It reaNs very much like the advertisements of
slave actions, runaway negroes, bloodhounds,
etc, familiar to our eyes eight years ago.

Chinese immigration, but we must receive the

OWnets and Northern manufacturers would like
to IMPORT by the hundred thousand his labor

AS 20 those Christians who delude themselves
with HE idea that by advocating the Coolie
BUSINESS, they are forwarding the spread of
Christianity, beg to submit that the accounts
from AL our Chinese missions state that the re
portNOf returned Chinese from California are
perseet bar there to the spread of the Gospel
At h@me, make the following extract from the
most Favorable statement of the Sunday School
of ID; Scudder, Of St. Francisco. After stat
ing tkat in the school, reading, spelling, arith-
metlf and geography are taught to Chinese
chhdsen, we naturally inquire what progress
the FseV DIR. Scudder has to report on the sub |
Ject Of Christianity. Here it is
he principal effort now made BY the Su-
periukendent aud the teachers is to instruct
them i'm the rudiments Of the English language |
and morals, tciHoM Interfering nth their re- |
igiOts prejudices"
THIS is copied from long article, written in |
praisy Of the school, in the Alta California
newspaper The last statement is very salu-
briolt, considering that these little Chinese in
noceEts are absolutely taught by their parents
to worship the loss-which is their name, not
for G.Od-but the devil.
Inkhe city IL which this is written, New

soon be ready for destruction. Against this
immigration i: is the sacred duty of those who |

lips true Congress- which, it is to be hoped, |
will represent all the laborers in our country, |
Ordain non-intercourse with China, and set in |
