We give the above simply as the
opinion of the Herald, without endors-
ing its views. We have always been
opposed to any law that was calculated
to make scoundrels. We believe n
bankrupt law does this, and therefore
we are opposed to ii. We believe there
could bc law by which honest men
could be protected, and yet pay their
Indebtedness. But we are opposed To
a law which gives TO scoundrels the
right of rcpudiation.-ED.]
