Immigration of Negroes.

1t appears by the recent vote had in Oregon,
that the people of that Territory have declared
most soemnly that they do not desire the negro
population among them in any character what
ever. The vote upon the question, ''Shall we
have Free Negroes" was decided negatively, by
a heavy majority
We always thought that the Bill introduced in
to the last Legislature of this State by Mr.. Burch
" to restrict and prevent the immigration of free
negroes and mulattos 10 this State" should have
become a law. Most of the free States have al
ready been forced to pass a similar statute tc
prevent being ovcrrun with this character of pop
ulation, and our next Legislature should act
we shall be flooded by negroes from all the
States ours being the only one permitting their
immigration. if not in the Union, at least on the
Pacific coast.
We have often wondered, in reading the de
bates on our Constitution, that this provision
was not introduced in our organic law. 1t should
have been. and while the question of slavery
would thus have been once and forever settled
in our State in having excluded this class of pop
ulation both free or slave, the influence upon our
national councils exerted by our Senators and
Representatives in Congress would have been of
a most conservative and beneficial character-
Then might California have been pointed to,
whenever the slavery agitation should threaten
the Union, and our institutions as an exemplar,
and her disnteresied judgment serve to silence
the storm.
1t is not too late yet to assume this position
and we hope that no time will be lost this winter
in the passage OF this saluary law. The eXigen
cy of the times demand it, our own safety re-
uuires it, and we must confess that we were
greatly astonshed that the Democratic party
which was so largely in the majority in the last
Legislature should have failed in the passage o
measure which is so much in keeping with theil
professions.
