The Lying Miller.

The Lying Miller.
Miller, the lying editor of the Free
State, has another falshood about us this
week, respecting a conversation we had
with Mr.. ELLIOT. Miller knows that
statement of his was false, like every
other one he has made in regard to US
from the time he stated ten months ago
that the Herald of Freedom was neu-
trail or conservative on the slavery ques-
ton" down to the present. He is the
man who has adopted the maxia that
tie "end justiies the MEANS" and has
represented conversations &c, purport-
ing to be held with us, and other actions
of ours, and in every instance they were
kRown TO him to be false. LIN his ar
ticle of two weeks ago we stated that ev-
cry assertion made in that paper in re-
gard to US was untrue. We again re-
peat it, and find Mr., CHRISTIAN, like an
honorable man and gentleman as he is,
has published a card in the Free State
denying having any such conversation
with us as Miller represented, and yet
Miller has the e6rontery and meanness
to charge Dir. Christian with quibbling.
That card was voluntarily furnished the
Free State by Ar. c., without any pro-
curement of ours, and stamps the LIE
deep in the forehead of Miller, yethe
prefers to stab his own friend in PETER
ence to doing US justice. He also repre-
senied we had made propositions to DR..
Wood to do public printing for him.
This he should, and probably does know
was false, for we never had word Of
conversation with DIR. WooD on such a
subject. We have for some time looked
upon the Doctor as pro-slayery man,
and knew that the Free State was indebt-
ed to him for its existence, and it would
have been foolish task for us to have
solicited work of him under such circum-
stances.
Mr.. CHRISTIAN is practicing lawyer
in this place, and we are happy to recog-
Mise him as apersonal friend, pretty much
the only pro-slayery man in the country
with whom we have friendly aequaint-
ance. Presurning that he might want
a business card printed, or something Of
that character, we did tell him ofour
superior facilities for doing good job
work, as we have done on one or two
occasions in the Herald, and reiterate
again now. We hold ourselves in readi-
ness to execute any order from any man.
SAGE printing circulars and election {; kets
for the pro-stavery party on tie sve Of an
ercsting ele ton, and will work for DR..
Wood, if he wants, although, as we be-
fore stated, we are conscious that the
Free State is his recognized organ, and
he will, of course, seek that Office for his
| work.
We had hoped Miller would have the
decency to not repeat his infamous falls
hoods about our parents. But he has
done so, and deserves a kick from every
respectable man he meets for doing SO
contemplate an act. Once for all we
repeat there is not shadow of truth in
that assertion of his.
We asserted in our last issue that it
was probable Miller was drunk when he
penned the article in his issue of Monday.
He may tell as much as he will about
our slandering him. but there is not a
man of observation in Lawrence who has
not seen Miller almost beastly drunk
from intoxication several times, during
the last few weeks and the habit is
becoming so confirmed upon him as to
be source pain to his friends. II
our public exposure ofhis vile and degra-
ding habit shall awaken him to con-
seriousness of his debased condition, and
he shall reform, we shall also have hopes
that his character for veracity will i'm
prove at the same time.
i Miller says he will olive down" the
charges We have made against him.
We hope for the honor of his friends he
will quit ''Iiving down" in the gutter, OF
in any condition SO closely approxima,
ting to itas he has been found doing for
the last few weeks.
1t isa disagreable task to strip the
lions skin from the donkey, but it must
be done, that the public may see the
thing as he is. We have done so in
4NiAer's case, and hope he will not be
fool enough TO put iton again so as tc
compel US to give him another fiagella-
ton, and again strip it off, showing still
farther his naked deformity.
