If the inhabitants of Mexico and Brazil, Canada and the United States, were heaped together, they would scarcely equal those of her two Eastern provinces. Add the denizens of Europe to those of America, and the totals will not reach the total of China. Queen Victoria may have a larger empire, but she has fewer subjects than the Son of Heaven. Keang-Su has twice as many persons on a square mile as Belgium, the most thickly peopled corner of Europe. Che-kiang is scarcely less dense than Kiang-Su. The soil is various, and in many provinces rich; but no soil, however fertile, could support such swarms. There must be many mouths unfed. Are they not certain to escape by every open port? 3.

What other proofs are needed that, when Cork and Canton cast out any of their surplus tenants, the starving overflow from Canton must arrive at San Francisco in advance of that from Cork? If China has a mouth unfed, that mouth is likely, if American ports are open, to seek for food within the Golden Gate. 2. Chireign soil. But when the ports are open and the act is free, there is a chance that men of some good qualities may come out. Roughs of all kinds have come to San Francisco; yet the settlers from Europe, as a rule, have not belonged to the criminal class. How stands the great account with China? Has an American statesman any guamuch reason for suspicion. All the females, it is known, are slaves; professional harlots in their own country, bought in Canton by slave-dealers, and sent to San Francisco by these slave-owners, with the avowed object of living in this country a life of shame. The males, whether refuse of the prisons or of the streets, belong as

In arms these Mongols may be met and crushed, but how are such enormous numbers to be dealt with in a ballot-box? 5. These Asiatics hurt the European settlers, not only in faith and morals, in law and literature, but in the lower regions of animal life.

Who can assure us that these streams will ever stop? By preference these Mongols make for California; first, because the voyage is cheap and easy; second, because the climate suits them; third, because the pay is higher and the market wider than they find elsewhere. From California they go to Oregon by sea, to Nevada, Idaho, and Montana by land. In Utah they have found few markets, the Mormons being as sober and laborious as themselves. Yet even in Salt Lake City they have found a lodgment. They arrive in shoals, and every year those shoals expand in size.

he same right, the same vote. Majorities decide. The voice of the people is the voice of God. From the decisions of a majority there is no appeal. In that universal and ideal republic which is the dream of French socialists and Italian patriots, we should all be subject to the swarm. Luckily the new theory of governing by swarms is limited by the yet newer doctrine of grouping in nationalities.

His magistrates may enforce the wearing of pigtails and the worship of ancestors. Accustomed to slavery, polygamy, and infanticide in their own country, how can Chinese magistrates be hindered from allowing a Yellow brother to buy slaves, to marry several wives, and drown unwelcome babes? A Californian thinker sees that the Mongol question in America is-Shall European civilization or Asiatic barbarism prevail on the Pacific Slope?
