1t is to be hoped that the Labor Congress

melancholy conflict. The reasons why pro-

divisions that have ever existed between az.

what We earn by our lahors. Bat the laws
Of lands, money, traffic and Inheritance
stand in or way, and must be removed and
remodelled before this can be effected. It's
a big lob to do this, but all the producers
in the land, If they can unite for this honest
purpose, will be able to effect it. Is 1t We
need all, half will not do; for those who
are not with rs will inevitably be found in
the ranks Of the consumers against US.
In The mean time whilst some Of our larg-
est unions are dashing themselves to pieces
against the black rock, tire Chinese torrent
Is threatening TO overwhelm as. The Herald
If the Dist ult-, informs US that on the
Thursday previous twelve hundred China
men arrived in sailing vessels at the port Of

threatens the miners Of Nevada that if they
will not use the "giant powder" which they
consider dangerous, that Chinese miners
will take their places who will. The Knights
Of st. Crispin are told by the the Herald
that If they are saucy at Lynn, 10 Massa-

fail to see wherein he has answered single
objection urged by those who are opposed 10

eniag labor and degrading the American me
chanlc. We are afraid our friend must try
again, if be expects to make converts to his
theory. At present we are uncompromis-
ingy opposed, under my and all circum-
stances, to the project Of peopling the West
ern or Southern States with the scum Of the
Chinese empire. The following remarks,
bearing on this question, recently delivered
by Senator Casseriy, Of California, are so sp.
propos and timely, that we cannot do better
than call Mr.. Prindls's attention to them.
He says
