pounded by the Democratic Association Of Norfolk
county, as to whether you are member Of the Know
Nothing organization You say,
al answer, at once and oategorically, that am not
a member Of that organization"
This answers perfectly satisfactory to the extent
that it gives al undoubed assurance that you are not
member Of the Know Nothing organization; but it
does not, necessarily, permit the Inference that you
are opposed to that organization.
BY making public whether You favor or oppose
the Know Nothing organization, YOU will oblge more
than ONE DEMOCRATIC VOTER.

THE SHASTA COURIER
The Chinese Question.

Texas SPRINGS, Shasta Co., Dec. Is, 1854.
MEssRs. EDIToRs CoURIER.-We are led to
believe. from the frequent communications met
with, that the Celestials are secunng no incon.
siderable attention in this portion Of the State.
This is well, as their sojourn amongst us is adj
mitted to be an evil Of no small magnitude, free
discussion of which may result in suggestion
Of some security for this evil.
The first question that naturally presents itself
is, where are we to look for remedy China
men have been admitted to our territory upon
principles contemporary and coextensive with
our institutions, and, like slavery, may be an
evil, but an evil sanctioned by usage and by law,
and hence cannot be absolutely removed except
we begin at the foundation, and abrogate those
usages and laws for this special purpose.
This would be looked upon as inconsstant-
as much as for Congress to enact law to re-
move the Slaves from South Carolina.
Many persons are disposed to look upon the
California legislature as the source from which
the healing stream is to flow. Now it does not
occur to us that the California Legislature has
any right to absolute action in the case-to say
to John yon shall or shall not come into our ter
ritory.
The Legislature has already used its power to
an enormous extent, in imposing the present
onerous capitatlon tdx-for it is little else
heavier than is imposed by any government of
which we have any knowledge at present. The
Legislature may have power to impose these
taxes. but will that eradicate the evil? 1t would
be folly for Legislative body to pass a law bear
ing actual negation upon the face of it, as
would be the case, in our opinion, were a law of
DOSitlye Drnhlhltion IN mass that hodv
Suppose. however, that the fountain Of power
be found-what remedy shall we seek? Are we,
who have ever boasted Of our humane reception
of all strangers-Hindoos, Africans, and Kama
kas not excepted, who are prepared but now to
transform the latter into good loyal cotton grow
ers on Uncle Sans plantation, prepared to say
to the Ceestials. we know you not
1t is said they cannot become naturaliZed cit
izens-are not eligible to the benefits of our in
stitutions.
What inducement, therefore, have the China
men to make a permanent investment of the
money, SO much of which they take out of our
State
The protection they receive under our laws is
sufficient to induce them to leave as little as pos.
sble.
The foregoing is not display of sympathy
for the Celestials. for permit us to say, if there
is anything we dislike above all others, it is a
Chlnaman. we nniy seek ilSnt, and nope we
may find it, as we observed in the beginning, in
free discussion.
We look upon civil remedy for this evil as
very remote. violent one as dangerous in itself
and dangerous as a precedent, and final cure
as next to impossible.
1t is probable that, if % Jeffersonian" would
imbibe another "decoction of green tea" he
might be able to conjure up the spirit of some
Solon or Lycurgus TO minister TO the present
great emers ency.
Respectfully. KARL.

HEAVY VERDicT.-A number of months ago.
says the Union, communication appeared in
the columns of a religious paper, published in
San francisco, and called the Christian Adrocate
of a character which has just been pronounced
by jury to be libellous. 1t was exceedingly
malicious in its nature, and evidently penned by
one actuated with the most vindictive feelings
The article referred to, reflected outrageously
upon the plaintiffs in the case, whose characters,
up to the time Of the appearance of the article.
were above reproach. A suit was therefore
brought by the plaintiffs, George Thatcher and
wife, against the publishers Of the Advocate. In
the course Of the trial the Rev. nj. G. Briggs ac-
knowledged himself the author of the commu-
nication complained Of. The jury gave verdict
for the plaintiffs, assessing the damages at 3d.
600. We regret that the jury did not assess the
damages at a mere nominal amount. Mr.. Briggs,
the Rev. hbeller, 10 the man who should be
made to suffer in this case. The Offensive COM
munication was written in a style and manner
similar to the correspondence OF that blackguard
sheet, the L Ljfe IN Bostos.

THE CUBA QUESTION AND CUBAN PERILs.-In
Blackwoods Magazine for October there is
letter from Madrid, under date of September
l4th, covering over six solid columns in the New
York Herald, devoted to consideration of
Spanish politics in connection with the Island of
Cuba. We have not time to give even synop-
sis of it. and will only quote the closing para
graph, which is in the following words:
"Whilst contemplating the gloomy, or at least
uncertain prospects of the Spanish treasury,
am forcibly reminded of Cuba and Of American
proposals for its purchase. | have not heard a
statement of the exact amount the States are
disposed to give: but have been assured, on
no mean authority, that it would suffice to pay
off the whole of the debt, home and foreign, and
that handsome surplus would still remain for
roads and railways Besides these advantages,
Cuba once sold, Spain might safely reduce her
feet and army, for she then would have rea-
son to apprehend war with the United States, as
she at present has none to anticipate aggression
or interference on the part of any European
power. Relieved of her heaviest burthens, and
blessed with an honest government, (if indeed
it be possible that such endure in a country up
on which the curse of misgovernment seems to
rest, )Spain might soon and easily forget the loss
of that cherished colony, whose retention, un-
der present circumstances, is more question of
pride than of profit and to whose loss without
compensation she must, | fear, by the force OF
events, be prepared sooner or later to submit"

MEssRs. EDIroRs Here is the place to get
rich quick. l am now setting near the bank
where small company Of miners dug hive thou
sand dollars in six " eeks. On the other side OF
the mountain is Mad Mule, where the miners
have found slugs weighing from nine pounds to
the top Of the mountain. The digging here is
very deep. l have a good mind to call upon
Hercules for help, but fear he would reply to
me he did to the wagner: Put your own
shoulder to the wheel, you lazy fellow, before
you call upon me-" l have made calculation
how long it would take me to throw the earth
off of this side of the mountain, and get all the
gold. have ascertained that it would take ex-
actly one hundred and fifty years and three quar-
ters, with the right kind of shovel. But then
perhaps gold would deprecate. l wish it
would depreciate now, before do all this dig
ging. Ifstone coal were to become the circula
ting medium, would be all hunk, as know
where there is mountain of COAL and no earth
upon one side of it; or if | could tell where the
gold is.deposited, would have but little trou
Bile.
What in the name of goodness, Mr. Editor,
are all those fortune tellers and spirit rappers
doing in San Francisco Come up in the noun
tains, dear Miss rapper, and amuse your friends
by rapping out sluss as big as your fists. Show
me where there is hat full Of gold deposited
and will give you half We will build yon
pretty cottage in our neighborhood, in Harka-
way. l will describe harkaway to you. 1t is
in deep vale, surrounded by mountains, where
no sound is heard but the meeting of the waters
of Stud Horse, Modesty and Grizzly Clutches, in
viting to peace and repose. Here the
home of tribe of Indians, but now it contains
only four miners cabins. You will find it beau
tiful place to live in. From here we will visit
the opera every moonlight evening. We will
also pay visit to that dreamy place now called
"Trapper's Barr and | will introduce you to
my particular friend, "vox Populi.' We will
go to Shasta sometimes. The Shasta people will
be very polite to you, when they know you have
plenty Of gold Every ounce of gold lady pos
sesses in Shasta, is considered seventeen and
quarter charms. Do, dear Miss Fortune-no.
should have said pretty Widow Fortune, or Miss
Spirit Rapper, or Miss Medium-do pay
visit. We will receive you with bended knees
and palpitating hearts, and will be your aztec.
