Death by slow, but sure starvation Is more

fate OF many. even in this land Of plenty, i

ID the Chinsman Q fit person to emigrate to
this country! We emphAtically answer no !
Because be can never become an American
citizen. for the Emperor Of C:ina strictly for :
bids every one of his subjects from becoming q
citisen Of any other nation, and none profess
greater aileetance % hts sovereign thau o
Chinaman. Ii is a well known fact, that all
Chinese before leaving China, under any agree
mept to serve in any other country, have It
strongly stipulated in the contract, that in the
event Of death taking place. their bones must
be sent back to China, as it lie their firm belief
that their spirits cannot enter paradise until
their bodies have been buried in China. They
come to this country to make money either
lawfully or unlawfully as circumstances permit,
hoard Il up, ann then 20 back without having
spent single cent in the place that afforded
them liviag Il has been proved beyond a
doubt, that the Cinnamon never have conform
ed TO the customs Of America they always
wear their own clothes, and consume nothing
but what they import themselves from China,
except ms thing" rata" They import their
own Tea, and sfser having used il, dry the leaves
again and cell them to Americana The
Gigantic efforts Of thousands Of missionaries
have proved futile to civilize the monsters, as
they only accepted their bibles because they
were bound in leather, and served them as
cheap stock from which to make slippers.
They change not as other nations Of the earth,
in manners, customs, or dress, and travel
where you will, from the Himalsyas to the AL
leghany Mountains, they are still the same bar
barous. pensrious. cheating and servie villains.
The men ore pirates and robbers Of the darkest,
meanest, aud barefsoed type, and the women
prostitutes Of the vilest grade.
What does the Chinese trade do for ADeri-
ca ?"s A statement vas made some time ago,
and verified by figures, that the Chinese leav.
ing this country for their own, took away six
teen million dollars in few months, while 10
the same space Of time, those trading in them
did not realize four millions. The Pacific Mail
Company do NOS yet hnd the trade profitable
enough to enable them to run more than one
steamer per month, but capitalists In California
are urging them to run two steamers per month,
(the object being TO bring them in fasterl, and
they have petitioned Congress 10 grant them
subsidy to pay the expenses Of running the ex-
ira steamers II Congress grants the petition,
the country viii be ruined beyond redemption
unless some strenuous efforts are used to pre-
vent this diabolical scheme. <The city Of San
Francisco 10 flooded with Chinese prostitutes,
brought there every month BY the six Chinese
Companies for speculation, and horrible a. it
may appear, their dens are frequented by great
numbers Of white boys, ranging from ten to
sixteen years Of age, 10 none such are admitted
into the houses of ill-repute kept BY white wo.
men The disease known rs leprosy has ap-
peared among the Chinese, and must soon
spread amongst the White population - there
are about three hundred cases there already.
The superabundance of the Pagan element must
sooner or later mcnopolize every branch Of
trade.
tI-et mock humsnitarians wink at these facts,
and then say they have not the right to be an
alterably opposed under any and all circum-
stances to the importatiou-and that's the
proper and only term to use-of hos 'e Asiatic
barbarisns for the sole and only purpose of
cheapeDing the labor Of those, who are obeying
the Divine decree, of eating bread in the
sweat of their own faces" We declare. fear
less Of successful contradiction, that this ID the
reason, snd the only reason that has been, or
can be urged in favor Of this vilIsInous scheme
and .he plea that philanthropic or Humanitarian
motives control the sction Of those who even
now rob their own race OF their daily bread, Is
TOO absurd to deserve consideration hence all
such pettifogging is the sheerest demagoguery,
stealing the livery of heaven to serve the
devil in.
Moreover, We insist that there is an i'm
portant principle underlying this whole ques-
ton, In the solutioa Of which every American
citizen 10 directly interested. The importation
OF these hordes can ultimately have but one re
suit-the permanent colonization Of servile
race an issue in direct conflict with the car
d'nal features Of democratic government, be-
cause, whether practlsed or repudiatei BY the
action Of our legislators, our institutions are
based on the intelligence, the patriotism, and
the Independence Of the people. There arr
two reasons Why this great evil should not b
tolerated First, Because by nature and edu
cation, they have, and can have NO sympathy
or appreciation Of our institution and, second
because, were the franchise exercised to NOR
row, the expression obtained would simply b,
the expressions Of their masters, all privat,
and personal considerations being surrendere,
at their dictation. Nor In this an Idle asser-
aon IL 10 the testimony of one thorough,
vsrssd In Chinese character, whose practica
experience among, and control of them, ha
been second 70 that Of no living man.
