Be 1t remembered, that, whereas, it has been |

Act by the Flftie lh Congress of the United Stetes
and the approx al thereof by the President, has
caused dissa6 sfaetion among the people of the |
state oil Calif ornia and, where's, it is not true
that the sac. Act. or its passage by Congress or
It's approval by the President, has catsed any
dissatisfaction whatever among the citizens of
this State but on the contrary, has at all times
met with their warm appreciation and,
whereas 20 the people of the State eff Cal ornia
ssid Act is a boon almost asdeeply priced as was
the Declaration OF Independence to the original
thirteen States of the Union now, therefore,
taat the sentiment of the people OF the state OF
Saniornla may not be 1nisrepresented or .nlsun-
'derStoOd, be it

Licu have our citizens fal,ered for moment in
their resolution to first obtain and thee MAN
tain the exclusion from our shores of people
detrimental to our country, and menace 10 its
prosperity; and be it further
ReSOteed, Than an experience OF fcrty years
has proven to our people, beyond the power OF
all argument to dispel, that the prefer to the
l people of China of the rights and privileges OF

| the reception within our borders or non as
Stimulating class is an evil unmitigated by a
single real benetto the citizens of the Republic;
| ana be it iufther
daesofre1 That the Senate and Assembly of the
| State of California recommend to the Congress

been before Board of Examiners and the re
port In favor of its passage had been unen-

preparation was exhausted.
