ability to manufacture the best description of

wishing to purchase, to the established reputa-
ton their brand has acquired in the Southern
Mines, and wherever introduced, for its purity
and superior quality.
They would take this occasion to inform their
friends and the public, that having added to the
premises, Fire proof Brick Store-House, 40xs0
feet capable of storing 600 tons grain-im-
proved and perfected the machinery of the Mills,
their increased conveniences enable them to
confidently guarantee every sack of Flour BRAN

To Merchants and Farmers, they would add
that they continue to pay particular attention
to grinding all kinds of grain. In conclusion,
they would respectfully refer all those unac-
quainted with the Mills, to the principal Mer-
chants of Stockton and the Southern Mines

Repudiate or Endorse?

BROOKLYN, Alameda CO., May 18th, '57.
Ed1or Bulletin -" Reputation is a hateful
name for hateful thing. But what is this So
caled reputation of our so-called State debt !?
State is a political persona name for a
great partnership, the members of which are the
people composing the State. The Legislature
Is the acting agent of the company, and its let
ter of attorney, the power under which it acts,
Is the Constitution. Those who trade with this
company through this agent, are as much bound
to know that power as are those who deal with
the agents of any other partnership or individ-
ual. They can easily ascertain it, for that
power is given to the world in a most public
manner The Constitution goes wherever our
paper goes, and year by year the financial con-
dition of this partnership is published to the
world. See Sec. %, Art " of the Constitu-
ton; also, Art. VIII, with Sec 16 of the Sched-
ule.
Now, the debt you and the Legislature call
on US to endorse, and warn US not to repudi-
ate, has in large part been made up in open
defiance of this constitutional restraint, and has
been made to, and with, as well as by, men
who knew that it was in direct and open viola
tion of that restraint The contracting parties
were fully aware of this, and relied upon the
gullibiity of the people, or, as you call it, "the
honesty of the people," to carry out these con-
fuse to pay these fraudulent demands-but if
Drexel, Sather & Church should give their
power of attorney to an agent, and he should
go out and contract liabilities wholly beyond
the power they gave him, and for his own pur-
poses or to serve his friends, who would call it
reputation for Drexel, Sather & Church to re-
fuse to pay such debts? Is not that parallel
case2
Were the question submitted whether we
would pay so much of this debt as arose from
necessity, or so much of it as should be found
equitably due for the benefits the State has de-
rived from these contracts, there is not man
who would not cheerfully endorse it. But as
1t stands, Jumped up in a mass of millions, four
ffths at least of which has injured rather than
benefited the State, to pay it would be paying
q premium for knavery, bonus for fraud, and
millions to encourage our servants to steal from
our treasury to buy the means of keeping them
selves in power.

wake up to their own interest, or be for ever

thence as | can. In this county, reputation OF
such debt is all the word / can hear Our
people will not stand it. They pay, and cheer

full share in honest gold. But let all, politi-
