Year: 1860

We hear Of nothing more being said or done
about the mammoth antiMongolian petition
which was sent TO the Legislature by the citi-
gems of San Francisco. This is matter Of in
calculable, Importance not only TO to the busi-
ness men who are 10 San San Francisco, hst al
so to the welfare of the entire State for all
time to come. We have already had sufficient
evidence of the danger of Legislative delay in
regard to this important question. Mob vio-
leRce and lawless outbreaks have disgraced va
rions mining localities labor has been debased
and honest industry reduced TO beggary crime
and drunkenness, aud insanity, and suicide have
cast their balefu. shadows over society, all on
account Of these labor-debasing Asiatics


Everybody admits this every thinking citi-
zen knows aud feels that these evils are attrib.
utable TO the presence Of the Chinese amongst
us, and yet we sit supinely watching the rapid.
" increasing trouble without doing anything
to avertit. We ell know and feel that if some-
thing is not done to check this overwhelming
Mongolian flood which is constantly pouring in
upon us, that Inevitable ruin awaits us ia the
future, and yet like q lot of horses in u burning
barn. we stand patiently gazing at the blaze
which is to consume us.


We who live in these quiet valleys, far re-
moved from the evils of which we are now
writing, may be excused from not feeling alarm
ed about the inn1x of Chinese population but

are dependent entirely upon the labor Of their
hands for their daily bread, it is a question of
momentous Importance. Already many hun
dreds of our laboring white citizens are unable
to procure employment which will yield suni-
cient compensation to keep them from beggary.
Despair, and its dreadful results-nsanity,
crime aud suicide, are doing their dreadful
work upon us, aud there is no allevistion, no
remedy, simply because the Chinese have mo-

things is even now dreadful beyond computa-
ton, and still the black hordes are permitted
to swarm in upon us in increasing thousands.


The natural query is--where win all this
trouble end? What will be the result of this In
twenty years from the present, If nothing Is
done to check this pestlential swarmY Are
we TO sit patiently here aud see our State ruin
ed and debased without attempting TO do any
thing in our own defense? Men may speak
lightly Of this matter aud console themselves
with the idea that they are of q superior race,
and are therefore, in no danger from the prox-
unity Of the Asiatics, but there is more truth
than poetry in the old ssw: "If<ye mngle
with dogs ye may expect to get feas" A dis
tingushed traveller say that the policy of China
which has hitherto excluded foreign nations
from theircountry, has been of real benefit to
the white race for the Chinese have shades Of
social vices darker than anything ever dreamed
Of by the most debased of white men. The
same writer says that even tho touch Of these
human brutes Is contamination. This kind OF
abomination which our law makers are permit
ting to food the country. These are the pagan
beasts which are to be forced into the presence
of our families. We are not to have them in
small detaehments either but by whole colo
nies. There are many millions of them yet to
come, and come they will, unless we do some
thing to prevent them.--San Jose Reporter.
