GENTLEMEN: desire to say few words to the peo-
pie of Mississippi through the columns of your paper

las from which have not vet recovered is the reason of
my being detained here at this time From what can
learn, for week after the attack, my life was de-
SPARED Of.
not able to attend in my place in the Senate from
that time to the end OF the session This was very
tifyng to me, because there several questions
which | DESTROYS to have recorded my vote, viz :
the three million bill, measure that much in ia
Of was also very anxious to record my vote against
the resolution to expe Mr. Richie from the floor OF the
Senate There was also bill in which the eastern por
ton OF the State was interested, and which, had have
been in my place, should have endeavored to have had
amended, though my colleague Judge Chalmers, informed
me that impossible to effect any amendment TO the
bill in the Senate alude to the lighthouse bill. As it
has passed, II made appropriation for two light houses IN
Bank There should have been at least one more and
that at Mississippi city, if have been correctly informed
and now pledge myself if alive at the next session of
Congress- to all my energies to have erected at
that point and elsewhere, if necessary feel truly
ry that important point has been omitted. During my
affection, have received many letters on business, all of
which must go unanswered and neglected for | am not
able to attend to them Nothing affords pleas
than attend to the requests and private interests of
those of my constituents who may, at any time, feel dis
posed to call for my services
One word more, and am done. We engaged in a
war; not in opinion brought on by the misconduct of
time, in person. before the people of mississippi Should
there be democratic convention al Jackson, this
mer, il is my intention to attend and if agreeable, to
take up this question from the beginning, and
deavor to excupate the President from all blame to its
origin. We have recently had several plans of
pagns laid before Congress by the politicians For my
part | can see but one which can bring the to
honorable and speedy termination that is, vigorous
prosecution of it. uniting sufficient force, and marching
at to the city OF Mexico To effect this, am ready
TO vote any amount of men and money. In adopting

not stop to inquire who is in the fault In war, "My

Truth Is great and Will prevail.

The maleyolent deiamers of public men have
fabricated an infamous faIsehood in regard to OF the
abIest and most unexceptionabe characters that has
presided the Treasury Department They have
reported that the Hon Robert J. Walker was concerned
with Messrs. Corcoran Riggs in their offer Tor the late
oan that through him they apprzed OF the various
offers which made, thus enabled to secure the
greater part of the loan, and that the Secretary was to
participate in whatever benefit might result from the
speculation. This grat,atous, base, uatounded
SANDER, 1citout Shadoy Of truth and should be de-
nounced by all honorable men.
Corcoran & Riggs among the first who made pro-
posals for the loan the proposals were never either
Withdrawn or altered, and no proposal Of any conSm.
cradle amount made until after the reception of
theirs; upon examination er proposal was found TO be
the most favorable for the government and the
greater part OF the loan was consequently awarded to
them This statement, tchict true 10 the letter and can
not be controversial etecually gives the lie 10 the
generous suggestion OF fraud and fully excupates the
Secretary from all interested and improper action in the
premises
Secretary Walker was in no wise concerned with Cor
cOran & Riggs the transaction either direcy tndt
recy; communicated with them on the subject ex-
cept to receive their proposals. and knew nothing OF the
offers which made, until 1t became his Off
cia duty to examine them All persons were notified OF
the required Loan had equal chance to participate in
it. requested 10 make their proposals, and no one
received any peculiar favor or advantage.
If these facts not sufficient to protect the Secretary
from the malicious aspersons both of personal and pot
ical enemies, the time not far distant when will be
considered unworthy otan honest to labor for the
public.
The fact probably is that Corcoran Riggs had more
confidence IN the integrity and OF the govern
ment than other adventures in public sockswere more
intelligent calculaors OF coming events and if they
justly entitled to the benefit of their superior
Secretary Walker came into office unconamnated by
modern degeneracy; he has discharged the du-
ties of his high station with fidelity and almost unpar-
aeled ability, and has given the most satisfactory evil
dence of Distinguished talents aGtcsmdn The services
he has rendered his country and his official integrity,
will to him, forever the benedciions OF grateful
people; and at the close of his evenu public career he
will retire to private life ac an unJem,shed reputation
