opium to sm<>ke and make them greater beasts
than they are already by nature. To ask.
or even to hint at bringing white men into
competition with these unclean harpies, is an
insult to our civilization. Yet it has been
going on in California for years. Some day
this monstrosity will spread all over the con
tinent, only to be broken by the accord of ex
asperated millions. And fbr tl e uawn of
that day “your petitioners will ever pray.”
Thank the Lord, the party of cheap labor
is in the minority in this State, and we pray
it long may be so. Some day the fast increas
ing price of land in the Mississippi valley will
force an immigration hither that will do us
some good. Six thousand Irish ami German
men and women landed in New York in a
single day this month, and the cry is still
“they come.” Welcome to them, for they
are born to civilization and Christianity and
will be a benefit to our country. Welcome
to them, and welcome the day, when the last
Mongolian shall be driven from the shores ol
America.

The Celebration of the Fourth.
c
EXCELSIOR’
...............
Notwithstanding tne fact that the Fourth
was celebrated at the neighboring towns
of Ashland and Rock Point, there were
in attendance at the celebration at this
place, about fifteen hundred souls. The af
lair was in all respects s
«noceea, and
gave general satisfaction. The Marshals
and Committees acquitted themselves credit
ably, and good order ruled the day. Thai
grand old instrument—the Declaration of Ln
dependence—was well road by Ex-Sheriff
Reames. The oration, delivered by L ifayette
Lane, Esq., was one of the best efforts of the
kind ever made in Southern Oregon ; and
we doubt if it has been equaled in the State,
or excelled on the Coast; and it is a matter
• •f regret that the direction of the breeze was
such ns to prevent a large portion of the as
semblage from hearing it ; yet trust that it
inav be published, as it is worthy of every
man’s perusal. The “Colony Car” was the
centre of attraction, as it contained thirteen
beautiful young ladies—representing the
Thirteen Colonies—who sang patriotic songs
in beautiful style ; and like every other fel
low, we admired those girls—for the Sake of
their songs—nod loved them—for the sake of
the old colonies. Another car contained
thirty-seven pretty little girls, each one called
after one of the thirty seven States. The
Army and Navy were represented in both
cars, bv handsome young men. The wonder
•»f the occasion was the procession of Fool
killers, who arrived on the ground (Bybee’s
Grove) ab<>ut 3o’clock. Their costumes were
grotesque in the extreme, and their masks
varied from comic to frightful. Many chil
dren, and some old ladies, were terribly
frightened, and one young lady fainted en
tirely. At their roll call, some of our most
dignified and pious citizens heard their names
called and answered to. They in »de speech
es, which corresponded well with their queer
rigs and ludicrous actions. It was a laugha
ble and gigantic comedy ; and the Foolkillers
are deserving of many thanks, as having fur
nished such amusement to the crowd at their
own expense. The heat was so great that
the masks melted and stuck to their faces ;
and many Were entirely prostrated before
reaching town, and have scarcely yet recover
ed. But one accident, of a serious nature,
occurred during the day ; and that was the
riding down of a child by a careless horst
man. The r<>ad belongs as much to a person
on foot as to one on horseback, arid being
wide at the point in question, the horseman
could and should have given most of the
road to the child, particularly as he was rid
ing at full gallop. There were many wit
nesses to the affair, and we wait to see if the
law will only wink at the offense, or will try
to punish the offender.
The oracular declaration of Seward that
there ie an. “irrepressible vonfint between
slavery ancf free labor,” has lost none of its
finance by the entranohising of the black
man. The struggle is now assuming a diff
erent shape, though as yet the Pacific States
alone are the seat of the contest. The whole
country has not so tar begun to feel the de
. grading contagion of Chinese labor, but be

older States. Massachusetts • has

of the equality of races, while California has
been equally industrious in refuting it. A
