pagans, and that their competition will be
ruinous to white laborers, but tells us that
" it is impracticable to turn back the tide
of Chinese immigration while foreigners
from other shores are welcomed, and im
possible to niake the yellow-haired gen
tlemen (the Chinese) raise thvir price to a
lerel with, that demanded by the sons of
Erin."7 The argument of this is, if the
Chinese will not raise their price.3 to a
level with the Irish, the Irish and other
white laborers must brina; their prices
down to a level with tte Chinese, in order
that the wealthy nabobs of the land may
have cheap labor, and the Republican
party may have material out of which to
manufacture voters for the " loyal eav.se."
Disgusting end reprehensible as it may
be, this is the Radical doctrine and object
in regard to tbe Chinese. Did the labor
ing white population of the United States
uniformly vote the Republican ticket, the
Radical leaders -would not be such warm
champions of the Chinese.
Again, we are told that " to impose re
striciiue measures upon this swarm of
pagan, immigration would be wholly at
variance with the very spirit of our insti
tutions, as well as with our past profes
sions and uniform practices."
Quarry " our past professions and uniform
practices" back to 1SG8 only, the time
when the Republican party, by means of
its treaty with the ICmperorQof China,
opened wide the gates, and offered the
Chinese immigrants inducements equal to
those enjoyed by the citizens and subjects
of the most favored, nations, and thisstate
ment is correct. Rut apply thb assertion
to a period before that lime to a period
when the Democratic party had control ol
this Go crnment, d it is false. At the
time Democracy andDright prevailed in
this country, there was no coaxing of
Chinamen, by treaties or otherwise, to
come here and compete with the white
and respectable laborers of the couatry
in order that the wealthy might have chep
labor. There was no distinction tl
made in favor of the rich and against the
less fortunat??dmt more honest laboring
classes. These distinctions belong to the
present days of bonded aristocracy and
loyal imperialism.
Rut. after insulting the sons of Erin by
drawing invidious comparisons between
them and the Chinese, the Press oilers a
further insult to their judgments by tell
ing them that an influx of this cheap labor
may not be so damaging to them aftel' all.
That " our more ambitious Caucasian la
borers may then become employers,
bosses, overseers, ec; and, instead of
John displacing Patrick, Patrick will lord
it over John." The Press is not alone in
this style of argument. All leading Re
publican journals use the same sophisms
as anodyfies for the laboring whites, whom
that party is crushing in the same manner
that the boa constrictor crushes its prey.
Every one knows that there is no truth in
such statements. Or, if evry one does
not, these persons who formerly worked
in the woolen manufactory of this city,
but whose places are now Glled by China
men, because Chinese labor is Cheaper,
know it know thai they have not been
Qevated to the positions of bosses to
lord it over-' the Chinese, by whom they
nave been displaced. A lew rears more

of Republican rule will completely dis
place the white laborers,and install China
men in their placed) O
How any white laborer Qf common
sense can vote with the party ibafHs con
tinually endeavoring to pull him down to
a lerjl with the Chinese pagansQis more
than we can understand.

John Chinaman is advancing eastward
with steady step. The projectors of the
Cape Cod Canal propose to have Chinese
laborers do the digging, and next Spriug
n large new factory at Manchester is to
be started with the same sort of labor.
Other new enterprises will naturally fol-
low the example. Persons employing a
arge number of unskilled laborers will,
of course, seek the cheapest market ; and,
as it is impracticable to turn back tf lide
of Chinese immigration w hile foreigners
from other shores are welcomed, and im
possible to make the yellow-haired gen
tlemen raise their price to a evW with
that demanded by the sons of Erin, we
must prepare to sec the Celestials gradu
ally work their way into employment all
over tbe countrv.
VA grave question arises here concert

the injury to result to them from such
ruinous competition : and it miirht be
deemed just to impose restrictive measures
npon this swarm of pagan immigration
were not such a policy wholly at variant
with the very spirit of our institution, ns
well as with our past professions and uni
form practices. But, after all, the compe
tition may not prove so damaging as
niight at first thought be supposed. An
influx of cheap labor must greatly s'.imu-"
lata the founding of new industries and
more extensive enterprises. More rail
roads will be built, more canals will be
dug, more new lu; ms will be opened in

spring up, Oar more ambitious Caucasian
laborrrs may then become employers.

The above is from Forney' Press, n
leading Radical paper. In the above ar
ticle there is an uncalled for ,&nd unjust
0 insiuuaticui against the industrious and
Hberty loving Irish, who have left their
own beloved Emerald Isle, and immi
' grated to America in order that they
might make a respectable living for them
selves and famll'ie. and at the eame time
enjoy liberty of conscience. It will be
Temembered, too, that this insinuation is
made against a people who form a very
important portion of tbe population of
the L nited States.
A few days since a number of China
men went through Oregon City on the
cars. The weather being chilly, and
" John" riding on an open car, naturally
crovtchintdown on his haunches, his pro
truding knees suggested the thought, to a
wag of Oregon City, of a sell" on some
body. So otf posted Cihe wag to the edi

lot of what boatmen (and everybody
else) call 'knees' " had bwn carried up on

The foregoing is found in the local col

joke, but noCjrot off at our expense. e
arc sorry, however, that we published it,
for Iie reason that we are averse to in
llictlng pain wherever it can be reason
ably avoided. We know that the Rad
icals are very tender and careful of their
proteges the Chinese and very sensi
tive in regard to any disparaging remarks
made about them : and we might have
known that some oversensitive champion
of the Celestials would construe the joke
into another dirty Democratic " fling" at
these new members of the Republican
party. For the relief of the local of the
Oregonian we will say that there was not
a Chinamen on the traiu) to which we re
ferred, and therefore, the Knees of
Chinese were not the subject of the joke.
The train, however, contained quite a
number of ichite mo iind these men

From this date Captain Couch resided
