and when once known, cannot be dis
pensed with. Your agents can ar
range with the large China houses of
San Francisco for any number of
them, at prices within your reach.
The result of the large immigration
that must and will come to this coun-
try from China, will have the effect to
drive "Sambo" from off the face of
the North American continent. This
of course looks hard for the poor
darkie, but his abolition friends have
doomed him beyond the power ofany-
thing to save.
al should be glad to get your
ten thousand white men, that you pro-
pose to exchange for one hundred
thousand Cinnamon, but not at that
price. We want people to develop
the vast resources of the most de-
sirable country in the world; but ten
Cinnamon are worth more to US than
one white man, and in fact unless the
white man will 1CorE, the Cinnamon
are better one for one"
The following letter is from a
Chinese merchant of Oregon City,
first published in the Oregonidn news
paper, July 9th That paper says of
him, III will be seen that he has more
sense and better ideas of industrial
economy than all the crossroads poll

assuming to discuss the Chinese
question:"

Some want to come to OregOn-must
cOme-wil come. Don't want to in
fringe on any of your laws, only want
equality before the law; come here to
work and help make this country
grow rich. All we want is peace and
to be let alone.
l show you what good Cinnamon are
to Oregon. l make to-day to Mr..
HOyt, Deputy Collector of Customs,
the last payment of $25, AL 81, coin,
for duties on China goods imported by
our house last summer in French ship
Jeanne Alice from Hong Kong. This
does not include the duties paid by
other China merchants in same ship.
White man been asleep all the time.
Every nation that trades with China
gets rich. One ship here now-more
coming, and there is going to be a di-
rect trade between Portland and China
if it takes a Chinaman to start it.
Suppose white man got any sense he
must see that plenty Cinnamon in
this country makes business for ships,
steamboats,, drays, etc.; puts money
in the public treasury, and by reason
able wages for labor, puts it within
the power of the people of this State
to start manufactures, mills, ETC., and
in many ways helps to make this
country grow rich and prosperous.
TONG DUCK CHUNG,
Chinese Merchant.
The idea Of danger from Chinese
immigration which is entertained by
some, and the objections freely made,
show a very proper concern on the
subject, which indeed to the country
at large o~vershadows all others in its
public interest. Some Southern jour
mails have taken ground in opposition,
though we think the great majority
give the project hearty superiority
a few maintaining a neutral attitude.
The idea contained in the letter of the
President of the Oregon Company,
published above, that the result Of
immigration will be to "drive
'SambO' from off the face of the
North American Continent" is
unfounded. The capacity of the
South for supporting population is
certainly not inferior to the same area
of territory on the face of the globe.
Mr.. CLAPP, in his speech before the
Convention, showed very fairly thai
the addition of twelve millions to the
population of Mississippi, fourteen
millions to Arkansas, and seventy
four millions to Texas, would not
Overcrowd either State with inhabit-
ants. Let the eleven Southern States
be as denSely peOpled as England, and
they will contain two hundred and
millions of people. A hum
dred years will not interfere with the
African who chooses to go to work.
The Charleston Daily News well re-
marks on this subject:
The tendency to immigration from
will at last be checked by the
of supply and demand. When
the South has two or three millions Of
at work in her rice, sugar
and cotton fields, sle will not be anx-
ious to import many more, at prices
which 1t will pay contractors to deliT- |
er them for. The average wages of
Chinese labOrers In the South, will, of
course, decrease as the population of
their cOuntrymen increases, and at
last a point will be reached where the
at home will not have suff-
strong inducements to emf
crate, Ia ne pEQbable event will
