Fayetteville (NC) Observer, "Brown's Gang," November 17, 1859

BROWN’S GANG. – The Salisbury Watchman very properly calls attention to the fact that the candidates for office in Brown’s gang consisted of four Democrats and four Republicans – not a solitary Whig. This is quite a sufficient reply to Democratic abuse of the opposition party South, which is quite as sound on this question as the Democratic party at the South, and far more so than the Democratic party elsewhere.
