an appeal, not to the reason. but to the pas
sions and prtjudicssof PARTON of our foreg
born population. An article purporting to b
an address In German is published with grea
flourish of trumpets and heralded forth as con
tanning the sentiments and feelings Of our Ger
man fellow.citizens 6f Ada County. If we are

The writtenor printed address of any advocate
of the doctrine Of Chinese equality. even if he
is German Radical, will have about as much

the regal command of Canute had on the ocean
pillows, when he commanded them to retire
and not invade the sanctity of his royal feet
