COMMISSION OF e. S. SENATOR
The Columbus Democrat of the Eth
inst, states on the authority OF Dr. Tale,
referring to the commission Of Uhltea
States Senator, transmitted byGov Brown
to Washington for the Hon. Jacob Ihomp-
SON. that the Doctor "recelyed nom IIe
Governor a sealed package addressed to
the Hon. X. ]. Walker, which was handed
to that gentleman on the 9TH OF March
II further adds, that 'the agency OF Dr.
Tate was that Of bearer OF confidential
communications between these two gen
tlemcn" the Governor and Mr. NalEer)
The Democrat continues: "The appoint
ment Of Senator was intended TO preserve
the aScendancy of the democratic party IN
the State, in the event Of Mr. Walkers
withdrawal, or the action OF that body,
rendering that ascendancy important.
The instructions imposed upon Mr.. Wal
ker prevented him from acting at all III
the premises.
Gov. Brown is now absent from the
Capitol but as much feeling pervades the
community in relation to this matter, we
feel called upon to state what we have I'M
derstood the contingencies referred TO
were. Gov. Brown received from Mr.
Walker about the 23d OF February, his
resignation TO take effect on the 9Th OF
March. 1t was inferred from Mr WIS.
letter TO the Governor, that he should ac'
crpt Cabinet appointment from Presl-
dent Polk, but did not state what that APP
poiniment would be. Doctor Tate was
the bearer of the resignation ol Mr.. wal
ker TO Gov. Brown. Mr.. Walker in ms
letter TO the Governor urged the immedi-
ale appointment of his successor in view
of the probable asccndancy of the wing
party in the Senate, and an attempt on The
part of the majority TO embarass The -
coming administration. Gov ,E8wn Inns
hurriedly called % sSs66, conferred the exec,
appointment upon Mr. Thompson;
bit thinking il possible that contingent
ca might arise which would prevent Mr..
Walkers accepting station in the Cabl-
net, Governor Il. enclosed the commune
cation to him, in order, that Should the
contingency herein named arise, Mr..
Walker might withdraw his resignation,
or withhold the commission 10 Mr..
Thompson, that the executive appoint
ment might be rendered 10 him (Nlr. Wal
kerr The Governor believed that the
people of Mississippi would prefer that
Mr.. w. would remain in the Senate, did
he not become the servant Of the Union in
the Cabinet As the contingency which
the Governor contemplated never arose,
he felt it due TO Mr.. Thompson, TO send
him the commission which he was enti-
tied to, on the Sth of March. Mr.. II. has
subsequently, in a very magnanimous
manner declined the executive appoint
ment.
Ii it much to be regretted that a free
consultation was not had with Mr.. Thomp-
son at Washington, in regard TO his rights
and the paramount rights of the people OF
Mississippi. The conduct of Gov. Brown
throughout, has been prompt and indie
pendent, exhibiting an earnest zeal TO pro-
mote the interests Of the State and those of
the democratic party in the Union. We
think this explains the mystery so far as
he is concerned, and if censure fall any
where, it will leave him harmless. He
will haveno conccalment in the premises.
We freely acquit DIR. Tate, Of any i'm.
proper agency in the matter. lie is in no
way responsible for the suppression Of Mr..
ThompSon'S commission.
