To (m VituiUnt 0 Iht Utiinlti Sm We the undersigned merchants and shipowners of Boston, respectfully request that you will convey to the honorable body of which you U the head, our belief that the treaties re rantly ncgotisttd with China are injuriois to ins lnieresis anil con im-rco 01 the country, unjust In their discrimination, and their ef feet scainst our vessels in carrying trade in Ciina and unwise and uncalled for by any .circumstances in the existing relations be. trwecn tho two countries. We would resnect. ally urre uiion its consideration! First That ins mint 01 the Hilical treaty are deroga tory to the dignity of the United States in dealing with a semi-civilired yet arrogant gov ernment. Second That tho conditions of the commercial treaty are not only unnecessary and useless over commercial privileges Wing already estJibll'hed bv previilnt treaties to tho mutual sititfactiili of the two countries, but are actually hurtful. That the result of that embassy sent from our shores w relievo 111 from a previous error in diplomacy should I new agreement to our own disadvantago in all its clauses seems to us its clauses are as unprecedented as it is unfortunate. The memorial is signed by John T. Forbes k Co , and nineteen oilier mercantile III ins, Its positive and sweeping assertions, unsup ported by argument or specifications, are not likely to excite any intlueuco on the Scuato at large, but th memorial will doubtless serve to stimulate the opposition already threatened by certain Senators from New Knulaiul, It must be said, however, that the near aniimach of the constitutional vioto of the session and the great pressure of accumulated business have now the etlect of making even a small opposition formidable by reasou of the abun dant opportunities for interposing delays, ami it tbervtoro begins to liok as it the final con slderation of the Chinese treaties may after all bo otpoiicd for a special session of tho next beiute. Chairman I'-aton, nevertheless, is still hopeful that he will succeed in calling them up (or action Uloie tho Ith of March, and in this etcnt their prompt r-Uiticatioii may lie considered certain, l.iilUry Ik-alrr "-rilleurril.
