with that paper. his dead-beat proclivifies had
full sway He would bum around the stores and

dreaded by all alike-not only those who kept
goods and wares for sale, for fear OF having 'heir
profits nipped, but also by those who had cows IN
delicate situation, for fear OF consequent loss OF

1t has been our mshap to incur the august DIS

his stink-ball at us, and hid! Being by nature
hypocritical sneak, and not having the manhood
to lay his charges before the person aee"sea, he
has withheld from MS the paper containing them.
They are simply re-chewing of innuendoes, sur
mises, guesses, suppostions and fabrications that
he has heard going the rounds for some time past,
from disappointed or malicious persons; but lie

acknowledgement then withholds from us the paper
containing them. We first saw them in the shape
of brief items or sarcastic remarks in sundry pa
pers, which, for some reason other, always like
to copy these digs at "SoI. MILLER," and Sreedily
re-pubsh every thing said against him, and accept
it as TRUTH whether it be charge of selling out,
stealing or murdcr-always winding up with the
declaration that "SOI. MILLER" is "takcn down."

brother editor in the Southwest, (thanks to
him. has clipped the article from the Augusta
Republican, and sent it to us in an envelope; and
now, for the first time, are enabled to see what
it was that tickled those other editors SO hugely
That editor must be thoroughly acquainted with
the rotten old hypocrite, to guess so well that,
after abusing us, he would not send MS the paper
containing il!
Some weeks ago, editorial of almost two col
umns in length appeared in the Augusta Republi-
oan on the donbly stale and worn-out subject of
the corruption of Kansas politics. 1t was re-
hash of the vague charges and random assertions
that have been going the rounds for many months.
The editor of the Republican marked this article
in the papers sent to his exchanges, for the pnr-
pose, we presume, of having it copied, and eulo-
gies pronounced upon the talented and ncorrnpt-
ible "Major" DAVIS. In that article, among 9th
er things it was stated that the entire delegation
of six members from one County sold out last
Winter ON the Senatorial question; and further
ON, that the editor would take the contract, for
certain amount of money, to elect fool to the
Senate. We published a little squb asking him
whether he intended that an official notifica-
tion that he might be a candidate for Senatori
This is the sum of our offence, and this is what
has caused the great king Of skunks to befoul us.
The Great "Maj." DAVIS, in his crushing reply,
saws that Doniphan was the County alluded to-
and that we were one of the members who sold
and that, he infers was our reason for publishing
the sauib! Having previously said that it was
an entire delegation of six from one County that
sold, and since discovering that no County had
such delegation, he gets around it by saying
that six members of this County sold for s12,-
600. and that one member either remained
honest, or was cheated out of his share. Now, as
"Mai.n DAMS knows y much about it, and just
how much each man got, why not tell who that
honest man was, and relieve him of the odiumf
1t is simply because, in his childish wrath over
ing blind assertions. Had we copied his article.
with encomiums upon the ability, honesty and in
dependence of "Maj." DAVIS, and had the matter
that offended him come from Atchison, Douglas,
or Leavenworth County, he would have made out
this same to fit them. And after all his fuss
and feathers, the only thing he has proven, ishow
big liar "Afaj." j. B. DAVIS is, as far as heard
from.
We are truly unfortunate cues, as far
getting any good Of the proceeds Of our sales is
concerned Here we have been charged with
peatedly selling out, sometimes for immense sums,
end ought to he independently rich. Yet. while
editors who enjoy reputation for honesty have
plenty of money and leisure, and are on the 60
most of the time, We are compelled to link into
the work day and night, in order to make ends
meet, and really have not time to attend to neccs-
sary outside business And how our knowing ac-
cusers are squandering our pile! Last Winter,
squad of -pullers from Doniphan County went
to Topeka, to control the vote Of the County for
CLARKE. They controlled not one, and came
