most sincerely believe "ncgro slavery" in
this State, would be vastly beneficial to every
white man here, be lie rich, or be he poor. biy
reasous, in part, are as follows: ~ ".@'. "a

consume comes from abroad, and II absorbs all
our money to pay for it, consequently prevents

would have permitted our Southern planters to

The great bulk and primitive repository OF
cold in this State lies in the quartz rock. and at
the present price of labor it is quite impossible
to deyelope it, as it requires ten rails OF labor to
produce eight rails Of gold. One thing is cyl

am in favor of introducing slavery into this
State, under proper restrictions, prohibiting
slaves from working the mines, and combining
them to the tilling of the soil and mental servi-

once change the entire Sacramento Valley, Chat
repches to the foot hills Of the Sierra Nevada
4 from a barren waste TO luxuriant fields OF pas
turs, grain, and all agricultural productions BY
this system of agriculture, all a miner requires
Is produced in his immediate neigbborhood and
he will be enabled to get his living as cheap
here az at home. Here, then, he will, by his
/ labor in quartz mining, make as much clear
saving on three dollars per day as he can now
