A RADICALS OPINION or CHINESE.

i Hon. Frank NJ Pixley, one OF the leaders 0
the Radical party ID California, and who re
Gently resigned the position Of United State
District Attorney for that State which Of
fee he had been appointed by Grant-reccntl,
delivered . violent anti. Chinese lecture at the
Mechanics Institute Hall in San Francisco
from which we extract the following rs re-
ported in the Call Of May 18th:
He despsed the man who would sneer at this ones.
ton OF the laboring man, and there was diversity
OF opinion In regard TO It, Some had said this was
contest between the Irish and Chinese IL Is not n
In contest between Asia and America, between the
barbarism Of the Old World and the civilization OF
the New IL is q contest which hangs the pros.
perity or the whole American nation. He said his
argument was from selfish standpoint for thew
were supposed TO love their families In prefer
ence to any Others. God had given to each race
country for themselves and. as God has given us
this country he proposed topreserye IL from aggran
dizements by another race separated from us by
broad ocean. The settling Of this race amsng us
was nothing more than the planting of germ. which
one day would rise and send to It's ruin the most
prosperous country In the world No matter whether
they were superior or inferior TO us they diff
ferent OF different habits religion. etc. and 1t
well settled rule that the intermngling OF two
different would tend 10 deteriorate one or the
other They might send enough to tins country to
entirely oserrun IT, and blot out the American race
Since the treaty Of peace with China whereby the
Chinese were siiowed 10 emgrate from that country
It said that hundred thousand had arrived on
hese shores. aud Of which seventytwo thousand re-
ain in this State and all this In spite of the oppo-
'ition given. And If this were withdrawn, and the
word white stricken from the Constitution of the
United States. what would be the result IL was no
die fear for IN ten years every white laborer would
DC driven from the coast Then 10 look at the social
question OF the case. The OF Asia were sold
their infancy for purposes Of prostitution and in
his city every day may be seen the effects OF this
lal custom lie repeated rs 1T the meeting Of the |

resent this now of such characters 20 this coast
hrongh the means of steamers subsidized at great
Apense by the Government. he himself would be
fiiing 10 apply the torch Ia them.
After mentioning the different branches of
ldustrY being monopolized by the Chinese, be
ays:
Yet. We Americans stand here and see these iordes
1mins 10 our shores. eating the substance Of the

srers lad len in the last year. aud there was no pro-
ability that they would return.
The greatness OF this nation had arisen from the .
iertningiing of the men and women Of the great :
bite race and 10 ~ due our present prosperity

Such sentiments, when uttered by man I
Se Frank Pixley. whose Radicalism cannot be
'ubied, will be- apt To become more deeply /
oppressed ON the minds of the laboring men of l
