SALE OF THE BONDS.

II is confidently asserted and elieved
that when the commissioners Of the Union
Bank were in the act Of negotiating the
bonds, at least one of them was advised by
Gen. A. G.. BRowN, then being at the
north, that the terms Of sale, eventually ac
cepted by the commissioners, were such as
would be conformable to the charter, adyan
tageous to the state, and should therefore be
accepted by the negotiators on the part Of
the bank. Is not this soi Will Gen.
Brown deny III We have heard it in such
manner asserted as to convince " Of it's
truth.
Gen. Browns subsequent willingness
that his own notes should be lodged 10 the
Union Bank in exchange for . portion Of
the money obtainedby the salsof the bonds,
proves that he could have entertained but
slight scruple as to the legality Of the sale;
for how could he, as an honorable man,
have borrowed money which he, as pro-
found lawyer! knew 10 have been obtained
by means SO improper and fraudulent a. to
involve the necessity ola refusal to repay it,
on the part of the state the priacipal obIiga>
tor in the bonds,-Statesmas.

butcher looked at it, and asked the price; the

IS you did for the calf you lost, as think
his is full as large " The butcher would
lllow it BY no means to be as good, but
ave MIN wi hin six shilIings Of what the

second timo across his horse. Crispin, Ella
ed with his success, understood to steal the
alf for another glass Of grog, which, being
greed, he posted to the wood and hid him>
