We shall now close our comments upon

consistencies and sophstries OF his pub

We have shown that the contingencv

the suppression of Mr.. Thompson's com.

Mr. Walker had no authority whatever.
for destroying it.
We have proven that it was mere IN.
vention that he considered the electioncf
public printer the only inducemcnt Of
Gov. Brown in making the appointment.
\ We have shown that Mr.. Walker, in
the prosecution of this intrigue, has notion
ly usurped the power to destroy the Co
vernor's commission, but has attached to
him the burning disgrace Of having de-
stroyed private letter to Mr.. Thomp-
son, in order TO conceal from him all infor-
nation about his appointment.
We have shown that Mr.. Walker and
DR.. Gwin were joined together in urging
! in the most strenuous manner the passage
[ of the Chickasaw Bill. 4 And we have
shown that Mr.. Walker in debating to
Governor Brown as his successor, a man
avowedly having personal interest in
this Bill, and an employed Indian agent,
showed an interest in it himself, and an
attempt to control future Legislation upon
it, totally irreconcieable with dsinterest.

, We have shown that Mr.. Walker had

chagrin, rage, and modification at the ex-

stances which force us to the conviction
that it was from motives Of revenge aud

Tie chain is complete. The once proud
honors of this man must topple to the
I dust. Such an lntrguer cannot be trusted
in the public councils. Since the melan-
choly history of the wise but corrupt Ba-

man fitted for greatness--high in Office
and the honors Of his country--has forfeit
