TIE CHINESE QUEsrIoN considered
relatively to. the positions. of the Repnb
lican and Democratic parties is thus
conci-ely stated by TIE W bite Poe News
of July IL: rE.l eq1.E
When the war was over, the Administra-
ton was ready to allow the States To regulate
the franchise, excluding the negroes from
ballot box, till it became a necessity of pol
icy to secure the ground gained by enfran-
chi.ins the negro in the -South-but not for
principle. The logical, result of pursuing
this line as the true drift, of principle, and
for the sake Of principles self, was bringing
US to the endowment Of the Ceinaman with
the same privileges as other aliens. with the
same door open to him to become voter !;
till the Massachusetts, shoemakers rose up,
and We find that it is not good policy to bank
rupt our people. even in the name of prin-
chile. Congress scouts the principle, be-
cause at last the poison at the bottom i, de-
tected; and the Republican party stands the
opponent, to-day, of policy which would
induce the immigration Of the hordes of
Asiatics who are threatening every avenue
of industry in our fair land. The Demo
cratic thunder is spiked. The Democratic
Legislature Of California made no effort to
prevent that immigration. 1t said. "vac-
cinate them and let them come" The Re-
publican Congress says, "Let them stay at
home where they belong"
