at was so piping hot the other night and the
speaker dragged so heavily, that we did not hear
Mr.. Miller speak more than five minutes" Such is
the excuse of the Editor of the Register for not hear
ing the whole of Mr.. Millers great speech Monday
night The weather, it seems, was too hot The
truth is, the words of the speaker and the facts he
brought out, were too hot for our neighbor Like
Felix, he was disposed to wait for some more ICON
venient season."
We have the pleasure of informing our neighbor
that expect to publish in next the geater por
ton of Mr. Mllers speech on the occasion referred
to; and we invite our neighbor to notice the speech
and anscer it through the columns of his paper
The hot weather will not prevent the Editor from
noticing the speech in print He select his time
when the weather is not piping" but only r:oder
ately hot; and then with coat off good supply of
pens and a comfortable noggin of iced lemonade, he
can go deep into the bowels" of the speech
Come, neighbor, you must do it. The public ex-
pect it. We know that you are as able as most
writers for the press but you will need help in this
work Mr.. Millers friends will not complain if you
call in Messrs Badger, Rogers, and Battle to your
aid The speech will bear the of all Of them.

weather. takes up our fellow-ctizen the Hon. Daniel
NJ Barrnger, and proceeds to notice him in no very
good-natured way. lie applies such chaste and
classic terms to him as renegade Whig"-"vener
able statesmen" by way of ridicule-"ring master
during Mr. Mer's performance" and 1.-the venera-
BILE preservation" &c Our neighbor is offended with
Mr.. Barringer because the latter united himself with
the national Democratic party, and would not go
with him into the culvert with Sam" When the
old Wing party disbanded Mr.. Barringer co-opera-
ted honestly and openly, with great national par
ty, and not with a faction which rose on the ruins
of Whigge-y, and which, next to black Republican
ISM has done more to sectonalize and injure the
country than any faction that has existed since the
Constitution was formed. If he had "renegaded"
to the Know Nothings, as our neighbor did and then
back to the Wings and then over to the Opposition
lists and then to the Constitutional Union party,
as neighbor has done, he would have been very
consistent politician, and we should have heard
nothing of those chaste expressions now applied to
him by the Register. That paper will make moth
ing for its cause by the temper and manner in which
it is pursuing Messrs. Miller and Barringer.
The Register says that MIR. Barringer asserted
at former meeting of the Democracy that Edward
Everett was no statesman" This is a mistake
Mr.. BarIinger has made no such assertion. He said
that Mr.. Everett was admitted to be an orator, a
scholar, and statesman, but he was more orator
and scholar than statesman. Every intelligent
person will agree with Mr.. BarrInger in this opin-
ion. Indeed, Mr.. Everett is quite as good preach
