ture of Warren Cove, appears in the Pioneer
and Democrat Of July lst, dated at NisquaIIy
Bottom. This, like the first effusion from
the same source, is a tissue Of tie basest
falsehoods, with q reiteration Of former
statements, without particle of foundation
for any portion Of either communication (;
and those who have lived here quite as long
as Cove, and who are quite as familiar
with the history of Col. Wallace, here and
elsewhere, are led to wonder at the hardi.
hood displayed in this second letter by the
miserable wretch who fathers 1t. Though
dated at "Nisqually Bottom" it is known
to have been written at Olympia, by the
master of this man Cove, who, for the use of
Gove's name, has promised him sub-agency
when he (Mlllcr) gets the appointment Gf
Indian Superintendent. For this he gives
bis services as inventor Of lies to aid the
election Of Stevens; and for this he sacrifices
what little reputation hc previously had for
truthfulness to ruin the private character Of
Of one whose shoes he is not worthy to
clean.
Lies are heaped on lies In this second let
ter, as the reader, on comparing It with the
replies in this paper Of last week, will not
fail tosee. Those replies, over the signatures
Of Meeker, Keach, More and Bachelor, did
the time permit, would be followed up by
sworn afidayits. That, however, is entirely
unnecessary to those who are acquainted with
these gentlemen; their veracity dare not be
called in question. The reader will agree
with us in the impression that they contain
several large "iotas Of proof" Of the ialsity
Of Goye's statements. One 50 utterly lost

of the unprotected; in short the friend Of
