viewed by with feelings Of alarm for the future

ests for the following reasonS:-
lst, That the general employment of an interl-
or race, is degrading to the hardy sons OF toll who
are ever the bone and sinew oil any country, and
in this, have made it the great wealth producing

have been induced to spend the savings of years
of labor, in bringing hther their families and
making themselves homes, which will become
useless to them il thrown out of employment by
the competition OF Chinese labor
3dly. That the general introduction Of Chinese
labor will put stop to immigration from the
sister States and from foreign shores. substituting
