who is right in regard to the lost commission
OF MIR. Thompson. And when the light which
sooner or later WILL fall upon the whole mys-

be- the visitation of popular indignation on
more than one head now carried loitily. We

as,onish the public which has been long hum

our move has not been seconded. Office and
nigh station have yet too much swa, for an
humble individual To stand against their in
fincnce. Only one single press, the MISSISSIPPI
DEMOCRAT, has had the courage TO give even
the facts to the public, which we have already
revealed. Had they been given, they would
have awakened an inquiry which would have
brought ALL out. We do not complain. We
know that TINE will set us right; and with a
confidence as mistaken as ever man felt we
await its Judgement. The revelations m dare

We are now traduced and villiiied for the

contempt for our traduccrs than anger. We
confess, however, our notification at the
course of those who have preserved a silent
mentality in the matter. We have seen truck

had a right to look for Independence. We
never asked for more than the FACTS of this
transaction should 20 TO the public.-We
have found presses which never failed in their
duty, Sinking from laying then before the
public. For our own part, we are willing to
incur all the odium which sycomphantic min
ions are s%tiving to heap upon us. We ask
no higher reward than the consciousness We
feel of rigln-vce want no prouder fate than to
suffer in what, at some day, all will see was
our duty. All we ask from those who so bit
