The Daily Transcript,
NEVADA CITY, CALIFORNIA.
TUESDAY, JUNE 8, 1869,THe PRimanies—The Primaries of
“the Union party will be held in accord. .
Correspondence,
NEVADA, June 6th, 1869.
Editor Transcript :—In testimony of
. my consistency as an advocate of uni-~
versal “education, I wish to appeal,
through your columns, to the. men and
women of Nevada, in behalf of the
Chinese school of this city, in which I
am a teacher. “The existence of such a .
r ae
oe
In the mean time we want teachers.
Come, you who desire the goodof the
country, the welfare and advancement
of her interests, and time will attest the
value of your labor. The effort to edu‘cate should be made now. Alrtady in
our midst idol worship is_going on.
The noise incident to the .“Josh house”
importance of missionary labors at home
on Saturday, the 10th of July, and on
the Saturday following the votes will,
be canvassed by the Central Committee.
The new plan has been fully discussed,
and it is well understood that under it
each voter has the opportunity to vote
for his preference as & candidate for
each office. The nominating power
has been taken out of the hands of a
Convention, and’the republican’ idea
that every man has a right toa voice
in selecting oflicers, applied to political
parties, giving every member a right to
. school is undoubtedly -well known to
the-majority-of our people; than whom
none enjoy a brighter reputation abroad
for liberalizing principles, and yet at
the Wednesday evening sessions there
are usually not more than ten or twelve
teachers'present. The Chinamen, who
have been in the habit of attending
thirty or forty strong, are rapidly becoming disgusted at the want of attention shown them, and many have ceased
eoming to the school. It; to me has
seemed somewhat strange that among
three or four hundred members—ofvote in the selection of candidates.—
This being the case, it is the bounden
‘duty ofl! true Union men to vote at
the primary elections, Many good men
refused to vote for delegates because
“thoy affirmed that Conventions were’
managed by wire pullers. This reason
cannot be urged against the Crawford
plan, ifthe masses will come out. It
is useless to argue that the most perfect system mtty be abused, or by negiO Food men
the Union voters of Nevada county de
termine that the new plan shall have
a fair test in the ensuing election.
The candidates who enter the contest, while they are perfectly justified
in conducting the fight with spirit and
energy, should remember that they are
members of the great Union party attached to its principles, and are there‘foré bound to so conduct themselves,
that good feeling may exist among
them. They propose to submit their
claims for-office to the voters of the
party, as they have a perfect right to
do, and we are confident. though the
cativass will be lively,it will be friendly.
All. Union. men, should remember
that unity of sentiment and attachment to principle are the great elements of strengthin a contest, and even
in the midst of the primary contest
,, nothing should be done to lessen or destroy them: Those who attempt it
should be discountenanced by the voters. Let the masses recollect that each
candidate is seeking their support on
the ground that he is attached to the
party-and -qualified-for the position. —
Every ‘man in the party has the-right
to make up his own ticket and should
vote so as, to secure for the party 2 good
ticket. It is an important matter, and
we have no doubt the duty will be
conscientiously discharged’ by/ Union
men.of the county.

CHARACTER oF LAND.—The following letter relative to the designation of
lands on public surveys will, be inter~

seem, particularly in this State; to labor
under all the obloquy which it is pos.
sible to heap upona people. Prejudice .
seems to attach, with the masses, to
everything concerning Chinese. Chi~

ity, and fit only for the performance of
menial servitude, and—miay not some
questions relative to these facts be here
appropriately put? What has been the
occasion, or what is the foundation of
this existent and wide spread prejudice
against the Chinese? Have they, in
proportion to number, been guilty of
more crimes or outrages against law
and order than any other people? Have
they not, as @ class, proved as tractable
and industrious as any other? Is there,
to the cool, dispassionate judgment of
any one sufficient ground for the pre~
vailing prejudice against them? Why
has not the attempt to remove the
greatest difficulty under: which they
labor, met with more encouragement.
The presence of an uneducated or igs
norant:class in a community, certainly
exercises‘a deleterious influence upon
that community, and through patriot~
ism, if by no other motive actuated,
every one should seek to uplift and
emancipate from the thraldom of ignorance those unfayored-by fortune. I
am not the advocate of Chinese éduca=
tion in preference or to the exclusion of
any other people; but to all other foreigners are the doors of our public
schools open. Advantages are extended
all other aliens, which .to this most
numerous Class, this race destined yet
tu wield immense power and overcome
great obstacles in the development of
our resources, have neyer been granted.
Upon the rostrum, I have heard political speakers exhaust their powers of
invective, make earnest appeals and
attempts at eloquence to prove the Chi.

“opium smoking,” “chicken: stealing,”
‘flat nosed and brainless Celestial,” have
been bestowed upon him by wholesale,
and yet (pardon me for speaking derogatorily of my own people), I have found
in asnort experience as a teacher, that
the energy with which they apply them‘Selve to the task of learning to read our
language goes beyond any efforts I have
seen Americans make for the acquiremeat of knowledge ; no race cat surpass them in quickness of comprehenslou OF retentiveness of memory.
The Chinese population of this State

THE following curious sentence,
“‘Sator arepo tenet opera retas” is not
first-class Latin, but can be freely
translated, “I cease from my work ; the
sower will wear away his wheels.” It
has these peculiarities: First, it spells
backward and forward the same ;—seeond, the first letters of each word spell
the first word ; third, all’ the second letters of each word spell the second word;
fourth, all the third, and so on through
the fourth and fifth; and then we find
that the last letters of each word spell
the first word; the next to the last of
each word spell the second word, and
so on through.
