CooLIE LABOR. = 1t is not generally
known that California is q slave State, yet
such is the fact if we denominate as "slave
State" that form Of government under which
slavery is allowed. The Coolies, of whom
there are o great number, are entirely
owned by other Cinnamon, and required
absolutely to do their bidding; the profits
Of these laborers, beth male and female, 60
to their masters.
We hope that the matter will be forced
by the mechanics and laborers upon the
Legislature and the evil be rcmedied. A
citizen Of the South is not allowed to take
bis slaves to California because the Con
stitution prohibits this character of inyolun
tary serVitude, aud we do not see why for
eigncrs should be allowed greater privi
lege than our own citizens. The Coolil
degrades the honorable labor with whicl
he competes, and the wages of bis labo
are distracted from our own country to en-
rich Asiaties who have neither interest no
identity With our people or institutions.

EURoPE ON AMEMCA-The secessioniSts
anticipated aid from European Govern
ments, when the news Of their action should
cross the Atlantic, but so far from this be-
ing the case, the press of both England
and France condemn the movement almost
with bitterness. 1t has long been the rul-
ing theory of European politics to properly
adjust balance Of power" that is to say
to allow no one government to acquire
such strength as to threaten or absorb the
liberties and independence of an inferior
government For this, the whole of Eu-
rope united against the FIRST Napoleon, for
this England and France united against
Russia to prevent the diSmemberment Of
Turkey. Europe plainly foresees that il
the great power Of this continent dies, that
oil questions Of commerce, authority and
conquest, will be subjected to the arbitra-
ton of the sword-dangerously arraying
the European sympathies with trans-At-
lantic affairs against each other, thus jeop-
ardizing the peace Of the world.
Besides, with the downfall Of our coun-
try, also goes with it great proportion of
the worlds commerce, ftOm the pursuits Of
which would be Withdrawn its main force to
engage in protecting the discordant States,
and instead Of people, in the sunshine Of
peace, prOsperOusIy engaging in commercial,
agricultural aud manufacturing pursuits,
under one government as we were united
lately-they justly fear to behold the his
tory of the South American Republics re-
enacted in civil war, with Anglo-Saxon
blood intensifying the tragedy.

Assault ON Gov SrEvENs.-By request, we
publish the refutation of charge against
Gov. Stevens, with the following statement
The charge was started in the Atlantic pa
pers at an early stage of the late PreSden'
tial campaign, for political effect, but was
promptly refuted by gentleman who went
to the Departments, ascertained the facts,
and gave them to the public in the letter
annexed to this article. 1t was immedi-
ately abandoned by the party press in the
Atlantic States, but was repnblished on
this coast, and never met the eye of our
delegate in any Of our papers until lately
This letter We copy from another sheet:
WASHINGTON, Sept. 2s, 1860.
Forsyth, ex-Minister to Mexico, (who
figured rather unfavorably in connection
with certain golden images and cruci6xes
in Mexico, in his paper, the Mobile Regis
ter, and little Banks, of the Cincinnati En-
quirer, charge Gov. Stevens, Of Washing,
ton Territory, with being defaulter, when
in fact tho Government is indebted to Mr..
Stevens, as the accounts, when settled, will
show. These accounts are unsettled, a.
are the accounts of hundreds of other dis
bursting officers of Government 10 whom
Government is indebted. We have inquir-
ed at the fouutain-head, and find that Gov.
Stevens accounts, which are complicated,
will soon be settled, and that Government
will be shown to be indebted to him from
$500 TO $500.
Gov. Stevens will, in due season, exhibit
to the public the falsehood aud malignity
Of the despcable slanderers who are now
so meanly assaiing his fair fame.
