Jacob Thomson has published IN the
last Oxford Organizer an address ''o

gives history Of the Chicasaw blI''
and Of the lost commission. we
think he places Messrs. Walker ana
Gwin as the advocates Of that bill IN
rather an unenviable light. As to the
lost Commission Of U. S. Senator he
INDUCES in no direct censure OF bob
Walker; yet he leaves the fair inier-
ence that he regards The suppression
as an outrage on the people of{Missis-

inexcusable on the part Of MIR. Walker.
