This condition of New EnSiand--this
temper of her peoples unfortunate ioI
her. Discrimination to labor amongst bel
own people is in part the cause, ana they
are seeking relief from sources that Will
bring upon them untold evils. A colnlnu-
nity should always beware Of what sort OF
people they introduce into their house
holds and when the manufacturers hope
to conquer the white laborcrs OF the
unions by the introduction of the cheap
labor of the Asiatics, they are only phing
up trouble and inflicting misery IN pros
nective upon themselves and their COM
munities. The reduction Of the seit-prlde
and of the remuneration Of the White Ia
borer to the low level of the Chinaman will
be serious evil for society. 1t will end iii
violence and crime. No man ought to de-
sire TO see his own people brought to that
degradation!
The worst feature Of this cry for labor,
and especially the labor of the inferior
races, is the want of industry in this land and
the poor vanity which makes people feel too
proud to labor. a population ought always
to be able to support itself. The school OF
labor, especially the tilling of the soil, Is
the noblest and most beneficent of the lnstl
tutions in the world. 1t was directly de-
creed by the Creator. From it all profes'
sions, and Government itself, derive then
recuperative energies, their vigor, WISDOM
and very life.blood. Is it not great pub
lie evil to poison this grand source OF na
toms health, wealth, and greatness by
trusting labor to the inferior races brought
from other quarters of the globe!

fusing them through the country. They
never can be brought to that condition
which will make them safe inmates Of dwell
ings with families and trusted hands upon
the farm. Their Asiatic peculiaritps ear
never be eradicatcd. Look ut the recent
maSsacres of the whites in China see in
those the Chinese superstition and the Chi
nese hate of foreigners. With such pas
sions to stimulate their cunning and insidt-
Gus ingenuity, what is too dreadful TO ap-
prehend from them!
Providentlally, distinct families Of mel
were placed in parts Of the globe separated
from one another, and whenever, by human
agency, those distinct families have been
brought into juXtaposition terrible calami
ties have followed. Need we refer TO olrl
own disastrous experience Of IL war Of TN
surpassed horrors, followed by politica
aggravations and troubles that have beer
hardly second to war in miscries and in
jurles to the prosperity and peace of thu
land? II is certainly time that we haC
learned wisdom enough to put check
upon an evil from which we have suffered
50 much. 1t is time that we had learned t.
be temperate in our plans and to conslde
somewhat the welfare of the nation, and no
to yield ourselves wholly to the ambition t
be suddenly rich and to lead lives OF cas-
and opulence.
The poor South is not much possessed 0
this rage of the day at the North. She ha
beed brought by war and misgovcrnmen
to Il condition that an imputation that SIN
is avarcous would be mere mockery.
Viewing the matter, however, from tn
position where we residc-could we over
look entirely the national consequences O
extending o national evil over the Who'll
land-we should desire to see New Englan
and other parts Of the Union well populate
with African and Asiatic people. The II
suit would be series Of new laws thu
would put the States on footing of eQualit

which, while they disturb the social econt
