One the subscribers Of this letter Is now employed as
clerk in American store because Of the services be
can render them ss broker In business with MS coun'
nymfn. He has sometimes sold $1,000 day Of Chi
nese gods Chy Lung, who arrived feR days since
with some $40 coo In China goods his sold out and re-
turns Tor smother cargo on the Challenge FeiChaong.
who brought In o cargo about month ago has sod OUT
and also returns In the Challenge so does the partner
OF Samwa Of this city, Tuk-Shsong for the same Pur-
pose. For more than year he mas been continually
importing and selling cargoes. sreat many others
send for goods by the Challenge and all the other ships
which you speak Of being expected will bring car
goes Of Chinese goods well as Cinnamon
Nor does this by any give you full idea OF the
trade OF tie Cinnamon. They not ooly freight your
sbips, butthey have bought many OF them and VIII ouy
more and to the freghng Of ships il may be worthy
OF your attention 20 know, that such Is preference
foryour country men, that employ your ships Ia pre-
ference to any otheIs, even when could get them
cheaper. When ship arrives every body sees how &C.
lively and probably your drays, steamboat wagons
&c, are employed By US. Some of read Ia the pa.
pers the other day that the Government of the United
States going 10 send ships Japan open that
country 10 American trade That is what we supposed
your country wished with China well other coun-
tries but IL cannot all be side and l. IA plain that
the more advantages we get from your country, me
faster you will get the benefits of trade. The gold
we have been allowed TO dig in your mines what has
made the China trade grow up so fast Ike everything
else in this country If you want to cheek immigration
from Asia, you viii have 10 do il by checking Asianc
commerce, which supposed from all thai we have
ever known Of your Government the United States
most desired Ia ncIeafe
What your ExceIlency hn said about passing law 70
prevent Coolies shipped to California under contracts
from labOring in the mines do not conceive con-
for there none such here from Cnina, nor
do we believe any are coming, except small NUMBER
perhaps who work on shares. as we have before ex-
plained just people from all other countries some
times do. We will not believe il is your intention to
pass law treating Coolies whether we are so or
not You sag there treaty provision for the manner
in which Chinese emigrsDts shall be treated, and that
the Chinese Government would have no right to COM
plain Of any law excluding US from the country BY taxa
lion or otherwise This may be true Of the Government
but 1t would certainly ALLEVIATE the present remarkably
friendly feelings Of the Chinese people, and IN many
ways interfere with the full enjoyments of the CONNER
cia privileges guaranteed to the Americans by the treaty
of Wang Hya
In what we here say have most carefully told your
Excellency the truth but we fear you will not believe
u.s. because you have spoken In your message OF US as
Asistcs Ignorant Of the solemn character OF the oath
oairmaon in the form prescribed in the Constitution
and the Statutes" Indifferent TO the solemn obss-
ton to speak the truth which oath imposes tits
truth, nevertheless and leave il 10 time and the
proof which words carry in them to satisfy you OF
the fact IL has geved that you should publish so
bad character of u.s. and we wish that you could change
your opinion and speak well of US TO the public We
do not deny that many Cinnamon tell lies, ana so DO
many Americans, even in Courts Of Justice But we
have our Court too and forms Of oaths which are
sacredly respected By our counrymen as other ma
tons respect theirs. We do not swear upon 90 many
little occasions you DO, and our forms will seem as
ridiculous to you yours do TO us when we first sec
them You will smile when we tell you that on Ordina.
nv OCCASIONS an oath Is attested by burning piece Of
yellow paper and the important ones BY cutting
of the head OF q cock yet these are only FORMS and
cannot be OF great importance, we would think. But 10
the important matters good men we honor our
parents i: we take care OF our children are indus
trious and peaceable trade much; we are trusted
for small and large sums; we pay our debts and are
honest and OF course must tell the truth. Good men
cannot tell lies and be ignorant OF the difference be-
tween right and wrong We do not think much about
your politics but we believe you mistaken In sup
posing no Chinaman has ever yet applied 10 be nstu
rallied has acquired domieil in the United states
except here.
There is a Chinaman now In San Francisco who is
said TO be naturaized citizen and 10 have free white
American wife He wears the American dress, and Is
considered man of respectabiity And there are, or
were lately, are informed Cinnamon residing in
Boston New.York and New-Orleans. If the privileges
Of your laws open 10 u.s. OF us will doubtless
acquire your habits your language, your ideas your
feelpgs your morale your forms, and become citizens
Of your country many have already adopted your
religion in their own and we will be good citizens
There are very good Cinnamon DOW In the country,
and better class WILL if allowed, come hereafter
of learning and of wealth, bringing their families
with them
In concluding this letter, viii only beg your Ex
ceency not be hasty with US, to find us out and
know US WELL and then certain you will not
command your Legislature to make laws driving out
of your country Let US stay here-the Americans are
doing good to us, and we will do good TO them.
Your NJ . humble servants,
