Vote for Charles Brown, and he will explain the ludicrous process by which he craftily managed to get from President Franklin Pierce, a fat 30,000 dollar Philadelphia office. 30,000 dollars. 30,000 dollars. Vote for old Charles Brown, and he will explain how a man of honor can remain within the Union lines, advocate secession, take the Union oath, and electioneer to represent Delaware in the loyal Congress of the United States, at a time like this, when Jeff Davis wants his services in Dixie.
