llurrah for repudiation We have the
money in our pockets; why should we take
it out to give to others?
Hurrah for reputation! We did not con-
tract the debt. 1t is true we got the benefit
of it in paying our lawful and necessary
debts; but as our servants had no authority
to take the money, we may as well keep it.
Hurrah for reputation. Those fellows
who sent us the money were a set of asses
let us give them lesson SO that they will
know better next time
Hurrah for reputation. California has
the reputation of being State where honor
and honesty are unknown; and if we have
the name shall we not have the game?
Hurrah for repudiation We never hall
want to borrow any money abroad; so it
matters not if the credit of our State be
ruined.
Hurrah for reputation! The act nav in
jure the credit of all our sister St tes and the
nation at large, but who cares?
llurrah for reputation! Our creditors are
chiefly nasty oreigners, and have no richt
to take money from such noble people as
the Calitornians
llurrah for reputation. Our creditors
are brokers and stockholders they rob other
people and why should we not rob them?
llurrah for reputation. The Republican
party has already hoisted the black har:

Hymn to the Setting Sun.

The following beautiful lines are the produc
tion of the late and much lamented Robert Gil
fllan, and appeared originally in the Glasgow
University Album:
Sun of the armament! planet of wonderment!
Now thy far journey of day it is done;
Still art thou parting bright-sheddng immortal
light
Down ON thy throne of night.-IIail! setting
Slowly thou depart'st away-far from the realms
of day
Lingering in pity on summers loved bowers,
Thy last ray is streamng-thy farewell tint gleam-
ing;
Yet soon thou'lt return to rcfreshen the flow
crs.
Thy parting brings sadness; yet nation in glad
Are waiting to worship the-fountain of light!
Wherever thy footsteps be, there do we beauty see
Thou kindlest day in the dwelling of night.
Where sleeps the thunder, there dost thou wan
der;
Down meath the ocean deep, there dost thou
stray;
Kissing the stars at morn-high in the air up
borne,
Skirting creations far verge on thy way!
Grandeur and glory-they travel before the;
Brightness and majesty walk in thy train.
Darkness it flies from thee clouds may not rise
to thee,
When thou awakest from ocean again.
All own thy intiuence-kindly thou does dispense
Blessings DER nature. where ere its bounds be-
Africs lone sdesert, it blooms at thy presence;
And Lapland is turned into summer by thee
Time cannot conquer thee; age cannot alter thee;
lcars have no power to limit thy sway;
Strength and sublimity-stl they attend on thee
x.Pilgrim of ages, but not of decay!
Sun of the armament! planet of wondcrment
Now thy far journey of day it is done;
Still art thou parting bright-shedding immortal
light
Down on thy throne of night Hail! setting

Mountains of California, which purports to
have been taken from "Carver's Trevels" in
America. As what was then apparent Terra

A little to the northwest Of the heads of
the Messorie and the ST. Pierre, the Indians
further told me, that there was nation ra-
ther smaller and winter than the neighboring
tribes, who cultivate the ground, and, (as far
as | could gather from their expressions) in
some measure the arts. TO this account
they added that some of the nations, who
inhabit those parts that lie to the west of the
Shining Mountains, have gold SO plenty
amongst them that they make their most
common utensils of it. These mountains
(Which | shall describe more particularly
hereatter) divide the waters that fall into
the South Sea from those that run into the
Atlantic.
The people dwelling near them are sup
posed to be some of the ditlent tribes that
were tributary to the Mexican kings, and who
fled from their native country, to seek an
asylum in these parts, about the time of the
conquest of Mexico by the Spaniards more
than two centuries ago.
Amongst these mountains those that lie
to the wesi Of the River St. Pierre, are
called the Shining Mountains, from an in
finite number of crystal stones, of an amazing
size, with which they are covered, and which,
when the sun shines full upon them, sparkle
so as to be seen at a very great distance
This extraordinary range of mountains is
calculated to be more than three thousand
miles in length, wi hout any very consider
able intervals, which | believe surpasses
any thing of the kind in the other quarters
of the globe. Probably in future ages
they may be found to contain more riches
in their bowel than those of Indostan and
Malabar, or that are produced on the golden
coast Of Guinea; nor will except even the
Peruvian mines. TO the west of these noun
tans, when explored by future Columbusses
or Raeighs, may be found other lakes rivers
and countries, full fraught with all the nee
essares or luxuries of life; and where future
generations may find an asylum, whether
from their country by the ravages Of lawless
tyrants, or by religious persecution, or re-
luctanty leaving it to remedy the inconveni-
ences rising from superabundant increase
of inhabitants; whether, | say, impeIled by
these, or allured by hopes of commercial
advantages, there is little doubt bpt their
expectations will be fully gratied in these
rich and unexhausted climes.

"Hurrah for Reputation"

Others may desire to call it by another

against being c!assed with them. "Repudia-
