CALIFORNIA AND THE CHINESE.

The New York Courier publishes letter from a
correspondent in California, from which we take the
following extract, dated San Francisco, June
The interesting position which California now occu-
pies in relation to the empire of China furnishes theme
worthy of more than passing consideration 1t is sub
ect demanding reflection than the rash citizens
State have condescended to bestow it, while taking
most important and decided action in reference the
pulsion of the Chinese emgans The excitement which
was raging through the mines at the sailing Of the last
steamer has already died away but not before De-
mocratic and eradc Governor, backed by thoughtess
men all the mining country, had taken measures
which cannot fail to check growing intimacy with the
Chinese Called forth by the Governors special
message to the Legislature demonstrations made
many points in the mines, denouncing the Chinese
"buresques humanity" and all concerned in transport
ing them hither fit panders Satan and his host In
many cases the people have expelled the harmless Cees
the Their claims have been taken from them they
have been notified to quit the country and manfestoes
have been written and translated into Chinese for cca
lation in Asia, warning the Ceesals that they would
not be permitted to emgrate hither in future We
not doubt that all these precautions will be eecual
on the tmd race against whom they directed, any
more than believe that the cordsai thus far
promising between them and interests in China
will not thereby be seriously checked.
"Our citizens have acted in this with the
want Of foresight which has characterized the greater pro-
portion of our legislation, well the demonstrations
against all other foreigners who have been prosecuted

LETTER OF A TRUE WING.


About the time of meeting of the Wing National
Convention in 1848 the Hon. TRUMAN SMITH
wrote TO Gen. SooTr stating that either Henry
Clay, Mr. Webster, Judge Mclean, Gen. Taylor,
or Gen. Scott would probably be nominated for the
Presidency; and inquring, among other things,
whether, in case Gen. Taylor should be nominated,
|he Gen. scott would support him. Here is the
REPLY;
WASHINGTON, JUNE 3, lS46.
DEAR SIR hasten to acknowledge the honor of your
letter OF this date admit and feel all the force of the
public views you have laid before me.
Until within few days had not supposed that my
name was at all likely to be brought before the Wing Ma
tional Convention to meet in Philadelphia to
select candidate of the party for the President of the
United States.

flor the high distinction in question, shall, Wing,
feel myself under every obligation that bind citizen
to his country, and give to the nomnewhether he be
one or the other Of the four distinguished with
which mine is associated by you-al the moral influence
and support it may be in my power rghtfuly to exert
and ought not to doubt that all Wings win be equally
patriotic and earnest in the same good cause.
Reciprocating the personal friendship with which you
honor me, remain, my dear sir, faithfully yours,

Mr. WEBsTER's SPEECH to the immense congre-
cation of the people of Massachusetts, assembled on
Boston Common Thursday, was full of veneration
and love fasahe old Bay State, and of every thing
but discon.ent with the recent dongs Of the Wings
of the Union, to which there is but one remark that
be construed into the least recognition that such
an act as Presidential nomination had taken place.
Perhaps the tenor of the whole speech may have
been suggested by the popular verdict upon his
claims as the Representative of Massachusetts,, and
of that broad and national spirit for which that
nowned Commonwealth is celebrated by him in a
strain worthy of the theme and of the orator. But
its principal object seems to have been, and such
was its evident effect, to cause the fire of liberty
and patriotism and hearty loyalty to the Union to
burn brighter than ever in the throbbng hearts be-
fore linn. And there are passages which must have
made the heart of the Massachusetts man dance in
his bosom, yet without word of disparagement to
any other man or State, modestly surrendering all
claim to State superiority, and forgetting his own
exalted merits, and not Extensively remembering
those of his old constituents and friends. We see
no intimation of separate organization either in
the speech or any of the proceedings.

ron THE NATIONAL NTELLIGEsoER.
| have seen in the public prints the proceedings
of the American National Convention which as
sembed at Trenton, New jersey on the 9th instant,
from which it appears that was nominated as a
candidate for the Office of Vice President of the
United States. No official communication Of the
fact has been received by me, and if any such was
made it has miscarried My name having been thus
UNEXPECTEDLY presented to the country, | cannot
longer consent to remain SILENT and therefore adopt
this mode of responding to the nomination
am highly honored in being deemed worthy of
such distinction, and by having my name associated
with that of the eminent and reyered citizen select
ed by the Convention for the Office of President of
the United States
The Baltimore Wing Convention has presented
to the nation as candidates for the same Offices the
names of WINFIELD SCoTT and VIM. A. GRAHAM.
These nominations received my cordial assent, as
they will my jealous support
/ have been on terms Of friendly intercourse with
Gen. SoorT for twenty years, and esteem him for
his spotless character, and his frank, manly, and
courteous bearing. respect him for talents often
severely tested, but which never failed him UNDER
the most trying circumstances; and | admire him
for his military services, by which the character of
his country has been elevated at home and abroad,
and been equalled by those Of no man living or
dead since the days of the Revolution.
He has freely shed his blood in maintaining the
honor Of his country and her rights His patriotic
devotion to the Union conservative principles, and
firm support Of the Compromise measures, cannot in
my belief, be questioned without doing him great
wrong and injustice
Mr.. GRAHAM is wholly unexcepdonable, being
respected for his talents and esteemed for his viz
tues by all who know him.
Entertaining these opinions of the candidates of
the Wing National Convention, and being fully and
willingly committed to their support constrain-
ed most respectfully to decline the nomination Of
the American National Convention.
