How then could bo, one of my warmest friends, hw to withhold the commission a motive could have influenced earnest desire not to violate trust reposed in me by the exa state ; nor is there any man fiI whom under similar circumsaI have delivered the commissioD
 When the commission was on the 9th of March, and my and placed beyond recall, agat cry, it was my firm conyictio1d would certainly adjourn on orbs until after which Mr. Thompd take his seat under the comns was nothing on which i was Senate would have to act exceI tive nominations. The Zolya not to be acted on until Deed vote was 10 be or was taken executive sesion. After month vigilance on my part, the I'd had passed both houses of could require no action on hA ate |; and 1t was determined @P December the election of a State, so that nothing remane ecutiye nominations, which no could detain the Senate beyond is true, the Senate did sit a few produced by a most unexpeciei one of the executive nomlnaiq in an adjournment of the Senaa to the 10th, which, together vi quent death of a Senator, occas CT adjournment, did prolong the Senate a few days beyond when my decision was made did consider 1t certain that the adjourn on or before the lOhI quenlly, as Mir. 1hompson'sca not take effect until after that could not take his seat at the sion. Such was my firm coHI l acted on the 5th, and such EoI the result, but for occurrences man foresight could antlclPaie,
 | trust, in conclusion, that a of Mississippi will see in my T on this subject, nothing but an | to have provision made to meeI cy which might have resulted ,1| intervention, in a defeat 0l lo| party, upon a question of great its political results; and Tha''| a judgment others, judging alter ter, think they observe in my c1nu| but believe that all impartial n ceive, that my motives were P'| able.
