.sf.... sixth WARD, Moo YoRK,
July 8, 1870. J
RUN up to Moo York last week on
special biznis. / saw in a noosepaper that
seventy-five Chinese he'd located their
selves in North Adams, Massychoosits,
and therein saw a CLEAN NV lite for the
Dimocrisy. Here, sed l to myself, is
richnisl Here is what will wunst more
fire the Dimocrstic heart and rouse Dim
ocratic Indignation. The Dimocrisy must
aluz hev an inferior race, and now that
we've lost the niger, Providence has
slept in at the nick OF time and furnishes
us the Chinaman.
Immejitly on my arrival, sought out
the Dimocratic Central Committee Nv our
ward, aud called meetin NV "all labrin
Amerikens nv the 9Th Ward opposed to
the interduckshen NV form pauper labor

Pat O'Flynn, and Jenny OFallon, and
Terrence McOoole, and Jenny O'Brien,
all Nv EN- runnin Sloons in the block the
Harp NV Erin is located in, entered into
the matter with sperlt. We're rivals in
bizuis, but, thank Heaven, in politics we
kin act together ez unit. Our interests
are identikle 81
100 We tried to git some shoemakers and
brick masons and sich to attend the meetil,
but they all insisted they wuz too bizzy.

The Chairman remarkt that the comm
| Nv the~bar barious Chinese to the Eastern
States had filed him with profound alarm.
| EZ labrin man he sollumly protested
agin bringin forrin pauper labor to these
happy shores to compete with us. With
all hiz sole he protested agin this impor-
tashun Nv proverty driven FORMERS to
Ameriky. He hoped the meetin wood do
its duty in this matter. He would inter.
dooce to the meetin Mr.. Jean Jacques
/ Pierre. La Tourette, gentleman of
I North Adams, Massychoosets, where this
outrage agin AmeTikin labor was bein
| perpetrated. eI~4
Mr.. La Tourette riz and addrest the
meetin in French, ez he coodent speak
English, he havin been in this country
/ only ten months. We procoored French

lated him for our benefit. Mr. La Tour.
ette remarkt that the principal thing
laoorin men he'd to contend with wuz
imported pauper labor. The Chinese
wich had bin adventid in North Ada ms
! wuza inferior race wich Good live on
! nothin and Good consekently work for
nothin. They had none Nv the habits
and tastes ny ciYilizashen. They did not
drink llkker; in fact one Nv EN-, Ching
Choy, didn't know what likker wuz,
(Expresshun Nv disgust from the entire
assembly, One hundred NV his people
he'd bin indoost ten months ago to come
to the Yoonited States from Lower Can
ady by the promise Nv ekal rites Them
wich emigrated with him from Lower
Canady hedn't anythin ia pertikeler to eat
IN that country, and still less to wear in
blythe parish authorities. We came to
the Yoonited States, the manufacturers
paying our fare on the railroads, expect
ing to find land Nv good wages and
plenty. Wat hez been the result? Why,
Jest es we he'd all iined the Crispins, and
established who shOod and who shood not
labor in North Adams, and likewise wat
wages shood be paid, an how they
should be paid, but before we got
control Nv the books Nv the concern, we
are confronted with forrin pauper labor
brought from forrin shore, and we are
out in the cold. Mr.. La Tourette re-
marked that when5he sed 1--WE" he spoke
NV his associates. He didn't labor his
self-he wuz friend of humanity, whose
biznis it Wuz to organize labOrin men agin
the encroachments Nv capital.
Dennis O'Shaunnessy, our Secretary,

Mr.. La Tourette answered about %
cents day, wich anser, ez it wuz consid-
down, el Mr.. O'EhAus hnesSy's early oau-
casnen he'd bin neglected. "Good LordP'
ejackilsted Teddy Ryan, that's only Two

Boniface, wich he'd bin presentid his

shen NV the devouC, demanded that the
most stringentest laws should be passed

NV heathen and idoiators. He bleeved in
religious tolerashen, but the ijeee NV q
joss-house bein erectid in Moo York filed
him with alarm, and he wood prevent Il
