NJ Ioaclyo In ths chair
Ansf some time,
The committee rose, and reported the bIII
with an amendment thereto, which report.
On motion or Me- Jossclyn,
Was received.
Mr Stewart, of Kinds then moved that the
bin be rccomntlod to a select committee of
five; whenupon,
The yot. was taken by yeas and nays,
And decided in the affirmative.
Those who voted in the affirmative, arc,

Ial-1l.
In the negative %.
The chair thcreupon appointed Mossrs.
Stewart, of Kinds, Ghoson, Foote, Minter,
and BROWN, Of Gopah, said Committee"
From the above it will be seen that Genl.
Brown voted for reference 10 a committee,
the act TO extend additional privileges TO the
Union Bank-and was himself made one of
it, The committee afterwards reported the
bill to "cxtend additional privileges TO the
Union Bank" which then passed both Hou
ses, and was returned with the veto of the
Gov. The bill required the Governor to exc
cute and deliver to the Union Bank, Bonds to
the amount of TEN MILLIONS FIVE HUN
DRED THOUSAND DOLLARS for its use.
The bill was, as before stated, vetoed and re-
turned by the Governor to the House for its
further action. The annexed extract from
the Journals, shows the fate Of the bill and
the position occupied by Gen. Brown:
"The bill to be entitled, San act to extend
additional privileges to the Mississippi Union
Bank" accompanying the foregoing message,
Was taken up,
And put upon its passage by ayes and noes,
as provided for in the constitution,
And passed by constitutional majority OF
two-thirds.
The vote is as follows:
In the affirmative, Mr.. Speaker, Messrs. Ar
mat, BROWN, of Copiah, ct. al .-45.
In the negative l3."
The above extracts prove that General
Brown regarded the Union Bank as consttu-
tional. that he was willing to give Its mana
GERS control over ten millions five hundred
thousand dollars more of the bonds OF the
State, the proceeds of which would have been
souandered like those already negotiated
But Gen. Brown has given additional testimo-
ny that he regards the Union Bank as constl-
tutional, by his application for, and obtaining
discounts, for himself to the amount OF -Four
teen Thousand Dollars, and assisting his friends
through the credit of his endorsements to OBJ
tain the sum of $4,000. But there IS one
good reason why Gen. Brown should advo-
cate the reputation of the Union Bank Bonds
He owes the Union Bank $4,000 at this time
-repudiation will reduce the value OF the
notes of the Union Bank, and thus enable the
General to pay his $4,000 with trifle'
Independent voters of Mississippi, 1t is no"
for you to say whether or not this corrupt
and inconsistent politician shall rule over you
He has violated your Constitution which he
was sworn to support--he has borrowed thou
sands of dollars from the bank, paid 1t out 10
