GEN. A. G. BROWN. OF COAHOMA
Some weeks since we stated in an editorial article that Gen. Brown, in conjunction with Col. Buckner Haynes, had "permitted the private feelings to predominate over political principle, and thus presented themselves in the attitude of traitors to the democratic party." We have since received satisfactory information that General Brown did not take a stand against Col. Gholson by causing tickets to be printed without his name, &c., as we had been informed he did; we, therefore, cheerfully relieve him from the imputation, and at the same time express our regret that incorrect report betrayed us into error.
If Col. Harris did not use his influence against Col. Gholson at the last election, he may also receive these remarks as apologetic in his case.—Free Trader.
