District, was nominated by acclamation at
the Union Republican Convention held at
Shasta on the 18th inst, as a candidate for
reelection to that position The Judge s
reputation, and qualifications as superior
man for the position, are too well known to
need any recommendation at our hands,
yet we cannot do otherwise than certify to
the great esteem in which he is held as a
fair and impartial Judge, unbiased by
prejudice or passion, courteous to all, and
gaining the utmost confidence of friends
and foes alike in the performance of his
duty during the past six years As an
able lawer he has no superior in the District,
and has won golden opinions from the COM
munity it general, for the able, prompt and
decided manner in which he conducts bus
mess in court His election is a foregone
conclusion, and we firmly believe he will
carry Siskiyou County, as well as Trinity

The SOUTHERN LABOR MovEMENT.-It is
a curious fact that while the Demoeray of
California are falsely denouncing their polit-
ical oppone Is as the advocates of n whole
sale system of Chinese importation, the only
persons who really propose to attempt anT
thing of that kind are the Democracy of the
East and South. The late Memphis Conyen
ton, which resolved that Chinese labor is
Indispensable to the South, consisted largely
of Democratic plantation owners and was
presided bv ISham G. Harris, a well known
Secession Democrat. The agent of the Con-
vention, G. w. Gift. who is now on his way
hther to see what arrangements can be made
to obtain and forward Chinese, is a Democrat
The correspondence wi b this State that pre-
ceded the Memphis movement was with Dem

In the face of this Democratic enthusiasm
Tor Chinese labor the leading BepubIican
journals of the country, East and West alike
deprecate any forcing process, whether under
the color of illegal contracts or in any other
form of Cooleism, and insist that there shall
he no immigration from China to the United
States but what is free and voluntary They
argue that the Chinese as tree agents will
not come in excessive numbers, and will not
iniure any class of white labor but they
suspect in the Southern movement a scheme
to inaugurate an Illicit traffic, which is meant
to result in a substitute for slavery v-Stn

transpiring in the South, plainly show who
are the champions of Chinese in pnrtation a
this time As further evidence on this point
we publish below an extract from the ST. Louis
Republican, a strong Democratic paper,
which raps Senator Casserly over the knuck-
les and talks the real sentiments of the Dem
ocracy. Hear 1t.
The Democratic party at the South, have
no thought of hiring. as workmen in that
region, the Irish. or Germans. or other Eu-
ropeans: their detestatiun of free white labor
is only equalled by that Of free black labor :;
and, in the Chinese, they propose to find u
substitute for both Already there is n
Southern demand for Chinese labor and we
have no doubt that in few wears the Chinese
will be the laborers at the South as we'll as
Mt the North. Mr.. Casserly will find that
the Democratic party at the South will not
| consent to the exclusion cf the Chinese. nor
to any law or regulation which will compel
them to employ white mechanics or labnrers.
| Here we have the leading Democratic
paper of the West asserting that the Dem
ocratic party is hencrforh to be the open
champion of Chinese labor and the enemy of
| free white labor. Will working men longer
train with such party? Is it not about
time to vote such Democracy ont of existence?
