It Is a fact well known to all the
^people of Georgia, and to no one bet

Ex-Governor Joseph E. Brown was
largely defeated for the United Stales
8enatorihip by the legislature of
1868. It is likewise well known to
all, and to no one belter than to Gov
ernor Colquitt, that Governor Browu
has ever since been anxious for this
honor, and has steadily ,-watched the
chance whereby he might enter the
United Slates Senate, and ihal the
chance has been as steadily refused
him by tho people of Georgia through
their chosen representatives. Not a
notice or comment lias been made of
his recent appointment to this highest
office within the gilt ot our people,
without allusion being made to this
the highest and longest cherished am
bition of Governor Brown. Then we
ask the houetl and intelligent )ieople
of Georgia if there was not an abund

indubitable evidence that Governor
