—Marietta Jkihmate. XTr-ialny INlorniaijj', .July SBO- The Confederate Lom. Many persons wish to havc'explainvd to them or need to explain to their neighbors, the plan of the Confederate Loan. From the Speech of Vice-President Stephens, lately delivered in Augusta, wc extract the passage below which presents the proposed plan clear ly before our people. But while the bloc kade continues, Cotton cannot be sold. To show how such a state of things is to be met, we extract from a communication in the Charleston Mercury. The two make the whole question nnd intelligible. . Extract from Mr. Stephens’ Speech. I now will read to you. just at this part of proposition upon which I. ■rfU.lli mku f>’ r < wish every gentleman to n donation ; the to control the proceeds of your Cutton. The • Government proposes to give you a bond • Amr ing eight per cent, interest, paying the j ■SgJHjiest also, semi-annually. It is not a gift' jfcjor donation, but simply your surplus cotton, j ’'•as much as you cun spare. This is the pro- ■ * position: “We, the subscribers: agree to contribute ' to the defence of. the Confederate States that portion of our crop set down to our respec-, tire names ; the same to l>e placed in ware-| house or in the hand of our factors, and sold on or before the next.” Fix the day of sale as soon as you please; ; the first of January, the first of February, or the first of March, if you please ; though I «m aware the Government wishes y< u to sell it as soon as convenient; but let each planter consult his interest, and in the meanwhile consult the market. But to proceed: “And the nett proceeds of sale, we direct to be paid over to the Trea-urer of the Con federate StatesJor bonds for the same amount, bearing eight per cent interest.” There is the whole of it. The cotton plan ter directs hisc >tton to be sent into the hands < f his factor or his commission merchant.— lie only tells the G ivernmentin the snbserip tiqfr^r*~p*'r-i,in he can lend, lie directs it sold, and the proceeds to be invested in ' Confederate B mds. I understand that a Committee will be appointed before this meet ing adjourns, to canvass this county. Every ~ planter, therefore, of Richmond county, will be waited upon an 1 afforded an opportunity t > subscribe I wish, therefore. to say to That •Committee, a id every b >dy, subscribe.— I prefer your putting down, first your name,, second, the number of tales, and 1 preferyf>n u putting down the proportion of v mr'erop, I ' want, especially, the tales, but Lke also ;o know it vonr crop, L-t every Is Ay, those |9k hh sinwH. crops -as well as large, gire"evi in this of their patriotism. andJL* m that puts down, but two his more, and 'j. z r X* who grows half ' • ■ ■ te-^y an wh> ’ «>ftheir ifrop.’tiMTbe two b or one hundred bales, or live Inquiries have been made of me. and I take' this opportunity to answer them : “Whether these bonds will circulate as money—will debts.” Ou this point I wish no are not intended as currency: they are unfitted t < answer the purpose of circulation. The bonds are larger than this paper. (A letter sheet.) The obligation is <»n the upper part of it. and the whole of the lower part is divided in’o forty squares or checks. In each one of these checks the in terest is counte I fur each six months for twenty years. . These checks ire called cou pons. Shi all the party h >1 ling them has to di is every six months ip off the lower c >up >n, send it to the Treasury, an 1 get his interest. The b >:id is not suitable to carry in yutir pockets-book and use. It would wear one It i 8 intended to represent a fixe 1 capi tal, or permanent investment—just so much us you can spare from your cotton crop.— That is all. Instead of your putting your surplus in lands, negroes, houses, furniture, useless extravagance or luxuries, just put it in Confederate B inds. But while I said it was not intended to cir culate »r to pay debts, I have not the least doubt that anybo ly wb > will sell his ?rop en tire for bonds, will find no difficulty in getting the m >ney for them, for they draw inteiest, than money; and any man note wi 1 give it up and take a bond. a note draws but seven per cent . and this draws eight. I have no do ibt that all minors and trust property will soon be invested in it. The entire amount of private funds in the State of Georgia on private 1 >ans. I suppose, is ten or twenty mill'o ;s of dollars at seven percent. All that amount will immediately find its way into thesj bonds, and hence a planter who sel.s his entire crop, and uses money, can get it from the money-lenders on these bonds. 1 have been frequently asked if these b >nds were goal. Well I want to be equally frank upon that point. If we succeed, if we estab lish our independence, if we are not overrid den, if we are not subjugated, I feel no hesi tancy in telling you it is the best Government fttock in the world that I know of. It is eight per cent., interest; and if wc succeed, in « short time, in a few years, if not more than - one hundred millions, or two hundred mill- ions are issued, I have but little doubt they will command a considerable premium. The old United States atncfc taix [ter cent, bonds, J five years ago commanded fifteen and sixteen per cent., and went as high as twenty per cent Take the Central Riilroad. The stock of that company commands fifteen per cent., premium nowi These bonds pay eight per cent, semi annually 'therefore, if there is a 7 short war, these bonds very soon will com mand fifteen or twenty“pe'r cent: but candor also compels me to State that if Lincoln over runs us—if w<s art subjugated, these bonds will not be worth a'single dime, and nothing else you have will be worth anything. If we are overrun, they will be worth just as much as anything else you have, and nothing else f you have got will be worth anything.— (Laughter.] So that is the whole of it. From the Charleston Mercury. The Administration-—-Its Cotton Policy. The present plan of the Administration is simple, plain and direct; any other plan should be equally so. Let us look at the po sition of things. The Government needs many millions of money for the pay of the troops and the pur chase of arms, ammunition, food, clothing and equipments, for the soldiers—-horses for the cavalry, ships for the navy, and all the other things necessary for the public defence. It has called upon the cotton planters to supply this money. They have cheerfully engaged to do so, and have pledged o.:e-half of their growing crops for the purpose, whenever they can sell them. They have promised to pay to the Government, from the sale of their crops, say one hundred millions of dollars.— - But, if the blockade continues, there will be no demand for their cotton. The Govern- -ament. does not wuui - times trffirt than o(her people waZt at home- The Government eaunmrWd aujfcclotbe sold- iers with raw cotton, nor manufacture arms I nor build ships with it. It wants money for I the cotton, and there is no market in which j the money can be had. The planters could not sell what they have pledged for one-tenth of the sum they arc expected to raise. They could not realize ten millions from the sale of their crops at home. The Government needs, say one hundred and fifty millions. It is, therefore, in that case, useless and fatal to re 4’ upon the sale of the crops for revenue. — Tlib 'sale of the crop must be postponed. Now all the planters will have done .heir duty. They will have done what they could. The blockade will have defeated their patriot ic efforts to provide the Government with money. It is evident that some other class of the community must now step forward to provide the Government with what it wants, j It only wanted the mmey to buy arms, am- • munition, food, clothing, ships and the other material of war. Those who manufacture arm*, ammunition and clothing, who produce food, who build ships and provide the other , matci id of war, must come to its help. Let; t cm now take their places for the defence of . the country. The Government must now ap ' peal to them as it did to the planters. It must call upon them to furnish the things ■ they make and produce—the arms, ammuni tion, food, clothing, &e., .tv,, upon the same terms that the planters offered an 1 pledged their crops. The Government must receive >fwiii4bem _wfiat thejtaloue can furnish, an 1 pay for these, say Treasury Notes of a small denomination, rlrawfh cun circulate as money, to defray their and or.e half in Bands, to secure the i capital on which they work. And arc the planters not to do anj thing? By no means. Let them keep inviolate their ‘ pbdgea of half their crop. Let each planter , furnish a statement of the amount of crop pledged, and the proceeds of the sale of which | will be subject to the order of Government.— . Let them step forward and say, that, out of ' the sabs of these crops, whenever they can sell them, they promise to furnish the Government i with the means to call in these Treasury | Notes, and to pay these bonds which have been taken in payment by those who have ■ furnished supplies, &<j., to the army, and in that way restore the country as soon as pos sible to its natural currency, and trade to its legitimate methods. They thus sustain the credit of the Gov- . ermnent arid secure the payment of its bonds ■ and the redemption of its notes, and give to . these notes the value and the character of money. In this way, every class of the com munity will have done its duty, and all the ; resources of the country will be combined for • its defence. The planters first offer their I ; money, if they can procure it from the sale of tfieir crops. That failing, those who can furnish food, clothing, and the matcridl of war, oficr what and receive in pay bonds apd*’ notes, for the payment us ■fiwfh and the resources of the Gov 'hrnpieTit\re pledged. And then the planters i again MM fora aid and pledge their crops i to sustuiji Ule faith and swell the resources us , th6 GoveriHiient, and to redeem these bonds ; apd notes whenever the shackles of the bli.ek >ade "tire removed. Let this "spirit animate i Ve need not tear what the future may bring us. » »ll FROM VIRGINIA. Correspondence of the Marietta Advocate. j FAIRFAX, C. 11., Army of the Potomac. ! July 13th, 1861. i Mr. Hint— Dear Sir: — You see that I am now on the ! extreme Eastern limit of Beauregard’s army. 1 Washington City is but fifteen miles from ■ here, and the enemy in considerab'c force is | entrenched at Falls Church fire miles off.— , We can hear their morning reveille on a still i morning. ' Fairfax, C. 11., is an old town, and of con- , siderable size Many of the women and children have left for the interior, and every thing around you betokens the existence of active warfare, and the near proximity of the foe. Picket guards ,of infantry or cavalry, either going out on duty, or returning, wet [ 1 and wearied, and often with a prisoner or ! ■ two, are constantly seen marching through ; the streets. Troopers with heavj glitering . sabres, and perhaps covered with mud, who ; have ‘'Cen acting as scouts or couriers, meet i you hourly ; while the dictant rattle of the i drum or the bugle’s martial blast is heard i I from every quarter. The streets, stores and hotels are filled with officers, soldiers and strangers. You have no idea what a golden harvest merchants in this part of the country and in Richmond have reaped. They have sold out nearly everything , and at douhle prices ! It is useless to ask for a hair or tooth brush, for a comb, fur a piece of soap, or for a hundred other articles, when you enter a Store in this part of the world. Anns of all kinds are ex orbitantly high. In Richmond, I could not buy a medium sized revolver for less than S 6) 00! Bowie Knives made of files and ! saws are fashioned at every Blacksmith’s forge. All hope of peace lias vanished ! Th ere is no doubt aoout it, —we have before us a tre mendous and bldody war. Let no one think of peace, but shape all his plans and expec tations in reference t > war. What is the true a pect of this strife? It is simply, only, and wholly this: one half of the old Union is attempting to conquer, sub 1 jugate and crush out the i.tlier half! By an I accident, as it were, and through the infamy ! of one man. Gov. Hicks of Maryland, the old Federal Capitol, Washington, is in the hands of the Northern half. We say with perfect truth— half is pitted against half. Califor nia, Oregon, Ac., have little or n ithing t> do with this war. There is to be a Pacific Ri public ov' r there. The descendents of the Puritan and R >und heads are attempting to enslave the descen dents of the Cavaliers and Ilugenots. They have always been distinct and antagonistic races, and they are so now. The first Union was a necessity for defence against common enemies, for we were then weak, and had a | population of but 3,030 0)0, Bith sections ; ■ are now strong, and the first Union is fi r this , i day an absurdity The working o. the tariff , system alone would make it ho. A high pro- , tective tariff enriches the Nortlr, and impov erishes and degrades the South, —and the ' North Irnowit! Simple jn. lice requires a I separation, and the Yankee knows it! But! the Yankee is determined— if he can, to en- I gh bof iXttt! becoming tw M>e\waee et thuq j world. Its area was <-qiia! to the whole us j Europe, including Russia, —i. e. 3,000,000 square miles! With a population of 60,000,- 000 its power would over-shadow the earth ! and this population would soon have been reached. Justice to other nations requires here two or more republics or empires, and, shall we n t say it ? An Allwise-Providence is working out this necessary end. But the Yankees harp vehemently upon the j sacred nature of the old Constitution and ; I’nio.', the glorious work ol our fathers, &e. ' It is the most miserable twaddle in the world. The old constitution was the work of men's ! hands, and the work of men’s hands is never , perfect, and seldom lasting. Our hit hers were fallible mortals as we are, and without the experience and enlightenment of their descendants. It was impossible for them to foresee eighty years ago, what would be the ■ condition of tho world to day. It was impos- ! sible for them to act for the present genera tion, and we are not bound by their action.-- ' But reasoning and argument are unnecessary j now. the issue is upon us, r and the present necessity is action. Let us ACT! The miserable drought heie isover at last. Within a few days we have had the most a bundant tains, and the weather is delightful ly cool. A great battle is expected herdtit any mo- ; merit, and all the machinery of a stupendous I war is moving on around me with teverish in- . tensity. i Yours, truly, r K. 'i F«r tire Marietta Advocate. Mr. Editor More than one perhaps, in this community, feels that every capable man <who is not now in the field, ought at least to be^preparing to go. Are t! ere not men j enough itb-tilld around Marietta, to form a | large and efficient military company ? Will any »ne say what is the use of it, unless we expect to go into immediate service? What is thi\ use of doing nothing ’every day, and 1 all day lung, but talk t rer the an demoralising to do nothing in s luanj wh . l{ev geney. We submit that wheth j er may be his profession qtgj er he be an artizan, m<q a s.>i preacher, ought to be liere I are some of us who know about mil itary duty, who would to have an op- j portunity of being drilU l . We have no idea ' of a company Jorni"! al home. But the questions when we shall go into service, and where we shall go into service may be i laid over, for a little while. The first thing i is to put ourselves in a condiJon to defend oar own homes, and our common country.- We know not what may be before us in the future. We know not when some, if not all of us may be imperatively needed to fid up the ranks of our arn y, as they shall become thinned, in the progress of this murderous and atrocious war. We know not blit as the seasofi' ad vances, we stall be called on to de fend againstduvaaion, our own beloved State. Let us to arms then, and not sit supinely while others fight our battles. We may thank God that it Is a cause in which every one may gird on his weapons with a clear conscience, and with a joyful sense of His approval. One word more, we have no idea* of a halting hal:-way, Jiseielit but wc wouldTiave a ei inpany largo in num- I bers, efficient in discipline, a:id high in spir- I it not confined to middle aged m'en, nor to any ' particular class. Cannot such a company be speedily organized in this place ? Arms \ soinesort can surely in some way be procured. PARATUS. WAR NEWS 1 —-—m The Great Figlit at_ Manassas !—Brilliant Victory The Enemy Completely ICout- Man.vssas Junction, July 20—10 o’clock I’. M. Victory perches upon our banners. The army of the I’otomac, under the command of , General Beauregard, gave battle to the enemy to day at Bull’s Run, four miles from Manas sas Junetii n, in a Northwest direction, and three miles to the left, of the Alexandria Rail road. The enemy attempted to cross the ford at several points in great numbers, but wore repulsed by our brave and determined troops three times, with heavy loss o’h the enemy’s side. The enemy retreated about | 5 o’clock in the afternoon in confusion, two of I our regiments pursuing them. A large num ber of them have been taken prisoners. Ou our side, the casualties are few. Yesterday the enemy appeared in force at Fairfax Court-House, when, after exchanging a few shots with them, our troops, retreated to Bull’s Run, Gen. Beauregard preferring to give them battle there. The General was hurrielly sent for and quickly came to the scene t>f action, when he ordered the retreat, which has proved to be a brilliant strategic movement. At first our troops were much displeased, believing the retreat had been ordered by some junior officer ; but when they are learned that the order emanated from their' General-in-Chief they were perfectly satisfied, having in him unbounded confidence. The regiments engaged in this brilliant and successful battle were the first Virginia, seven teenth (Alexandria) Virginia, the Mississippi and the Louisiana. All of our men behaved with the utmost coolness and fought like the disciplined sol diers of a Napoleon. It would be invidious to single out the troops from any particular State as having exhibited qualities not found in all. The conduct us our gallant little army (never before under lire,) on this occasion surpassed all praise. For steadiness under a most galling tire, indifference to their peril, good order and precision of aim, history may be ransacked in vain for a parallel. The enemy outnumbered them in the proportion of three to one. The Washington Artillery, of New Orleans, were at an early stage us the battle given an opportunity of displaying their high state of ellimeney and m irksman ship, and they abundantly justified the repu tation of the battalion. An eye-witnes says at every fire they made a wide gap in the enemy’s ranks. The First Virginia regiment, (Col. Moore’s bore the brunt of tho action, the killed and i wounded on our side being chiefly in that ! regiment, as I have already informed you per i telegraph. Col. Moore himself was wounded soon after the battle commenced. When be ing unable to co jtinue at the head of his men, j the command devolved upon Lieut. Col.-Fry, i aided by Major Skinner and Adjutant Mitch ; ell, who inform me that the bullets of the I enemy came like hall. lie naw eleven of his 1 men wounded i|t one volley. Capt. James K. I tally WuuudCtK -While 1 write, ho in Htiit ii, j but nut cspccwl to survive the morning. The enemy is variously reported ts have ]ost fiom five to fifteen hundred—the former probably being nearest the truth.. The Alexandria Rillemen are said to have particularly distinguished themselves, having crossed the ford in the face of a terrific fire • from the enemy’s artillery, and fought hand I to hand with the Yankee hirelings. Cant. Dulanv, of the Fairfax Riflemen, was' I. f * j seriously wounded. Lieut. Javius, ot the Mount Vernon Guard, of Alexandria, was ' seriously wuutule 1. Win. Sangster, ot the i Alexandria Riflemen, was killed. Oncol the enemy's Colonels wask lied by a squad of Col. Kershaw’s second South Caroli ' na regiment, his horse shot, and $703 in gold found upon his person. The enemy will doubtless return to-morrow with reinforcements, being exasperated by. . their humiliating defeat. — Richmond ) Dispatch, -Oth mst. SOUTIIERV CONGRE-JS. Richmond, Va.

When tho Augusta Arsenal was taken by Gov, Brown, it contained about 22,000 stands of arm*. This was immediately after the secession of the State, and before her con nection with tho S mthern Confederacy.— She was then sovereign ami independent of he world. Gov. Brown, sometime after the arsenal was taken, when lie had a perfect right to control it, ordered out of the Arsenal between seven and eight thousand stands of arms which lie found in it. Part of these were distributed at the time among volun teer companies, and Jpart place 1 in the Ar senals at Savannah and Millelgeville. All the balance of the guns were left in the Au gusta Arseiijil, and were there when the State Convention assembled at Savannah in March.' The (' invention at that session pass el an ordinance requiring the Governor to turn over the Augusta Arsenal, with other property lately in the po.-sassiotiof the United States, to tiie Government of the Confederate State.*, with all the armi now ( it the time of the passage of the ordinance.) in the Arsenal. The w >rd • now ” was italicisid 11 show that the Convention only authorized the arms then in the Arsenal transferred, and did n >t re piire tho G worn ir to transfer those which he had previously taken out. These, it was intended, should be kept for tho use of Geor gia troop* going into service. After the pas sage of this ordinance the Governor sent a c >py of it to the Secretary of War, and offer el to turn over the Arsenal and arms as di rected by the ordinance. The Secretary of War t!ica appointed Maj. Cumming, an offi cer in the Cmfederate service, to receive the possession of the Ar.senal and arms from the Governor. He visited Milledgev-ile and pre sented to Gov. Brown his authority from the Secretary of War* to act for him ; whereupon Gov. Bro wn turned over to him the posses sion and keys of the Arsenal, with all the arms in it. Since that time Gov. Brown ba* never had the keys, nor has he had any ni ire control over the Augusta Arsenal than any other citizen of the State. The arms which were in the Arsenal have, from time to time, been shipped by thousands to Virginia and Tennessee, under the orders of the Secretary of War. As many as-1.0)9 were ordered b.V the Secretary to Tennessee in one lot, and it is believed the President and Secretary have ordered the last one from the Arsenal to the borders of theConfedeiacy. Over this m ittor Gov. Brown lias not had the slightest control, as the ordinance of the Convention of Geor gia had taken the Arsenal and the guns out of his possession. This plain statement of facts answers the question so often asked by Gov. Brown’s ent'mies": “ Whr.t have become of the arms taken in the Augusta Arsemfl?” They have gone into the Confederate service under the orders of the Secretary of War. But it may be asked what hap become of tlje seven thousandx>u|xff the Arsenal by Gov. Brown, prior to the passage of the ordin'antfe which turued-the Arsenal s over to the Confederacy. The answer is pluin and truthful. The last one of lias the service of the Confederate of Georgia volun them :ts ate irnw in the hands of the sohillt the F "’ lrth Bri 9 a k ’ at Camp McDonalLif have beeu tc'n dered with the mewto Brigade is now subiect to his ’otrl ■* time when he wishes it. Nit onlyn jllJiflWw '■fho’tt*ands of arms purchased by the and indeed all'she had, except n >w in the- hands of Volunteer the few that are being gathered tip from disbanded companies, have keen sent, into the service of the Confederacy. > Gov. Brown has sept the following Regi ments and Battalions, armed, accoutred and equipped, into the service of the Confederate States, commanded by the persons mention ed : Ist Reg’ment Volunteers, Col. Ramsey. 2d “ “ “ Semmes. 3d “ “ . “ Wright. 4th “ ■ “ “ Doles. sth “ “ “ Jackson. 6th “ “ “ Colquitt. 7th “ “ “ Gartrell. Sth “ “ Mercer. 9th “ “ “ Goulding. 19th “ “ “ Anderson. 11th “ “ “ Brumby. 12th “ “ “ Thomas. They are numbered in the order in which they have g >ne into service. Col. Williams’ Regiment of Regulars, not numbered, makes 13, and the two battalions, one at Pensacola and tho other Virginia, commanded by M.ij Hardeman, taken together, equivalent to a Regiment, makes 14 in actual service. To these add Gen. Phillips’ Brigade of two Regi ments, and three battalions, equivalent to 31 Regiments, which are armed and equippe I by the State, and are tendered to the Presi dent, and it makes 17}. Add to these two new Regiments ordered out upon the coast to take the places of C'Js. Williams and Semmes, which aic now being organized, and arc to be armed and equipped by the State ; and Col.T. R. R. Cobb’s Legion, also armed and equipped by the State, equivalent to- a Regiment, and it makes 20} Regiments sent into the Confederate service, armed and equipped without calling on the Confederacy •fur anything. The above estimate, it 1 will be seen, does not include any of the Independent or Con federate Regiments from Gqjjfgla, which are tendered directly to the President and are armed by him,except those companies wh’c’.i, in violation of the orders of the Commander in-chief and in disregard of the authority of their State, have carried off the arms of the State These Regimetits leave the State inde pendent of State authority, and, as they are not sent into service by Gov. Brown, they are not armed ami equipped by him. It is thought proper that troops diregard ing State authority ami tendering their ser vices directly to the Confederacy,should look to the Confederacy fur supplies. When Gov. Brown sends a regiment out ol the State, ho sends it fully supplied with guns, tents, knap sacks, haversacks, cartridge boxes, cap pouches, bayonet scabbards, blankets, camp kettles, canteens’ and a supply of provisions sufficifint to.carry it Wits place of destination. It is a tiuth u hieh will not be questioned that the Governor of no other State in the Confed eracy has armed, accoutred and equipped, and prepared for the field 20 Regiments with out expense to tho Confederacy. Even Vir ginia, whoso soil is invaded bw so. many thousand troopsj has nut, it is cofifidehtly be lievedj fully armed and equipped, as much as 20 Regilttenls at her own expense for the Held.

She got a mWVI larger t.umber of guns than Georgia did ami while sl.d ha* acted nobly, she has not sent to the field 2t) Regiments, armed and equip ed nt hir own expense. Gov Brown has issued an order requiring volunteer companies in the State to tender for the war if they keep thetr guns, and he has also appointe<Lthe clerks of the courts a* agents in dlff rent parts of the Slate to collect together all old State arms, scattered among the people, and has bid a re ward of two dollars for each old flint and steel musket which may be gathered up and sent in. Ho Ims arrangements made to have them altered to percu*Ficn lock, and repaired so as t> be fit for use. By these means he hopes to be able to arm three or four regi ments in a month or two more.

He commenced in time, and got info the r tate more saltpetre and sulpher than has been imported by all the other Confederate States together. He now has enough to make seveial hundred tons of powder, which he has tendered to the President fur flic Con federanv. All lhe powder and pall, shot ai d shell, and all the heavy guns pUt upon Fort Pulaski to secure it againstaftawk, have been furnished by Gov. Brown and not by the Co nfederacy. When the President Was in great need of cavalry aims in Virginia, soon after he went there, ap licition was made to Gov. Brown, who loaned the President five hun dred new Sharp carbines, worth ovcri‘3o each, with plenty of cartridges, which are low in the service of the Conteleraey. The Gover nor has al-o purchased and got into tlui State, a suffi i< nt quantity of lead to moot any emergency that may arise. Gov. Brown's as ailants will not venture to deny any of the facts above stated; He is willing that his acts speak for themselves, anti wishes to be j;i Iged by what he has ctJie, and not by what enemies soy. Let his ene mies, if they can, compare acts, and print tp the man who, firitlxthe same amount of means placed at his command, has done more f<»r the advancement of our glorious caus*. He no fear that the honest ntfisses of the peopjfr nf the State for whose benefit he has long labored, wilLfail to sustain him now, against the opposition'of. office seekers, place hunters and wire working politicians; who assail persecute him becausp he will not lend him self to their ambitious projects, and disregard Kis official obligu/ions to carry but their sei •fisK, plans. Such inch have ’-fought Gov. Brown all t|fe time find will continue to fight their opposition, Knen a matt is hear? hourly abusing Gov. Brown, if the people will pains to look into it and Onquite, they will usually find that he or some onC of bis particular friends has failed to get the Governor to carry out sune <>f his plans at the expense of the State, or that he has failed to get some office, or in some other way his personal interests have not been served'.
