TRUoKEE, January 2d.-The anti Chinese
meeting tonight was more enthusiastic
than ever before. The committee of five

the following report, which was enthusi-
astically adopted:
WHEREAS, We, the citizens of Truckee, fully
realize that strong and uncomfortable current
of feeling peryades this community because of
the general displacement of white labor by Chi
nese, that this feeling has given rise TO appre-
hension that the masses might Join in an upris-
ing that would prove disastrous in its conse
quences to life and property, that we, the citi
Zens and property holders have endeavored to
turn this current into peaceful channels by
urging the discharge of Chinese laborers, and
that our endeavors have been attended with
abundant success, save IN the single instance of
the mammoth wood contracts which are being
performed by Cinnamon. and fully recognizing
that it is seriously doubtful whether the safety
and security OF the community can be main
tanned by US for great length of time while the
| pltilul cry for bread by the children of white
| workingmen is being continually Knocked by the
| resoundlng axes OF 800 well-fed and well-pald
Cinnamon. Now, therefore, be it
| Resoiued, That the citizens of Truekee, in mass
meeting assembled, hereby warn all wood con-
| tractors to rescind their contracts for Chinese
! labor on or before January 15 1856; and we es-
| pecially warn all Cinnamon to leave the woods
on or before that date, or to seek other protec-
