Charley Crocker, Superintendent Of the
Central Pacific Railroad Company. is now
making some of the most effective and power
full Democratic speeches that have ever been
heard on the Pacific coast, and should he
continue the good work until the next election
there viii not be Republicans enough left in
the State to constitute a respectable minority
Every day We hear merchants, lawyers, doc
tors, and all kinds OF business men, who have
heretofore worked with the Republican party,
announcing their intention TO unite with the
Democratic, or any other party, tina; will
promise to extirpate and nd the country Of the
''Asiatic cholera" which is now depopulating
the Western States and Territories Of their
white inhabitants. They assert that they will
80 with any party, heart and SOUL that can
give assurances Of an earnest intention TO de-
liver the country from the blight and mildew
now settling upon it by the blind and fatal
policy Of inviting Chinese TO come among Us.
The recent discharge, by the Railroad Com
Pany, Of all the white men working as section
hands along the line Of the road, and the sub
stituIion oi Chinese, has had wonderful
effect upon the brotherhood" Ilosic Of our
Radical friends who are in business near the
road, as it touches the pocket nerve-the
most sensitive of the human organism-and
Is therefore converting them from the gentle
ways Of universal rights TO ''ye fierce De
mOcracy." All kinds of business and trade
along the road are likely to suffer severely
from the discharge Of white men and the en-
Ployment Of Chinese; and every white laborer
50 displaced, no matter what has been his DO
ltical views III the past, is, from that day on,
an open enemy Of Chinese emigration, aud
the lifelong foe Of any party that fayors Chi
nese labor. Every time the hand-car passes
through our streets with its load of tatterde-
maliOn coolie serfs on board, as part Of the
thousands Of that class now finding employ
ment at the hands of the Railroad Company,
to the exclusion Of white men, the effect is
more powerful and telling on the minds of
the people than all the abstract arguments
that could be advanced in a life time
Compared with the arguments thus far used
by Charley Croker in behalf Of Democratic
principles, our efforts sink into utter insig-
niicance. Language, eloqucnce and vehe-
ment argument, fall still-born on unwilling
ears; but acts-liying exemplifying acts
striking down the interests of white men and
giving preference to Asiatics open up and
sharpens the dull avenues of thought and
bring the laboring men in shoals to the Dem
ocratic party. While Charley Croker con-
tinues in the field as n Democratic orator, we
can we'll afford to be silent and leave the in
tercsts of the party in his keeping, as he will
make the State so thoroughly and overwhclm-
ingly Democratic before another year, that the
opposition will not rise 10 the dignity Of
scattering" Huzza then, for Charley
Croker and the Central Pacific Railroad, rs
they are doing splendid work for the cause of
n White Mans Government

MOBILE, Aug. Q. 1862
Last night serious riot occurred in this CITY, be-
ginning at an outdoor republican meeting TO cee.
brate the triumph OF the republican candidate for
this Congressional district. The meeting was o
large one and was composed exclusively of negroes,
except q few white leaders. During the whole of
yesterday rumors were In circulation that the ne.
groes were very much excited, defiant and threat
ening, and meant to burn the democratic candidate
Gems called on the Mayor and some Of the
republican leaders, and advised them that

out the whole people could not be restrained from
an attempt to resent the indignity by iorce It was
thought that these representations had the desired
effect, and there would be no meeting. AT eight
O'Clock, however the tar barrels were lighted and
the negroes began to flock In until they swelled into
crowd OF thousand or fifteen hundred. Many
came with guns; most all with concealed arms pis-
tolls knives and raxors Nothing occurred to disturb
the harmony or the meeting, except the in1iamma-
tory talk OF some OF the speakers until about ten
O'Clock, when joc0se dispute arose between two

march up town to look after and put stop to some

was the natural result OF the excitement. There
were not 100 men as lockers on ct the meeting
The casualties were small considering the number
OF shots fired and the close quarters. Many shots
must have been fired In the air. Three negroes
were Killed outright and flve were wounded. Four
police officers and three other white men were
wounded.
