For years past the evils of Chinese immigration have been discussed in ’ .every campaign, and on many occa= sions the State Legislature has attempted to check the tide, but in every instances their laws have been unconstitutional and ineffectual. When under Haight’s administration the Democratic patty, now pretending to be so thoroughly anti-Subsidy, was granting aid to railroads with lavish hand, to many of these bills _it-was,preposed to muke the grant conditional, the conditions being that the grant should be void if Chinese labor was employed; but in every instance the conditions were defeated, but there is no question but that it could be made. Anothe abortive attempt of TWasnidiahis . islatures was thp passage ofthe foreign miners tax, by which all foreigners were subjectéd to a monthly n the public: lands. ng all foreigners on the el with Chinamen, this law also unconstitutional. The Re‘publicans in this campaign propose the only cure by which the Chinese immigration may be checked. The _. following is the resolution from the Republican platform on the subject: Resolved, 4th. That weare unqualifiedly opposed to the immigration of Chinese to this State, and hold it to be the duty of our Legislature to urge upon the National Congress the necessity of such a modification of our treaty with China, and the passage’ -of such laws as will effectually pre“vent their further inroads upon us. ~The regolution in the Democratic platform is ambiguous and unintelligible. , It talks about coolieimmigration, and coolie immigration has been prohibited by moral law under the severest penalties for many years. Additienal laws providing _eqndemning the ships and _ inflicting severe penalties upon those who ‘bring them, was passed by the Re‘publican Congress in 1863; So the * Democracy in this county merely declare against an immigration already prohibited, while the Republicans “propose to appeal to Congress to check the immigration of the Chinese to the United States. “Duntne the last month the San Jose woolen mills manufactured and finished 6,256 yards of cassi mere, * 11,400 yards of heavy combed flannel, and 110 of white, 28 pair of brown and 523 pair of gray blankets.

The meeting was held opposite Mr. A, J. Putnami's™hotel~ and after a few stirring pieces from our San Juan Brass Band, the meeting was called to order by Major McBride, who stated that nominations for officers of the meeting were first in order, whereupon Jas. A. Stidger was elected President, Dr. -. A. Jd.Stotlar and Paul Quick, Vice . Presidents, and B. F. — Secretary. . “The President pened “the meeting by introducing Frank Power, Esq.; our candidate for Superintendent of Public Instruction for this county. Mr. Power addressed the many people present in a very forci-“. ble and eloquent manner, upon the blessings 6f free schools, with the fact that the Republicans were now and had always been the friends of these schools, and when a Republi-can Assembly in this State had-passeda bill of compulsory eduction, Democratic State Senate strangled it. Mr. Power wasfrequently applauded, and has made a most favorable impression upon all partles here. The several Republican candidates. for the Assembly were respectively introduced, who each addressed the people in speeches of from ten to twenty minutes in length. Want of ‘time prevents me from referring particularly to their remarks. It is only necessary to state, that the bear-. ing and sound common sense of Messrs. Burt, Atwater, Hatch and “Wheeler, compeiled the admiration of their hearers, and enforced e complimentary remarks fr our political opponents. T will one and all receive the whole Republiean vote from Fréich Corral to Eureka South, : A. A, Smith, of N. Bloornfield, being present, was called out. Mr. Sinith made a good speech. on the aspect of political matters, gave a clear and succient account of the antecedents of the several Republican candidates for the Assembly; showed up the rottenness of the Democratic party, its perfidy, sympathy with the. unreconstructed rebels of the South, and general imbecility of that party. Mr. Smith made am, most glowing speech of half an hour du‘tation, during which he was MOnY applauded. Wm. George, candidate lor Recorder, and Uncle Lije Tompkins, introduced, stated their . positions, etc. Then came our candidate for the Senate, the talented L. W.,Williams, who is so well known throughout this county. He was received with a burst of applause, whieh for ® moment or so prevented his being heard. His speech was a masterly. one, replete with statements of undeniable facts, touching our National and State affairs, the oppressions of the Railroad Company, the record of Mr. O’Connor during his term of office as State Senator, for the last two sessions of our Legislature, his legislation on sectarian appropriations, winding up with a resume of the antecedents of the Democratic candidates for the Assembly, in which he cited one B. P. Northup, a candidate for the Assembly on that ticket, as a bright and shining light of that party, who said in a speech, made at. the late Democratic Convention, that ‘‘I am an unreconstructed Democrat;’” and by the way, Northup, at a meeting of the Democracy, held here last evening, admitted that he stated in the Convention which nominated him, that he was an unreconstructed Democrat.: Mr. ‘Williams occupied the stand about two hours, held his audience closely during the entire time, and gave us the best speech made here for years past. At the close of his remarks, he was greeted with nine rousing cheers, after which the boys made a ‘‘night of it,” and had a good time generally. Mr, Williama’ speech has had a most favorable effect, and dispelled any feeling of disaffection here or elsewhere in this township, which might have existed within our ranks. It is impossible to give a particular resume of Mr, Williams’ speech; enough to say, it was all sound and good. You can rely upon San Juan for a good round Republicai? majériry on the 3d proximo.
