THE NEW DANGER!
Another System of Slavery Sought to be
Established IN tie Country.

Last week we called the attention of our
rea iers to the new danger threatening tbs
country in the shape of organized move
ment on the part Of Democrats and South
ern land owners TO Hnod the Southern and
Southwestern States with Coolie serfs or
poems, t. be imported from the Chinese En-
pire. This movement is one calculated
TO awaken alarm and solicitude in the minds
Of thinking men of the nation. and especially
OF the laboring portion Of our population.
Californians especially interested in this
matter, and shou prepare to use every pos
sible effort to check and strange the new
movement. Read the following sample of
the ad ertisements beginning 10 appear 10
Southern and Southwestern papers:
CHINESE IMMIGRATION COMPANY OF ST.
Louis. MISSOURI.
To the POINTERS Of the South The above
named company is now organized, and Is
completing its arrangements to supply the
Southern planters with Chinese laburprs. to
be collected ut St Louis and distributed
luTbuEnbul bic AHOiu III iliEr lNF IHe crops
of next year. The labor question il obvi
ously the great problem to lie solved in con-
neciion with the restoration Of the South to
anything like its former prosperity. The so
luton of that question is most readily ard
successfully found in the vast and overflow
ing population of China the eheapness Of
Coole labor. the peculiar adaptedness of
that race to the climate of the South and to
the production of Southern staples, and in
the cheap and convenient transportation af
forded bv the Pacific Railroad. THIS road is
now compIeied from the Mississippi River
To San Francisco, and this company il now
ready to correspond with Southern planters
in reference to furnishing Chinese laborers
for their. plantations.
There are in California between two and
three hundred thousand Cinnamon at the
present time, and many more are constantly
arriving from across the Pacific We wish
to begin the transportation of them to ST.
Louis as soon as practicable. and to have a
large supply of them on hand in time for
. the crops of next year.
In answer to the principal inquiry in re-
gard to the introduction Of Chinese labor in
the South we mean cost) can only say
at present that we estimate the expense Of
transportation to Selma at $50 per head, the
cost UI DIS laDtf from St 10 SO per noiflH,
and fed. La recommendation of the Coole
as laborer, it may, in conclusi n. be said
that it is easy to make him a permanent fix
ture when lie once becomes located. he
can be contracted with without difficulty
for series of years together, az he is noted
for his faithful and religions adherence to
his contracts. Address F. H. HAwEs.

The following dispatches show that the
call for Convention of Southern Represent
atives favorable to Cov,,e labor, is being re-
sponded to with alacrity:
Memphis, July 11th. -Teleg and let
ters from the entire ,uthwest, state that
meetings. are being held and delegates ap.
pointed to the Chinese Labor Convention on
the 18th inst. A number of planters are
already here
Memphis, Tenn. July Delegates
are coming rapidly to the Chinese Labnr
Convention. to be held to morrow. Knop-
manschap importer at San Francisco, tele.
graphed that he will he present. Planters
from various parts of the Southwest are here

Let the Union Republican Party-the
champion and early friend of Free Labor,
meet this new slavery movement boldly and
strangle it before it grows strong, lnsolen,.
and defes the white working mems int crest
We want the lands of this country titled by
free men, and not by heatben serfs and idol
worshipping slaves.
