Mr.. EDITOR "A writer in the Bulletin says
it seems to me the day is gone by when an hon
est servant Of. the People is properly apprecia-
ted. A set of men get together, who declare
that the present incumbent shall no longer re-
tain his position, irrespective of his quallifica-
tons and his good report 1t would be super
fuous tor me to reiterate what our present rep
resentative, J. W. Denver, has done. In con-
tradestinction of almost all of those we have
heretofore sent to Congress, his acts are appa-
parent and speak for themselves. we know
he has acted as a true and honest guardian OF
our rights. Therefore, it devolves on every
true Californian, who has his country's interest
at heart, to rebuke those old political hacks
who have ostraoised him, and who desire only
the distribution of the loaves and fishes among
a certain clique. Let those political hucksters
know that the People are sovereign, and will
prevail, by sending J. W. Denver back to Con-
gress Let this be proclaimed through the
mountains, and the miners will go for him to a
man; for we know him to be the miners friend
and an honest man. A MINER.

KEEPING SRCRETs-Constantly | see quoted,
as if it were very excellent lesson in morals,
the maxim, "Never expect another to keep a
secret which you cannot keep yourself The
maxim is the concentrated essence of selfish
ness and falsehood. To receive secrets, to hold
them sacredly, and use them wisely in inter-
course with the depositors, is the highest Office
of friendship. The power to keep another's
secret better than your own is one OF the surest
signs of noble nature. The very impulse to
confde--the eagerness OF the ''o'er-fraught
heart to relieve itself-is suggestion that
another will keep its secret for it. and love the
more, and not the less. All friendship, that is
worth the name, is q giving and receiving of
condolences. Ny friend is one to whom can
| show myself as am, without reserve, sure of
| his sympathy and counsel. hope he viii find
me as ready to give-as 10 take II tas commerce

| have me do, if he could ente. ny mind and
regulate my thoughts. + 5y iasieht or ooser-
walton come to know what nave reason to
believe he would not have me know, or If, IN
| moment of excitement, he himself tells me
what when sober fear he would wish blottef
from nv memory-then / will hold such Sc
cret more guardedly than even one which ne
has formally intrusted to my keeping am
never afraid of knowing too much OF my
friend am sure / can get more readily at
his worst than at his best; and my happiest
hour is that when look up to him and think
him nv superior. Ii he were not noble
should not have chosen him--if he is, will
trust in him, though he slay me.
If YOU find this philosophy to hlgh-strung,
then look you to it quickly, and make up your
souls accounts-for the falt is in you, and not
in the philosophy.-1Mts Magazine.
