This aggregate is less than the face Of the
Congressional Grant by $50, 40 acres.
In the collapse Of credit which closed the
year 1867, the railroad interests foresaw a
postponcmcnt, apparently inevitable, OF the
sanguine expectations which had ushered a
summer Of activity Nor were the public
unaware Of the nature Of the obstacles, thus
suddenly intcrposed TO the contamination of
projects, 80 dependent upon the favorable
aspects Of the financial world.
The suggestion was at length made, that
the state Of Minnesota was adequate, by
the use Of the public credit, to prevent a
Suspension Of these important enterprises
Then followed winter Of active discussion,
resulting in the submission Of Constitu
tional Provision authorizing the Loan Of
State Credit 10 the Land Grant Railroads.
On the 10Th Of April, 1853, the Amendment
was ratified by large popular majority.
LOAN or STATE CREDIT To RAILROADS BY THE
STATE oE MINNESOTA.
For the purpose of expeditns the con.
struction Of the Land Grant system OF roads
in Minnesota, special issue of the bonds Of
the state is authorized, bearing interest at
seven per cent. per annum, payable semi
annually In New York. and which mature
on the LIST day of December 1883, or twenty
five years from date. The amount issued TO
each company cannot exceed twelve hun.
bred and fifty thousand dollars, and the
total issue ia limited n an aggregate amount
of five millions Of dollars.
These bonds can only issue IA construction
advances, at the rate Of twenty thousand
dollars per mile Of completed road according
to the Executive Interpretation OF the law.
The 81, 900, 900 Of bonds than can only is
sue when 62l miles OF road have been con.
structed by each Company, or 80 miles in
all In operation.
BY the terms Of this Loan the State is
completely exonerated from any advances
Of money to meet the interest, and is abun-
dainty secured against any default Of the

THE On
ACARD

Since the Democratic Convention many
friends have urged me 20 become q candidate
for Register aud Recorder, and rendered me
their support. After carefully and dispas-
sionGteIy considering the matter, l have come
20 the conclusion that l will not suffer my
name TO 60 before the voters Of the county,
for that ufice.
| do this not IN accordance with the dtcta-
ton or request of any mau or men, bat
contrary to the wishes Of many warm person
al friends, but because | am o Democrat and
will not suffer my name to be used TO the
detriment OF the party. / am for the ticket,
and the whole ticket.
JOHN N. HAYES.
Oct. 8. 1859.
It will be seen by the above that our pres
eut worthy Recorder is too true a Democrat
to suffer his name to be used to the dctriment
Of the party, or to build up disaf.cton Or
assist others in doing so. We have felt con
hdeut tina, il sir. Huye5 should camly ree'ot
on the consequences Of being a candida te,
that he would pursue tho high mined honor
able course he has douei and that after sui-
fering his name to go before the Democratic
Convention, and not receiving the u]onina-
ton, that his high sense of honor, a. e man
and a democrat, would not let him be a can
didate ia opposition to the regular nominee.
For acting Ia the way he has done be de
serves the commentator and hereafter the
support orthe party, which will doubtless, be
given him.
