our civilization. Their institutions
under which three hundred and fifty
millions of people live in quiet and
peace, enjoying a prosperity unknown
elsewhere in the world, must they not
be of value? / say there is no race
with so few objections to them as the
Chinese. The argument against them,
" the fear Of amalgamation, y is a weak
one. No matter whether they bring
their women with them or not, the
Caucasian race will still remain mas
tiers of the situation. The expert
ment of amalgamation Of races has
has been tried, and there has been but
little of it. There was a little with
the red man, but that blood is now
looked upon as something noble, for
it was of PocahOntas. There is some
of it over in Mexico, but God has
stamped it with a curse. If that was
to occur here to-day God would curse
it. That man who would try to bring
it about would be cursed and would
deserve it. We may have a JOseph's
coat here, it is true, but the white
would predOminate, There viii be
no clash, either. The negroes may be
melted to it, and there may be a riot,
but where is the great forward move
ment that has not been c0mbatted by
some of the masses, who imagine that
it will be inimical to their peculiar in
terests? Look at the introduction of
the spinning jenny"
At this point Judge Sutton arose and
said that he for one had but a liaited
time to remain here, and without de-
string to interrupt the speaker he
thought it would be best, If, instead
Of his proceeding with his speech at
present. he would give way and al
low the Convention to get to working
order. There we're numerous COM
mittees to appoint, and the Commit
tee on Permanent Organization had
come in and was ready to report.
Mr.. Clapp said he owed the COnvep-
ton an apology. He had not seen
the Committee come in; had he
have done so he would have
stopped, as he was aware, as he said
that the members of the Convention
had come together to transact bust
ness, not to talk or listen to speeches.
For that reason he had yielded in the
first place very reluctantly to the re-
quest made by the committee to adj
dress them.
The Chair stated that he you'd say
in justice to Mr.. Clapp that such was
the case, and that Judge Clapp's adj
dress was a part Of the programme.
Mr.. Clapp retired and +. 81. Apper-
son, Esq, of the Committee on Pep
manent Organization, reported as fol-
lows:

which were continued some moments.
