they begin to cry for emancipation and
liberty we will leave the God-forsaken
country" Leave it to whom? To the
mongrel, hybrid race, produced by the
horrid miscegenation which can be fore
seen and shuddered at To the Chinese,
savage, brutal, Observation-Disclosures
to the negro and to the poor white man
who cannot procure gang of these gal
leys, and who cannot compete with them
in endurance of brutal toll
A few capitalists will amass fortunes
cxtorted from their pristine labor and
then leave the country q perfect South
Sea Island, an Australia, inhabited by
the negro, the Goolie, the galley slave,
the crushed caucasian and the hybrid
produced by the mlscegenation of all
these!
This will be the result, sue, swift, in
evitable of the introduction of this peo-
pie!
But without looking so far into the fu-
ture for the ffeect of this scheme, its i'm
mediate consequences will be as delete
rious and pernieious.
AS laborers, we docbt not that they
will be the most enduring and the cheap
est ever brought here. But the imme-
diate effect of the introduction of this
labor, what will it be?
The degradation and depreciation of
labor and its price!
Such was the consequence of the old
slave labor system, and the existence of
this actuating cause, checked aud barred
the emigration of the honest European,
who brought with his muscle, the skill
and art acquired in his foreign nppren-
ticeship-the law-abiding and civilized
traits Of character, which made the good
citizen and the honest man.
All this result is enhanced and aggra-
waited by the installation of the Chinese
laborer.
The white man could not work for
what the slave did; the Coolie can
work for less. The white man felt
sense of degradation in working with
the negro far more viii he be degraded
by any association with the Chinese
coolie. They are admitted, even by the
representations Of the capitalists inter
ested in aheir expectation, to be utterly
unamenable to law. A letter from Cali
fornia, some time ago, says they will cut
mans throat for twenty-five cents.
The women are spoken of as peculiarly
depraved and licen tious, vices, deformi-
tics, diseases, undreamed of heretofore
will be the concomitants of these-the
feulest courtezans upon the face Of the
earth. They appear to be like the In
dians, impossible to be civilized, going
or rather driven along the routine of
labor like beasts. Intoxicated and in
cited by the evil-designed or by their
appetites or passions, who can estimate
the amount of mischief they could pro-
duce?
For one moment contemplate the de-
noralizing influence of the very presence
Of these people, these women-look for
one moment at the effect of contamina-
tion with these creatures, and the pic
ture is complete. Such will be the true
result of the Chinese immigration Good
Lord deliver us i!
No! the South needs ,chie n,ea to re-
build her waste places. The honest
German, who will. settle aud become an
honest and intelligent citizen.
"Aye /! but this is the very reason we
do not wish him to come here" grouls
the old regime of slaveocracy, "he as
pires to equality with US"
