, last week. at the earnes, relacs; of the Democrat pabsshed the letters of these gentlemen In relation to the Miller affsir. It expected of coarse that, coming from democrats of such sc- knowiedgei worth and distinction, thesr letters would hsys been re-pablished by thoi paprr, more especially the editor every week tnstify cai- ling for them, until they scPcared. To his snr- |, priss doubt, the sentiments expressed through them, gave fst contradiction to ali that Ashley and kimsrif had bcea saying and sustained the friends of Miller in the position they had taken- Iesce, the atiesnPt to keep these letters from the knovIetgc of his Fcaaiers aad tae ridiculous half eesnnn of foolish in his fast paper, instead q the letters themselves His remarks upon Col.

 h relation to the letter of Major Armstrong 90 plainly exposing the faisehnOd ana prevaricatiou hoth of Ashley and the editor, he says:
 ..Haa Mai. Armstrong been informed of the pro. test sent 10 the President. signed by ten members o the Legislature knowing personally the facts vouch ed for-hzd he known ,ha, Senator Ashley had pre- eented the same 70 the PresiIeat-in short, had he kaown the base purpose intended 10 have been ef. feeted by the Clique, and that the object to make an attack on Col. Ashley. he woald have aid si them. by giving them letter to the President
 This. h will be seen, is a barefaced statement o she editor and entirely at variance with the fact Major. Armstrong; was fully informed every thiug ia esanexion with the matter. He vas shown th, celebrated protest and at his request the Rolse let y q .fskisy fo Mer and all other papers relating to his removal The consequence was. he was g much disyusted with the movement of Ashley ana the foul prescription, exposed, that he sat towr and in presence of several gentlemen wrote the lette pablished last week.
 He left it to b. sent to the President, after la king acopt, which he said should be sent to Col Ashley. if he demanded 1t. He wished 10 dis guise nothing in his cO1rss og eoadae, Sach wa the origin of AR letter. The editor of the Demo erat says:
 That he wrote what ha believed, we have nc dnssbt; anu ars ead aaas ca ain for what h, wrote.
 This is great stretch of mognanimity, fo which the friends of the lamented Major Arm strong, must feel under many obligations. II truth. 1t would be suprrnely ridiculous, if i were not so decidedly impertInent. The yer, Lea of one snsaA elitor, sitting in his easy chai st home, and Illuminating one moment. the mos offensive paragraphs, the next, in a patronizin, way, forgiving tue sins of men who towered g hr above him, is really absurd. It reminds u ef she little old looking monkey always seen il Meaagerie, who te1zes the lion, and jumps Ol the Elephant, and is generally dixniied with esiEsr ssl cAais.
