straightforward official answers to official letters; and as we conceive it to be one of the duties of an honest journalist to expose such irregularities of administration, especially when they produce effects such as Governor Hennessy's system has continuously revealed, there is no special cause for regret in this case. As for the phase of Sir John Hennessy's official conduct which was said to be revealed, that cannot well be gainsaid. Let all the documents, however, be treated with the same publicity as have the other papers out of which this difficulty first arose; and, as we have said, if they prove us to be wrong, it will be a relief for us to find that the public and ourselves had for once judged erroneously or been incorrectly informed as to Governor Hennessy.—E.
