The Company has been systematically

ed With anonymous circulars, teeming with
barefaced falshoods respecting the Company.
We desire, therefore, to hold up the au-
thors and abettoss Of these attacks upon the
Republic Insurance Company to the scorn of
all right-ahinking men, and appeal to the
people of the West to give the Company their
support and patronage, not only on the
ground of superior merit, but also for the
better protection Of your private interests,
the encouragement of right against wrong,
and the promotion of the interests Of the West
in general.
You can now obtain from the Republic

compelled to pay Eastern companies when
they had you in their power. THEREFORE, as
question of economy merely, you can no
longer afford to send your money East 10
