Stewart OF Kinds, Ghoson, Foote, Mnler,
and BROWN, Of Copiab said Committee"
From the above it will be seen that Genl.
Brown voted for a reference 10 committee,
the act TO extend additional privileges to tho
Union Bank-and was himself made one of
it, The committee afterwards reported the
bill TO "extend 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, "An 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 constitu.
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
squandered like those already negotiated
But Gen. Brown has given additional testimo-
ny that he regards the Union Bank as consti-
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 has endorsement, to OBJ
lain the sum of $4,000 But there is one
good reason why Gen. Brown should advo-
;ate the repudiation of the Union Bank Bonds.
lie owes the Union Bank $4,000 at this time
will reduce the value of the.
totes of the Union Bank, and thus enable the:
General to pay his $4,000 with trine.
Independent voters of Mississippi, it is now
or you to say whether or not this corrupt
md inconsistent politician shall rule over you.
lie has violated your Constitution which he
vas sworn TO support-he has borrowed thou
andS of dollars from the bank, paid it out to
he toiling yeomanry of the land, and imme-
lately cried out in favor of reputation, hoping
hereby to render the money worthless, so.
