From the above il will be seen that Genl.
Brown voted for reference 10 a committee,
the act 10 extend aiitoaai privileges to the
Union Bank-and was himself made one Of

bill to "extend additional privileges to the
Union Bank" which then passed both lIou.

Gov. The bill required the Governor to exc
cute and deliver to the Union Bank, Bonds 10
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

as provided for in the constitution,
And passed by a constitutional majority of
two-thirds.

discounts, for himself to the amount of Four
teen Thousand DoilarS, and assisting his friend
through the credit of his endorsement, to OBJ

good reason why Gen. Brown should advo-

He owes the Union Bank $4,000 at this time
-repudiaton will reduce the value of the
notes of the Union Bank. and thus enable the
General to pay his $4,000 with trfe.
