IVniioyer to tint meeting held in Portland, and which the. Republican ring organs liavp misrepresented,' We ask every voter in Oregon to read it. Poktlas'd, March 13, 1880. To the Editor of the Ohegosiax: You and I huvn been neighbors and friends for ahout twenty yearn. We are still such and I hope we mny remain such for the remcinder of our lives. All thul wo lioth h'nvo was mnde and in now invented in Portland, and we ought, therefore, upon every ques tion ntlecting Portland and Oregon to advise (hut which wo think to Im thti le-,t. If, howevr, we should Imppeii to dilH-r (us we often Ho) it ih no reason I should ahuse you or you should aliuse me. We ought, in discussing quehCions iiffi'cting public interest to treat each other respectfully and fairly. I have can fully read what you liuvn had to day on this Cliiii'-sii question and all hough I liav very materially (iilTer- ci with you on every point, except lien you have urged a coinpiianoe with, and an enforcement of the. Iiw, I have held my pacH until now. Dut now when you have come noldly out and have demanded, as I read it, in plain and uiiiuistnkahlo terma tlio for mation of a vigilance committee, which is nothing else in the world hnt a measure of ouilawry.it is high lime that and every other luwahullng citizen of Portland should most HolemnW protest against it why should a vigilance committee I formed Are the courts of Justice oUtru'jtedt lias the Shenll . - . - j. 1 serving the procriweM ot Hie courts been resisted? Ihe court are unpn struoted and the ollicers ot tlie Jaw hove not-, in ono singlo Instance, met with resistance, Ihen why this appeal to molt law, for a vigilance committee is nothini! chin in the world than a well organized nio'i. Is i' for the purpose of hanging two or three men without judge or jury, for th" sake of intimidat irg others? This Would l simply murder, and nothing else. The con dition of affairs that now exist ih and about Portland is most deplorable in deed HoMYcls'of lawless midnight nift rauilrs nre abroad, ind now it' i.i deliberately proposed to organize iinother lawless band to nppbne them. This is a sad state of allairs. How much better they manage this thing in California. Them last week a state convention was held, composed in part of the best citizens of the state, and a united resolve was mado to use every Uwful effort toward the removal of the Chinese from the state, and one of the means to le employed was the hoy oottinir of the Chinese. This measure is perfectly lawful, expedient, practi cal, justifiable and elective. v ny tiu not the people of Portland and Oregon pursue the same policy Why are they not acting qnitedly on this question, as are the people of California? In that state tlie leading men joined the anti- :nolie movnneiits, mid the leading papers espoused its cauce. Jioth men and papers there pursued the same course that John Myers ami the News have endeavored to pursue here. 1 hey used their influence in keeping the movement within the hounds of the law. II the Oregmrian had also put- sued the same course we undoubtedly would have united action :rf this stale is lias heen hod in California, and the organization could now he doing eflec live work in a lawful way in removin the curse 6f ChinesH slavery from the soil of Oregon. Dut the Oregouian saw fit to otioose the movement from tlie start,' and to belittle those who en niL'pd in it, Tins has euibitteieJ Kiune and has had a leniency to drie them to extreme measures, mid the result lias leen the engendering of feeling lietween neighbors who diner on this question, the ein'ioldeningof the Chinese anil the curri g of weapons ly Ik h pirtii, and by the Chinese also, so liar, wiih i Iiw lad blooil tlilit is aroused, and the carrying of weapons, we are really Manning on the verge of a volcano that is lift Mo to burst forth at any uioniei.t. Let dh loth endeavor to pour water in stead of oil upon the rising flames. Ymj and I must agree to the fact that the pn-senee of the Chims here in Orimn is an unmitigated evil. Put- tincr the avefawe of the t u n's-r of Chinese in Portland at ihelov figure of 4000, and putting the moti'y tiley have earned at 75 cents a Hay. ami in the last twenty yeataihVhave au in- Mt" eib-.ISU iH0. The1 prolnibili.y really M that between ?20,000,000 and' 186: ' 1 $25,000,000 here in Portland have gone into their possession. Whore in it? ' Have they built any homes, school houses or church fa hcrel Where is the moneyf It has all gone to China, and, so far as we are concerned, it might as well have been dumped into tliH sea. Now, suppose the Chin ese had not been hero at nil. Suppose that all this money had been paid to white men. They would liavetmarri-d here, they would have bought lots and built homes and cleared land. The whole amount would have been ex nended here.' and in all human nroha. unity, rortiauu insteau oi neiuga unnK rupted and stagnated city of 2.r),000 u habitants, would have become a pros perous city of !)0,000 or 75 000 inlmln itanU Hie extent of the material ami moral curse of this Chinese slave labor on the Pacilio coast chii not be fully computed in figures nor ainpfy portrayed in words. You and I, bo(h of us, through our own exertionR, and by the blessings of God, have f.ecured enough so that we are not compelled to work at manual1 labor for our living. We have a little something to leave to our children, but we all know that riches are very uncertain. Ihey Very often (ake to themselves wings and tly away. It may he possible that our children may so.ne day have to w'ork at manual labor for their daily bread. Do you want to leave your children in a country where, if that contingency comes, they will have to compete for their daily hread with coolie tlaves No,' never. We, both of us, if we pos itively knew that such a fate was in store for oiir1 children, no matter how much we love them, had much rather Is-ar them to their graves and see the earth close over them forever. And feeling so, must we not, both of us, have some sympathy with the tailoring men w ho are now among us, with noth ing in the world hut their hands to de pend upon for1 a living", and some of them' witli' families to feed, and whof now on J here,' have to compete with these same coolie slaves' for their daily bread And is there one single man in' this community, who has to employ 'labor, that would turn a deaf ear to free meii'of his own blood and race for the sake of a mere saving of a small difference In wages hire these alien slaves If there hn, such men' they should hide their heads for very shame. The people of Portland have now be come divided into two distinct parties t he anti-Chinese and the pro. Chines The people of Oregon, like the people of Californij.'Bhould le aunit on this Chinese question. I hero should be no rest until this curse is removed. I5ut it should lie removed by and through the law. There is an irrepressible con flict lictween'freo labor and slave labor that never Will and" never ought to cease. This" Pacitio coast cannot re main peaceable Inlf white and half Chinese. Hie Chinese must go, and thev ou-'ht' to co.' Hut no methods but lawful method' ought to he em ployed. The states" of California and Oregon,' in their state capacity, have never done towards the removal of the Chinese what they might have done, anf oul'IiI to have done, bf tlib lawful ' f' ' 1 1 exercise of their plenary reserved ponce powers. The Chinese should be evictad by law, not in defiance of law; and un til we have such leual remedies our only recourse is to refuse to give them emnlovmeut. In this we should all auree. And u an classes oi our com uiunity should agree to this, there is no doubt that the anti-collie associations would join with us in ferreting out and punishing all persons who would resort to lawless methods, fly suth a course onacs instead of discord would reign in nor n. iilst. As I irohib v w ill not be at the meeting called for to-morrow T will suggest here the resolutions which I think ought to Imb adopted at that meeting: 1. That the existence of Uhinee slave labor is an unmixed and unmiti gated evil and we pludge ourselves, sing y and unitedly, to do all in our newer, bv all peaceful and lawful means, to gel rid of these alien aerfi and that to that end we will not give employment in any capacity to any these coolie slave's. of 2. That we respectfully entreat our fellow citizens of the Anti-Coolie Asso ciation of this city, to unite with us tireservinff the peace and in discounte nancing all lawless methods and pro cesses for the eviction of the Chinese, Miffing as wo do, that by refusing to L'ive employment to them, and by coun seling others so to do, they will be coicpeled to leave through lack of ployment. 3. That inasmuch as the coufti this county and state nre entirely un r.batrucied. and the oflicera of the la are amply empowered to enforce th luw.we are infle xihly opposed to the cr. oniiizjitinn of a viirilanoe committee, which in itself, is as lawlessa hody" a those against which it proposes to or ganize itself. . ,. SiXVESTEtl PMXOTZR. Ths following are the' resolution adopted at' the citizens mass meeting, held at'1 th' courV house March 10, Whereas, A petition was, circulated, and extensively signed r the business. men of Portland, urging the, Board of Tiade to call a mass, meeting . of the citizens to take steps to protect the peace of the city; and . , . Whereas, Said Board, y TraJe, after full consideration of the question,' respectfully referred the po;ition ,to, Governor Moody, hut also express, entire confidence in the ability of the local authorities and state militia to maintain good order in any emergency; and at the same time pledging its mem- , Iters to iitnnd ready to respond to any call that might !? made upon them, t any time for the protection of Jjhe, xjtf and the maintenance of law and order;' and , WniiBEAi, Nothing has occurred since said action of the Board of Trade to diminish conlidcncn in the compe, tency of the civil and police authorities to maintain order and preserye peace;' then fore , , , Resolved, That we, the citizeris of Portland, in mass meetipg assjomhleq,' indorse thq action of the Board of Trade in its expression confidence in the competency of , the state, county and municipal authoiities to preserve the peace of the city, and we hereby pledge them our hearty coioperation and support in maintaining order and enforcing the laws. Resolved, That we deprecate all at. tempts to incite one class of the com munity against another as inimical to the peace and good ordpr of the city, and the only result of which will be most damaging to its growth and pro-pr-rity. ... , Resolved, That as law abiding ci ti ns we will exert our personal in.. uence to discountenance and put down law'e.siiess of any and all de scriptions, and, to that end, the state,,' county and municipal authorities are i . . . ii , , , urgeu to eniorce an me laws ana oral nances of the city jn letter and spirit,' irrespective! ui persons, occupation or nationality. , RMolved, That the presence of the. Chinese in our state is an unmixed and unmitigated evil, and we pledge. ourselves to use all lawful means to rid, ourselves of tho same; and, for the. furtherance of that end, we will not give employment to any Chinaman in any capacity whatever. i'rcocblug and a1 Sunday Welcome. In the CDurse of a speech at Ner Market Theatre on Sunday night, the -epuhlican candidate for Governor made the foflowing statements: 1 have always heen opposed to Chi-. nese immigration, and have practiced, what I preached. When Burlingainn wrote tlio treaty he wrote it to suit himself; it suited the Chinese Govern ment, and it suited ft Democratic Sen-. e. If the United Statta weie to say. now to the Chinese Government that they would like to abrogate the treaty, the Chines would probably accept the proposition. The same night in an address to the peo ple of EastPortland.SlvesterPeh'noyerl' the nominee of the Democrats for Gov ernor, by" reference to the' record; thus exposed," in the following few words the pretended arili-coolie sentiments of tho Washington county aspirant and the untruthfulness of his statement that lie practices what he preaches:' In the Legislature of 1870, Cornel-. ius was a State Senator, when Senator L' .. - r.-i ... :...'-,l..J' ray oi jncHnuii cuunvjr, imiuviuvi-y mi to discourage the employment ot Chinese, which Cornelius voted aainst'.(' Senutor strahttti, or i.inn, (presen nrvioiiipn for Sunreme Judse at the 1 at i y t same session proposed a joint resolu-, ion asking Congress :o alirogate the Burlingame treaty; this also Cornelius ' opposed and voted against, ii Ins actions m these particulars he proved y himself to be the friend of corporate power and the Chinese. No man should hesitate about whonY to cast his vote for Governor.' Cor nelius is both illiterate and' inexperi enced. He could not prepare an in augural adilrese or a message.
