gentleman is successful in discovering those

that the subject Of this communication will

it is so comprehensive in its character, SO
patriotic in its aim, and likely to be so be.

"We learn that much personal and Bit

notice Of the British claims; considering
Them TOO absurd for serious attention. =
The dispute between tho United States
and Russia was adjusted some time ago,
by mutual agreement IN favor of the
parallel OF 81 degrees and 40 minutes as
the boundary line between the respective
territories Of the two nations. The pas.

uoy. Browns message, giving cores
pcndcnce IN relation 10 the Lost Comml-
sion, occupies so much Of our room thatwe
are compelled to omit tho accompanying
comments VIC would wish 10 make.
Ii will be seen to be true that DR.. Gwin,
a we'll known Indian agent, interested per-
sonally and deeply in the Chickasaw Bill
then before Congress, was cunningly and
strongly recommended 10 the Governor as
the appointee.
|, will be seen plainly that Gov. Brown
affixed only one contingency TO the appoint.
mont--Mr. Walkers resignation; and il
will also be seen that he clearly contem.
plated that Mr.. Thompson should have
been consulted.
The onus Of the suppression of the
commissioners thrown wholly on Mr..
Walker. His alterlhought about Illegally
about any thing That would restrain him
from consulting MIR. Thompson--ls all
mere bubble. No discretion was left to
Gov. Brown. A governor has no power
to refuse 10 accept resignation. The
resignation will be seen TO be complete;
and Mr.. Thompson's commission was full
and indispuiable evidence that it had
been accepted. Gov. Brown, it is true,
committed the laundering absurdity of
pretending to delegate discretion over the
matter after completing the official act
But that delegation was the VOID part of
the transaction; not the appointment ---
The Governor himself had no discretion,
much less the power TO delegate discre.
ton. lie had no choice as TO accepting
or refusing the resignation, and after ma.
king the appointment, he had no power to
stay or recallit,
No nice argument or qubbIe-no spe
cial pleading relieve Mr. Walker
from the suspicion that he destroyed the
commission only because il came, not for
the Indian agent for whom he was so sire
nuous, and who had bis "qther views,n but
for the man who had frustrated their
schemes by his bold opposition, and whom
of all Others the Indian intriguers had
most cause 20 hate. This is the motive
public opinion will assign him.
As TO Gov Brown, he has only to thank
his own doube-deaings and attempts to
conceal and deceive, after the agitation of
this matter, that any blame is TO be attach
ed TO him concerning it. BY his own
choice he has told so many different sto-
ries of the subject, and has so often pro.
fessed to give foil and frank disclosures
which turned out afterwards NOT to be full
and frank disclosures, that we know
not when he does speak the truth. One
thing we individually know--he has not
given ALL the correspondence on this
subject, as no processes; or at least he has
moi given other letters which he has shown
TO honorable men as belonging to this cor.
respondence, and which he assured them
we're genuine. IL this sentence meets
his eve, he will feel It's truth, and he dare
not contradict il.
We have no more to say We have
gained all for which we ever contended.
We are sorry we have had to drag out
what honesty would have revealed volunln'
ry. lSehf'Hei
