He reiteratcs the miserable ialsehood that we were "afraid o' ashauede to place in our columns the whole cor respondenee, and atier asserting that it would render Drew and Johnson infss US, &e., hs cautiously ard warily avoids .,ng them to the public. even when he se .sIedges that the PaPe'' Asps 1R tcea piIced ia kis kands by .dshey' Whe does not know that if the Editor thought he could in any degree effect the character of either oi 'hf gentlemen, by publication of those documents hk would very gladly open both his paper ana MS pocket for their dissemination. Who does nor Oe' Iievs that they would s;d to the causes wh'ch' 'n the opinion of the people already surrounds wl.h halo of infamy the Senator and his organ. U 'hey are really what he pretends they are, why prove false to the promise made to his readers in the ic'- lowing paragraph.
 From the Democrat, oct. i5, lS47' | "Vvo call again for the balance Of those letters. HAD WE COPIES, WE sHoo HD HAvEPUBLIsHED THEM LONG siNCE'' Three nHmhfrs of ls .fshiey organ has been 'ssUfa since e receipt of those tfers' soere acknowledges by Ms Editor, and yet not one of them has he pub lished. He contents himself with two small para graphs of four or five lines each, from the mass be- fore him. and abundany verified our prediction thai the only notice he would give them, would consist of garbled extracts. and isolated sentences upon which ne might indulge bis fact for msrepresen'a- tions and his unfair and unwarauted attacks npcn every man opposed to the p,oscriptive policy of his distinguished patron. Towards Gov. Drew and the Hon. R. ". Johnson "malice, hatred and all unchari,ableness'' are especially directed While from masked battery of covert detIaction, he as- sails Colonel Sevier and others whom he Is afraid openly to meet in hostile attitude, for he knows that by his sneaking and clandestine system alone can he evsr expect to undermine their srengh.with the people.
 In connection with this matter, we may refer to a letter from Cs. Ashley to Col. Miller. which we published with others upon the receipt of the papers in which the Senator pledges himself without quail fcaiion. b support Miller for the office. The Ash ley organ tells us that this was private letter ana that ''the Banner ~h,n thry gave il to the public omitted, ty misiake. ef course, certain certificate thereuhto attached, which is the words and figure. following. to wit:

 We made no m take, We omitted no certifca attached to it, and this is in perfect keeping witt ! the whole tissue of ialsehood of which the Edito 1 has been guilty from the beginning 10 the end 0 this controversy. The odgiaai letter from Aslley Miller ras sent to ss (iom Wdshit9ton City ,rah tn oiher papers. and we have no copy among them c any such certificate.
 | Will the edier moi abandon this reckless attemp at defamation, and save us the trouble of expos l ing his shameless interpretations of facts. Doe he imagine that his readers however partial can b hoodwinked by his statements, whe0 every weel his Palpablc falshoos are exposed: Or does he cal cala'e upon the guIlibility of mankind in general and the popularity fast waning of bis patron. " can tell him that neither will serve him, and wit every miSdced that is hrough; tn light, and whic we are called on to prove. aggravates the contemr which is gathering upon the "organ" and it's master
