which think equally as justifable in expell-
ing the Chinese from California, rs in commit
ting their favorite weed to the waters of Boston
Harbor. As another illustration, he says that
in political rs well as those ailments which
the individual is subject to when the disease
becomes chonic, ii is necessary for the medi-
cines to have time to work their proper effect
Not being disciple of ofEsculapius, / will merely
present common opinions on doctors and then
patients. In the incipient stages of disease,
timely and suitable agents administered pre-
vent protracted sickness, which, in our polit-
ical and social indisposition, has been neglect
ed, BY our astute political pretenders, and they
have let it run until it has become chronic.
and frequently, in such cases, the patient has
to undergo surgical operations to remove tu-
mors, excrescences, &C., and even amputation
OF limbs, which, in many cases, is attributable
to malpractice of the physician and in order
to save the life of a patient who has swallowed
poison, the stomach-pump has TO be used
which is the case in California. We have taken
deadly dose of Chinese, and our mining COM
munity must pump them out, as they UNDER
stand the principle of applying the pump to
the best advantage, just as our political con-
dltion is the result of reckless ignorance and
corruption in our legislators, and it is even
sometimes the case that the doctors are blamed
for keeping their patients sick about as long
as they think their money will last, even as
our State government seems to wish to act in
the case of the Chinese, to encourage and pro-
tect them for the taxes they pay into the treas
ury, at the expense of the health of their
patient (the miners of California; who arc
already sweating at every pore, with excru-
.infi IL
hit on a new plan to get their pay from the
patient-while it indirectly costs them their
fortunes-which is to tax the cause of their
sickness, by collecting it of Cinnamon. Now
it is well known the best way to cure sickness,
is to remove the cause, which our legislative
doctors have omitted to do, and will, probably
until the '!patient" makes desperate effort
and removes the cause himself as he appears
to be arousing himself to just consciousness
of his situation.
Miners, | admonsh you to be no longer
duped by political quackery. Have you not
still stamina enough left to strangle the mon
ster? Then make the effort and acquit your
selves like American Freemen? Be no longer
the dupes of designing demagogues and their
interested satellites Organize in every mining
district, and pass suitable resolutions IN ac-
cordance with your own views and rights, as
well as the laws of humanity and Justice in
reference to the Chinese and give them plainly
to understand that they must leave the mines
within some definitely specified time. By the
time our Legislature or Congress will drag
their slow lengths along, to do the requisite
work to effect relief to the country, the
mines will be worked out and it will be then
like locking the door after the horse is stolen
Miners, it devolvcs on you! Then ACT
Would to Heaven could arouse the miners
from Kern river to the klamath, to the proper
appreciation of the subject is the ardent wish
of 4 MINER.
