I am all over for Brough the union Candidate for Gov. & I am of the opinion that all Union men are.

Gov. & all his cry is that Negroes wont fight & cries out in bitter language against the arrest of Val. [Clement Vallandigham] & order 38 issued by Burnside prohibiting treason... He does nothing but growl, growl all the time. I hope he will be arrested... "
