THE LOST COMMISSlON~-AGAlN
We did not intend 10 refer 10 The affair
Of the "lost commission" again; but The
repeated illusions 10 It in other papers,
missiasing our course in reference 10 il,
makes isneccssary for Us 10 do SO in self
defence.
From among hundreds Of paragraphs oi
similar import. we clip the following from
the Pittsgurg, (Pa.,) Daily Morning Post,
of the 22d inst:
"The yindication ia 50 complete and
overwhelming that the Mississippian, the
originator Of the misrepresentation, has in
an article Of considerable length, apollo.
gized for lis connection with il, unequiyo.
calIy exonernling Mr.. w. from all blame.r
The charge that the Miss,ssippian was
g The originator of the misrepresentation
is, as all our readers know, wholly untrue.
The Mississippian has not misrepresents1
at any time, nor have we apologzed'
for our connection with the subject. We
expressed ourselves satisfied with Mr.
Walkers explanation Of the notifies which
influenced him in Withholding Mr.. Thomp.
sons commission; satisfied inasmuch as no
public injury had resulted; satisfied iha,
censure would unjusily attach TO Mr.. Wal
ker under the circumstances; but we have
at no time asserted, nor do we ever expect
10 do so,that Mr.. Walker carried out the in
tenlions of the governor Of Mississippi, ia
suppressIng the commission. The govern
or fully intended that Mr.. Thompson should
have taken his seat on the llih March, as
on that dav the commission took effect
He intended. that Mr.. Thompson should be
the senator in the event of Mr.. Walkers
going into the cabinet. Mr.. Walker mis-.
apprehended the wishes Of The executive
of this State; his motires we do not ques.
ton, and hence we are satisfied.
We have done nothing 10 "apologize'
for; we would pursue the same course over
again, under similar circumstances. And
if any thing we said in reference to Mr..
Walker, grated harshly on his ears, he has
himself only to blame for his long and un-
explained silence in regard 10 subject
which was agitatng the whole State. At
the time he determined to withhold Mr..
Thompson's commission, he should have
apprised both that gentleman and the 60.
