Mr 5oslclyn In the chair
Alef some time,
Tie committee rose, and reported ,ho bill
with an amendment ihsreto which report,
On motion Of Mr. Jossslyn,
Was received
Mr. Stewart, Of Ilinds then moved that tho
bill be recommiued to a select committee Of
five; whereupon,
The vote was taken BY yeas and nays,
And decided in the affirmative.
Those who voted in the affirmative, are,
Mr.. Speaker, Armat, BROWN, of Copiah, ct.
ALL
! In the negative %.
The chair thereupon appointed Messrs.
Stewart, of Kinds, Gholson, Foote, Minter,
and BROWN, Of Copiah, said Committee"
From the above it will be seen that Genl
Brown voted for a reference 10 n committee,
the act to extend additional privileges to the
! Union Bank-and was himself made one Of
liz. 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,
ttt,,ti mi of
two-thlrds.
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 constltu-
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
suuandered like those already negotiated
But Gen. Brown has given additional testlmo-
nv 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 his endOrsement' 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
B, -repudiation will reduce the value OF the
J., notes of the Union Bank, and thus enable the
General to pay his $4,000 with trife.
Independent voters of Mississippi, it is now
n for you to say whether or not this corrupt
and inconsistent politician shall rule over you.
He has violated your Constitution which ne
= was sworn to support-he has borrowed thou
y sands of dollars from the bank, paid 1t out to
the toiling yeomanry Of the land and lmme-
is diatey cried out in favor of repudiaton, hoping
D thereby to render the money worthless SO
