 A further attempt is made to detract from she poli.icai standing of Col. Miller. by refer nng b his sspportof Cri,iendeu, more than % years sgo, when opposing Col Sevisr for Representative in Congress. Il is very well known shat, during our existence as q territo- Y, politics of general nature. very rarely influenced 10 any extent the votes of men, and that shs party lines, since drawn so distinctly h she State, formed no par, Of .le comics, be- tween these gentlemen The Democrat will no doubt bear us out in tlis, as itis IS fact, somewhat notorious, that our neighbor, sbout thai lime, phblished some articles abusive of Gen. Jackson, which caused difficulty be- tween himself and Criiienden, who was then the warm friend and supporter of Jackson. We were somewhat surprised, thatthe Ed- isor's correspondent should be forced to the necessity of going to SO remote period Of omE political history, sn prove that John Millsr is moi democrat. Our friend '1Casca," 1" alihoagl. he hasexei,ed .oa very high degree sha iss of few, who consider their des- asy held by Col.

 The caustic article in the last Democrat, upna siRe-buildmg the Penilen,iary,n has eiiei.ei the enquiry, from many, what secret cause of hatred actuates onr neighboi in his continued misrepresentation of the acts of the Executive of this State. II, instead Of wrisire yindictiye paragraphs, and serving GO fs;shfsily the enemies of Gov. DREw, the Editor would cast hts eye over the laws passed at the last session, in regard to the Psaissnsiary, he perhaps would not have done His Exeellency the injustice contained in the article referred to For the law giving tlle discretion to the Governor, and Secretary of Ssase, io act under such . contingency as the advertisement conlempla,es, our readers are referred to the 7lh section If the general app propriasion bill. We have noticed this to show how far our neighbor will ssgo il blind' agasnss Gov. Drew, and how eagerly he seizes every opportunity to censure him As to the abuse il contains, we put that down te the sssmbigui,y of language" sometimes indslged in by our neighbor, or else neg isst of his early education.
 RELscIous CoSrRovEsY.-The prospect cf debate between the Rev. Mr. TRrsLow, cf the Methodist Church, and Rev. Mr. C..sx, q the Reformed Baptist, hnth now U our city, has for some days past, created quite n nnsexcitement. From the eorrespon- dence, however, which we publish, there is -lisils probability that the discussion will take place before next spring, # then.
 Some misrepresentation of the position taken by ME Trnslow in the matter, has indaoed him b make m explanation io the publie, which will be found in another eoIsmn, addressed to the Editor. We the more sheerfaiiy give ]. place. because weI dssm is safair to foses:aII pablie opinion in iavor of either party.
