.COOLIE IMPoRTATIoS.
IS Louis, Mo-, August 2I.-A dispatch
from 81. Joseph says Eve hundred Chinese
will q ortly be cent to St. Joseph. whence
they ill be distributed, to various points.
AgeHties will be established at St. Joseph,
St. Luis, and at Springfield, Mo.
ThA WOEKINGMANs' ADVOCATE has done its
duty ~ us 10 this matter Of COOlie importa-
ton. 1t has declared to us the inevitable
circu distances that must follow, and pointed
it's warning finger at the present condition
OF San Francisco. There was only one wav
to step the inaictiOn, viz, by demanding
none Intercourse with China" Our Labor
COn1 ess was not willing to sanction this
courts. Many good men, indeed, advocate
theiri booming; they admit things look "a liz
tie oudy now respecting the rights Of
Chin kmen 10 California, but have a shaky
kind of faith that they will soon be regulat-
ed b tier. II is to be hoped that their sur
miSeSs correct. II is still more to be trusted
that They have counted their forces and find
theTt sufficient to establish Cinnamon, in
a beeer position there than they hold at pre-
sent. II not, both Cinnamon, as well az
whiY and black wOrkingmen, will have
good reason TO deplore their i'll timed
phil4 nthrOpy.
Sonfess, sir, that had little faith that
the 'egal barrier set up against the cOolie
traffic would be respected, but did not tx
pecta that Secretary Boutwell's mandate
woul have been set aside with such indie
cent haste. Poor man t2) his order has nOs
laS;d a month. | also belieYe President
Grant, would enforce the terms Of the
ChiIAese Treaty if he could. Is not his
hong as president, as a soldier, aud as "a
mani concerned in this matter Think of
It, t{enty thousand human beings 10 Cali
iOrbta, ruled out of the law courts, and
shrinking under special and burdeDsome tax
AtioT appealing to President Grant, to make
goodthe Government Oontract-in vain.
RESOLUTIONS sanctioning Chinese immigra-
tionS and forbidding Coolie importatiOns,
will DOT save Us from the inficuOn. Ii is
PLAZA that the Government is the tool of
hos who have decreed otherwise. IL is
pc v rless to make good its word in the
treaty to TO these oppressed specimens of
humanity, already condemned in that instru
nerk as unworthy of United States citizen
sni1 Having put down sectional slavery It
is Evidently the intention OF the land and
nody InamuOniIes who rule US to estab- |
isb9 universal Slavery-commenciOg With
and political disqualification. Be
E a This year our Congress has distin-
yuId bed itself by the admission Of Africa,
lexl year, In order to meet their movement
We lhall have to broaden our base by the
admission of Asia. R. w. HUME.
