Second Day's Proceedings of I the State Convention. A MEMORIAL TO CONGRESS. The Platform— The Boycott Adopted— An Extended Debate. SCENES OF (iKEAT EXCir. MEM L.IST M«HT.

Speeches by General Hidwell, Frank M. Pixley, A. A.Sartjent, Senator Keddy, Laura I)e Force Gordon and Others.

The Convention was called to order yesterday at K4S A. M. The Chair requested that the members of the Convention, individually aad collectively, give him their assistance in maintaining order, and thus expedite business. During the time the Convention is in session, all members were requested to keep their seats, so that the confusion of Wednesday should not be repeated. Xo member should be allowed to speak lint once upon the same question, and all members, when they addressed the Chair, should rise, give tluir names and the organization which they represent.

< Mi motion of Marcus 1). Uorm-k, " ('listing's Manual " was adopted as the rules governing the proceedings of the Convention.

A member of the San Jose liraneh, from Bsnta Cruz, ottered a resolution allowing two of their numbers to have thirty-four votes for Hie labor organizations they represent. The two delegates wore M<\~srs. Hoffmeyer and Haskill. This brought <>vi a spirited and acrimonious debate. A motion to l;iy upon tbe table was lost. C. F. Mclila-liaii, Noble Fisher and Duncan afePhsroon made strong speeches in favor of their admission. Messrs. Esteo, Kellogg and others opposed it. J. (_'. MeTaninhan, of Sonora, made a vigorous .speech, denouncing the ruling of the Chair on Wednesday as arbitrary. His credentials from the Sonora club had been refused, and lie demanded that his name be placed upon the roll. Noble Fisher said the San Jose Conventijn had been admitted in its entirety, and they must be accepted bag and baggage. They did not propose to lose one of their delegates. They had come to stay, and had brought with them their sisters and their cousins and their aunts. Mr. McUlashan said the labor leagues referred to were entitled to a representation in the San Jose Convention. They were just as much entitled to a vote and voice as any other delegate in the Convention. After much diactUMoa, Messrs. Hortmeyer and Haskell were allowed to repreprescnt the thirty-four organizations, which gives them thirty-six votes — a little monopoly of itself. W. U. SauHey, of Santa Clara, introduced the following resolution :

Kaolvfd, That no man who is now directly employing or patronizing Chinese be placed on our Committee on Resolutions. The resolution was signed by twenty-two name?, aixl when rcail was louJly «p---plaaded. Speeches were made by alarge number who were in favor of its passage. Frank Pixley said if the resolution was passed he would move that the Committee on iti'solulions prepared by the Chairman he read mm m!! gentlemen who could not show clean banda should step down and out.

II r. N't wl;ii;!s, of San Francisco, said the passage of that resolution meant the denying ibe privileges of this Convention to a number of delegates. H-fuse a delegate the rij^Lt to a • position on a committee and you refuse him the ri^ht to exercise bis privileges as a representative. He bettered this country was intended for '.he wliite race, but the Chinese had been invited here, they Were axtt gaests, and they should have the protection the law rave Ihem. We must maintain our plighted faith frith them kindly. Give the preference to the white man, but do ii"i fierce our individual Ideas upon our ncinliii'T. Sevii.>l mem beg claimed that a man who employed I 'hittpsff had no ri^ht on the tioor ol Uic OouvuKion. Tlkv were boycotters, and each remark of this character was loudly applauded. Mr. MeiCiialii, <•! Ali!!iie<l:v coun'y, sai.i they had assembled to consdei tnc greatest ouMtiun thai hud ever been broo^ht before the people of the 8 ate. So &r all ifffurtsin this direi li.m iiad proven futik-. All v>-e <■ vi do id by the wisdom Of OUT covtsel fnrni an impression on Congress, and thereby >;-iin CoMressional aid, t lie only tiling; that can afll i\l us any relief. We came here for an exchange of ideas, and it is a good thing that both classes are represented. The San Jose Convention comes in here like a unit. Tinir rjnladi are made up: Uiey have nothing to deliberate opraj. They are in favor of a boycott. [Crits of"'Yesl yesl"] We want Hun upon ; liat com mi tteeoi'conaerv.uive. minds, who can present to Congress oar grievances: in such Isngnage and terms as will result in tire most good, and thus aid in the passage of Senator Mitchell's bill. If yon pass the resolution under consideration you disfranchise every man uiion this floor who employs Chinamen. [Cries of " He has no busiaees here ; lire him out !"] He may bejust as much in favor ol getting rid of the Chinese as Mr. McGlashan or any member of the San Jose Convention. We believe in the use of all lawful means. and a man who believes in using unlawful means has no business here. He should not be allowed to participate in the proceedings of this or any other Convention. The resolution was impolitic and should not pass. If the proceeding of this Convention create an imDNMion in the East that we are riotous out here, it will do our cause great harm in Congress. The Chinamen come here under the plighted faith of the conntry. and that plighted faith must be maintained. Let us do nothin;.' illegal. The Mongolian has crept into a thousand avenues of labor, and it is impossible to exclude them all! and at once. [Cries, " Nothing impossible to Boycott. He settles therbusiness."] Let us act temperately, and pass such acts only as will tend to assure the people of the Kast that we are law-abiding; that we are suilering from a great evil. Do not exclude a member from thi.i Moor because lie has a Chinaman in his employ. This question of Chinese labor has a growth of thirty-six years. and cannot be readily pulled out by the roots. Dennis Kearney said he favored the resolution as introduced. He said gentlemen were present who represented pro-Chinese organizations. We have all met on a level for once, capital and labor. Give them all a chance. Let us meet with a liberal spirit. Let us hear no more hissing, as was indulged in a few moments ago, when Mr. Pixley took tbe floor. If Colonel Bee himself wa3 here, a representative on this floor, common decency, common courtesy, would demand from him, at tbe hands of this Convention of representative men, a respectful hearing. This is the first time that the employe and employer have been brought together, and let the meeting result in coo.l. The man who employs Chinese labor loves slaves ; but we propose to boycott the employer of Chinese slaves. We propose to be lenient ; but the time has come in California when we must boycott the Chinese, and the Chinese must go Dr. Matlock, of Red Bluff, the man whom it is asserted was imported especially to sit down on Frank Pixley, said : We carve here to organize for the purpose of riddine the State of California of the Chinese evil. lam in favor of that resolution.

It has something of the right ring about ! it Die time has arrived in this conflict whether Chinese laborers must go to the ' wall or the white laborers of California . forced toabandon her golden -bores. When ! this agitation commenced I sail to mv i Chinaman, go; and l was in such a hurry I about rtddins myself of his presence that I I almost overlooked the fad that there was i a small amount due him for wages ! [Laughfn;.] \\Y must pet ri(] bof this Chinese curse. We do not propose to use cnlawfnl means! hut will administer a physic of boycott in i allopathic OOMS. [CbeeKand laughter] We look in vain to Congress for a redress of! oar wrong*, a relief from our sufferings We appeal to them for bread, and ttwTtnve us a stone under the left rib. [Lnvhter] Menbeman opposing this resolution because they are r.ow employing Chinese Let them discharge the Mongolian, and then they can got in our boat and ride. :>.n<! ' not before. [Cheers.] Let the people rise i in their majesty, destroy this evil.' but in ' (ining so proceed leg*], within the bound.-' i of law. The Chinese slavery is worse to- I day in California, more deinora'.izin" in I its efl'cct. than was ever that of African I slavery in the South, the abolition of which I cost this nation a million ot lives and billions of money. Let tuose genttaaen' who are afraid to speak their souti■MDta for tear of offending a Chrhaman stand from under. The day of (adment has come at last ; the day of 'jubilee is here. Pass this resolution, by all means. We want the resolutions of this Convention ! molded in the molds of honest labor, and ! not in the molds owned and controlled by | capital. [Immense cheers.] We want no ; miscarriage in ours, and by the eternal gods no abortions shall be produced hero i if we can help it. [Cheers and laughter] ' My friend l'ixley don t like the word "boy- : cott." It is a grand word ; a something j which, when properly used, will solve once j and forever this vexed question. [Cheers ] ' It is bard to take the selfishness oat of a man's soul and replace it with patriotism. ! The day ot judgment Is here, and woe be to i the man who baa no oil in his lamp. He i bad better get out. [langbter.] in Te- ■ hama eonnty vve arc systematically boy- j cotting, and we further propose to carry I th? Rood work into Africa if necessary to ! righl the wrongs of oppressed and illy-paid ; laimr. There is no difference between a ' white Chinaman and a yellow one. We i want neither, and propose to boycott both. This is a conflict ot ideas, of the people on BBS side and the money bags on ; the other. There is no rxnestion but that the result lies with the people them- j selves. He had the utmost respect ! for the National Government and the laws i of the country, but if there is any law anywhere Which makes a boycott illegal.! want them to produce it." The time has come when we demand that a white man shall be allowed tosell his labor at least m\ an equality with the Chinaman. After several short speeches the motion ; was put and carried amidst the loudest enthusiasm. General Bid well offered the following resolution : fffftmf. That National and State Constitutions and laws should be so amended as to guarantee to labor theumplest protection, to the end that there may be no necessity for liibor or another organizatioa or combination unknown to the laws. The resolution was ordered referred to i the proper committee. The President named the following gentlemen as the Committee on Resolutions : First Congressional District— K. F. Dinsmore, Siskiyou ; A. M. McCov, TehamaP. K. Davis', Humboldt. Second Congressional District— C. F. SfcOlashan, Nevada; V. S. Gregory, Amador; G. H. Crosette, Butte. Third Congressional District— E. Frisbie, Solano; Joseph Steffens, Sacramento; E. J. McKlrath, Alameda. Fourth Congressional District— W. B. May, San Francisco ; X. 0. Cornwall, San ] Ifateo; P. J. Marvin, Ban Francisco. Fifth Congressional District— M. D. Boruck, San Francisco; D. ICePhenon, Santa Cruz; Horace Davis, San Francisco. Sixth Congressional District— M. It. M; rritt, Monterey; J. M. (larretson, Santa Barbara; S. E. Crowe, Santa Barbara. James O'Meara offered the following resolution, which, after its reading, was ruled out of order : Remind, That there shall be no one appointed on the Committee on Resolutions who wears Chinese-made shoes, who smokes Cliinesc-made cigars, or who wears a Chincse-lani'dried shirt. ' Frank Pixley moved that all serious resolutions, couched to respectful language, be read by the Secretary, and without debate be referred to the Committee on Resolutions. Carried. All of the Committee on Resolutions were then called up and the test of whether or not they directly employed Chinese was applied. Marcus D. Borock was the only absentee, be having taken the train for his home in San Francisco. All answered the question in the negative and all declared by the Chair to be eligible. Dr. May said his wife employed a Chinese cook, but be promised jo commence a series of boycotts upon his better half on his return home, and so his disability was removed. John F. Swift madea motion that a committee be appointed to prepare an address and memorial to Congress. Carried. The Chair appointed as such committee i Messrs. Swiit, Sargent, Anthony, Davis and i Morehouse. Recess until '.', r. m. Alli'i im.tii Session. The Convention reconvened at ■" r. a. John F. Swift, < bairtuan of the Committee On a Memorial to Congress, read the committee's report, which was as follows: HXKO&I .\L TO (XMTGBMS.

"That there is more mure money profit in dollars in a homogeneous population than in one of mixed 'races, while the moral and political ob- I jections are unanswerable.

Among our other duties as American citizens ! we hold ourselves to be the trustees of posterity We are keeping the soil of this fair land tor the ' 80.000,900 Americans of our own race and kin- ! dred \\ ho are to come after us. To bartt r away I their places « hile they arc yet unborn is a gross ' | violation of duty. To do so under the pretense i of humanity, morality or uatioual generosity is to add the sin of hypocrisy to that which w"ithout it, would be a great public crime. • jur common ancestors came to the American continent to found a State. The greatness of a] nation dees not li i in its money or in its mate- ' rinl prosperity, but iv its men and women: and I not in their number, but in their ojuaUty, in ' their virtue, honor, integrity, truth, und. above ' | ail things, in their courage and manhood. To a nation that is to remain free the capacity Ito fight is indifpeasable. It is not enough tha'r. it be able to trade and barter, or to work and produce: k must be able to fight and defend what it ha*. The nation that cannot defend itself agniust i all (••liners will find that itsdiys are numbered; and this is as true in the nineteenth century as ; in any other age ofthe world. The strong nations ot the earth Rre n<>w. as they always have been, the most thoroughly | homogeneous nations, thnt is to say, the most nearly of one race, language and manners. And when they are of one race, it is not so material what race, as that they be of a pure race The purest-blooded man of any race is the strongest man of that race. The largest body of men of a single pure race ou the earth to-day, is in China. 1 here are four ! hundred and fifty million of them, as like as ' one barleycorn is like another. All the white I men on the globe, whenever so carefully count- ' cd. scarcely amount to so much, and they are ! divided into a score or more of independent sovereignties, ten times as many languages, and as for religious sects, the boldest statistician has ! not the courage to attempt their enumeration. | W hil» we oi the European race are divided into fifty hostile raaips. and tight each other like so many savage Aptehes, « hina is one and Indivisible. They are as united and homogeneous as France. And though the Chinese arc as timid as a flock of sheep, know nothing of physical science ! and its resources, and have none of the arts of I attack and defense, yet the very inertia of that i hu','e mass of crystallized homogeneity has thus fi'.r withstood the plundering instincts of the Western Powers, and China remains unconi|U"red. There I hey stand, one full third of the human I rue.-, a great, invincible, concrete, ethnological j (act. commanding respect and requiring mankind to pause and consider whether the Chinese I may not yet, without discharging a gun or! drawing a sword, gently elbow the rest ot the human family off the planet. And if they have such force unarmed, what will they do when they learn, as they will some time, the art of war .' These is no such complete and unanswerable .' demonstration of the power of rare homogeneity on the globe, as (he example of China. All political history shows homogeneity to be avast power In a State, and that heterogeneity ta a corresponding source oi weakness. The great Statesof Europe— England, Frame, I Germany and Rural«— those powers that domi- ; nate the world, are so entirely of one race, that the presence ofa Mack or red or yellow man In i any of those countries outside the great cities. ■ is -a subject of wonder and astonishment. Anil race prejudice or antagonism, that un- | failing concomitant of nice contact and (Motion, w scarcely known there. No State where the gnat distinct types ofthe human Epeeiea have been mixed together on I une ten Itory, has ever held power for any i considerable time. And do race of mongrels, if I such a thing is possible, has ever held empire, i or even kept its own independence. In the very dawn of history, the Carthageni ' ani — the dominant class of which were white I men from Syria, while the masses were Africans of various types- encountered the purebl oded native! of ltalv. and went down before them. li is said they succumbed U) Ihe Roman ! sword. They were conquered by pure. Roman courage and Roman muscle, cemented Into ' singleness of purpose by race homogeneity. When later on, through conquest, the Roman • Km; in: had come tocousi-t of tne mixed races of Western Asia, she transferred her capital to the shores of the BosphorUS, and Was in turn overthrown by the lurks, a race of pure Hat-faced Mongolians from east of the Caspian sea. The once mast, r race of Turks, haviiig become mixed nud hybridised with all the mongrels of ! Africa and the Last, now la the Qinteenth century tind themselves about to tie expelled from Europe, lacking stength to hold th'r place the.r pure-blooded ancestors conquered tor them. The inhabitants of Egypt have always been a mixed nud parti-colored people. aLd have always been in slavery to some pure-blooded power. Alexander at the heado his Mace- i cloDi.m Greets seized them and founded a dynasty, which settled down and UyoTidized with the natives with a similar result. Their next masters were the Turks, and the En Jish now hold them in subjection. liy the last census 266,000.000 of human beings inhabit the peninsula of Hindustan, the most pro.iii.tr.,- spot on the globe. The soil produces three gciod crops' a year. They possess everything to make a hnppv people, i: soil and climate would do it. In ihe worda Of bishop Hcber, "Every prospect pier ses and only man is vile." For they are cursed with th< evil of heterogeneity in everything. In the Indian village the inhabitants are often of several ditl'erent races or subdivisions of three or lour rac.s, differing both in co.or and physical type, while their antagonism is so inuns-' that, though born in the -aim- village, they cannot | sleep in the sitine camp, or eat of the same food, or drink at the nme fountain, least tsey be defiled and cast out us utu lean by their .n □ . As a cr.-.iseciucnce of ihcse facts, and as a direct and natural r sultof them, this fair land of India with its 288,G00,000 of mixed und mingled races, its mongrels and hall breeds, i- a great slave pen to Qreal liiitain. One hundred thoasaad blue eyed, parebioodcl Anglo-Saxons tell this mighty throng of parti-colored humanity to go and they go, to eomesand they come. The English time advuntHge of Indian heterogeneity to subjugate the luud. They arm and drill the Mah.-attas and si I them over the BeDga!c»e. The Kohilla* are held in check by tue Beikhs, while the flatfaced, almond-eyed Ghoorkas of >>< paul terror- I iZK boh Mussulman and Hindoo, with kidfe at I throat. Rich one of these sees in the other a l>orn enemy, more hateful if possible, than the EngUahmao, and at the word of command kills li m with unmixed delight.

Bands of armed emigrants from Denmark and I north Germany poured in upon the British I*l 1 mds in the early centuries of the Christian era, i and the Normans ove! run central and southern Europe. In both instances they wire, resitted I in the same way they came, with force and anus. There was then no thought of I lie rights • >• men to emigrate in pursuit of happiness. The Empetotsof Russia at various period! in ! the history of th»t country, and especially toI wards- the dose of the lust century, invited Ger--1 "nan immigration, and there is no doubt that I tue result in that ease proved the ■ isdom ofthe ! i>olicy: but it was a people of her own race and religion, and who assimilated with the natives ! ofthe country iv a single generation. Onr eouatry has without doubt been benefited by the eomiiiK hither of emigrants from Europe of our own race and religion, some speakingour own language and all speaking closely allied languages, and with similar manners and customs — peop'e who have become identical with ourselves, in a short time. How long now this character of immigration will continue to be beneficial is problematical. It therefore appears that immigration even of j [>eople of the same race and general type of the I human family, of people capable of rapid as- | similation with the possessors of the country is sometimes beneficial and sometimes mischievous, depending upon circumstances that are liable to change. But we assert that the immigration, whether voluntary or forced into a country, of nonassimilative races is always an unmixed evil I and a public calamity. The same spirit of greed and avarice which i.i ; nt the bottom of the coolie immigration of this | age, lay at the bottom, and was the impelling i motive for the forced immigration of African ! slaves into the country all through the eightteenth century. No doubt the slave-traders and slave-purehas-I crs of that day tried to make t'ue world believe ih.it they were doing good, and that their moI tiyes were noble and patriotic. Men are fond of giving themselves credit for lofty motives iv ail they do. No doubt they talked loudly a!>out developing the resources ofthe country, und about Christianizing the poor African. Hut at the bottom was the old Mammon of cheap labor, and the mouey to be got out of it. The world lias not changed much. The seltishness of those men lnis already borne much bitter iruit ; through it the curse of race hetrogencity has taken deep root in the soil ot our common country, nut of that evil we have had one blof.dy war for which the nation has not yet thrown off its mourning. But the war was not' ing to « lint it left behind. It is true that it has settled the slave question. Hut the negro question, the question of the relations between the white man and the black man. and the relations of each to the w iiiti- has only just begun. Twenty generations of men will not see it ended. Ami our fellow-countrymen at the South who are compelled to cany on a government under such conditions, to preserve order and maintain law and civilized society, are entitled to the sympathy o! all thoughtful neODle; they have. a task, the difficulties of which are not appreciated. But for the elTort to get cheap labor a hundred yean sgo all the States of the Union, from the Lakes to the Milt, would to day have the nuns p ople. the same prosrerity. and the same political system, same schools and academies, that now exist i;i I'cniisvlvania, Ohio and Illinois. The only difieronec. it any, v.ould be that the territory south ol the < >hlo, h.-:\ Ing tbe mildest olimate and the richest soil, wo*ild now have the densest population ;:i;.i most rapid pp ;;ud development, and the greatest accumulation 01 wealth and enlightenment. N there any man i asi or west, north or south, white or colored, who. alter reflect] in, will not admit that ii would be better r toe colored man had ' een left in Africa, und the Southern States were without race friction and race autagonism? But for the mixed population of the Booth those states would never have gone to war; there would have been no rebellion. And had they gone to war, having 12,000,000 while men united hi sentiment us th" whi'e men were. Instead of 8,000,000 white and 4,000,01X1 colored. Rndlightiug as they did a defensive war on iatrr.or Hoes, they could not have been couqucred. Their weaknes--. which, like blind Fnmpson, they saw not, lay iii the 4,000,000 men of another race planted there in the heart of their country, carrying information, aid and comfort to tlie enemy, always requiring to be watched, and whom they did not dare to trn-t with arms. ;t wi 1 bo s:ii'i that this was liecause they were slaves, it Is doabtftd if they would be more .!.".ng' runs, anil a greater source of weokBeat frea than as slaves. If the South should Ini - c another war, they would find this to be the Case. And if ever tbli country is Invaded by a for "Un tbe, it ii in South Carolina, and in'l.ou:-; ana and in Florida the enemy will atteu.pt a lodgment Not because <>i tbe disloyalty ofthe white population, but the Indifference, the discontent, tbe disaffection of the colored. And ns for the difficulties of governing such a so-i-iity, even in tim- of peace, il is only infatuation or Ignorance that does not see it now, from day to day. As it now is, it will always be, while race heterogeneity exists there. We doubt if a genuine republican Government, as we Americans understand the term, meaning a Government in which all the people ptpv< m. participate equally, under the conditions existing in the south, namely, with onethird of the population ot one race an 1 twothird* of another, is a practicnl possibility. One race will always dominate the other, and no power can prevent It, except by destroy ing the liberties ol Ixitli. They can only be equal uttoo servitude, that overwhelms both. We do not undernke to s»y v. hid. race will rule the other: that will vn;-.- v, iih circumstances, dependirn; upon their relative numbers and strength. In the Booth, just Dew. his tbe white race that dominate*; In run Domingo It Is tbe blaes. We do n t put these race antagonism and the fruit of them upon supput ■! mi] rinrily :•{ i ne. race over ::.'■ other. These arc terms the thoughtful man wiii be very caotki ploying on*- race may be tho rapr^orfor one place, and not for another.

They were ponding ainl iutriguing hik) plotting with cvcr> public enemy, and especially with England, the umjsi dangerous of them all. The position of France, then as now. sur rounded by powerful and aggr-. ssive Btates, was one of great peril ; and the Huguenots contributed at all tiinc- tomaterialli increase this danger by I •■•> lisaffection and disloyal uiaeli•is. fu this n i.n' .'t least, their departure wus a distinct benefit to Trance. •Sadoubl thfcj were a considerable advantage iiii.'i and that lbe was the gainer iv i by iiieir coming. They were in accord with the English on the very point of their disagreement with the Frenes j«oplc— :i\iii of religion — and they carried over with them well-established habits of Industry and thiift. considerable, t kill in the ana and more or less money. But France iva.* not the lr>*er, nor iv the long ran wen- the Huguenot*. They found a country where the people agreed with them, while Fiance obtained homogeneity and peace, which khe sorely Deeded : and us for the arts she has ever slaee held and utill holds the first place. One hundred years after the departure of the Huguenots, .Mien France was making that supreme eflorl against despotism that has made the «ge memorable, and when the allied monarcbj of Europe, with great urmies, -very at her frontiers, France now became the most homo geneooa people on thegiobe ss homogeneous as China — rose up as one man, confronted coalesced tyranny, erect and delimit, and " hurled at its lei t v gage of battle the head of a king," and drove them back No heterogeneous population, no nation or mongrels that ever existed, could have stood In tlie place of France In 1192 and survive l as an indepeii'l' nt i>o\ver. Had the Huguenots remained in France « itl.out materially changing their manners, ihcy must have been nn element of weakness ar.ii mipht have ruined the country.

Such a thing is only possible where there exists gome prejudice or antagonism that divides the people of the country against each other. There are various causes of antagcuiism that will produce this effect, but race friction ia the most unfailing. That always disintegrates aud destroys the very bond and fiber of a nation. To give another example of the strength of homogeneity, we point to Chile, which country within tlie last two orthree years has conquered both Bolivia and I'eru. Anyone might have foretold in advance what would have been the outcome of a war between those countries. Chile is the nearest to a pure-blooded people of all the nations of South America. Peru is another Mexico, if not eveu more mixed and mongrelized than Mexico. What possible sympathy could the Indians and half-breeds of Peru have with the pure Bpaniards of that country, to give them any heart in a war of defense? What do they care who shall be their masters? While that war was going on. we here on the Pacific hud reason to fear a complication might arise in which we would be attacked by Chile, and we were sot free from uneasiness. We telegraphed East for more cannon for our fun*. But what good are cannon with no men behind t hem * * illy per r ent. of the able-bodied males 09 thi? coast of the age for bearing arms are :.'.:<. d Chi tese. I)o you imagine they would care very much whether the Chilean or the Ameri cans are masters of California, or would burn much gunpowder to prevent a change of rulers.' Is that a condition for a true Amerienn to bit proud of? Tlic growth anil development of the sham j sentimentality aliout the right of free emigra- I ti'in to this country baa always had Mammon as I Us chief underlying motive. The money-seek- I Ing sentimentalist has recognized the obv:ou« fact that the increase of population has in- ! creased the value of property, and made busiively, an j there he hus seen his profit. If it were onr-j demonstrated that the coming hither of any Dumber of the best jieople in tiio world— English, Irish, Scotch or German—reducpd the market value of property 10 per centum, or regularly made business hull, that very day the lu-t whisper about the inherent right and inalienable right of emigration, and aboat this country King the home of liberty and the refuge of the oppressed of all nations would be hushed forever, and in a week the country would be in arms to keep the intiuders out. M.famon, masquerading in the <ir-guisc of humanity, patriotism and national generosity. worked its way into our diplomatic service and lave us the Burlingiime treaty. We cliarse that Anson Burlingame deliberatelysold his country's birthright for Chinese money. Ami we state the facts. Uurlingarae was American Minister at I'ekin. While there he found o.t wliiit is well known to everybody familiar with China. Hint the Chinese have always been nngr. and dissatisfied with the concessions extorted from them by England, ami particularly by the opium traffic and the extra territorial rights, by which foreigners are exempt from the jurisdiction of the Chinese Cuurfa, and other concessions, all odious and : iping almost beyond endurance to the Chine.-". BuriiDg&me s*-y here a chance, by throwing of his American nationality and turning Chinaman, to make rome money, aud he teUed it. He convinced Tsung-11-Yamen that if they would make him Chinese Embassudor. with ii general roving commission, he could get the United States to back him up with moral, and, .. necessary, with physical force, and that thus hecoald frighten and bully (ireat Britain into surrendering thuse concessions so galling to Chiua. Be .-..t a coulrect to get rid of tne opium trntlic, and the extns territoria Ities, by ■ <!iplom tic negotiation with England. For this service be wns 10 have a large sum of money -report bars a hundred thonsand taels c«sh in hand Bfltd s lane auMitionul sum. contingent upon success. It is a shameful aud humiliating f^ct to confess thai the Minister of no other power ■■ntlie globe would have dared to east oil' his connection with his own country, and thus taken foreign service. Any European ) ower would have treated him a* a disgraced man for ■'■ ■■- It China would have cut off his bead. With a onmeioni suite of Obioew officials Mr. Burlingame started lor Europe in 1868, by the way of Washington. London, the real objective point of his uiplomatic expedition, was purposely and cuuninglv left till the Inn Be knew W.l enough that the Knglith foreujn office would detect the Yankee renegade under th" dfsgnise of the Chinese Mandarin and that he might have difficulty in getting in nt the front door, much less to be received a» representing china in any diplomatic capacity. He went to Washington, not became il was necessary to make a treaty with the United States, for .here was not the slightest necessity titlic- for ( hina or for us thut such a thing should be done. We were not forcing opium npon China. We had not extorted the extra territorial rights from her. We had never so m:n!i as pointed a gun at her. It was not necessary, so fur as immigration was concerned, for the law permitted them to come at will. Bnrlingame went to Washington to get recognition jinil prestige lor Kuropean uses. Be felt it would be a great card if he could -how in Europe that he hud been received as Chinese Bmbassodot by the Government of the United states. To have negotiated and signed a treaty with them, would Mew to Btake him solid every where. So lie set about that at once. lie betta'i, as might bo expeetcil lrom a man capable of inch a career, with a misstatement. He assured the state Department that he had been sent on a special mission connected with the opening up of China to railroad building, of which he liojud in time to give our people a monopoly. He knew oi to be the children of Mammon, and took advantage of his knowledge. Just who suggested those clauses of tiie Burliugame Treaty aliout the inherent right of emigration, we do not know, but considering the state of mind prevailiug aliout the Slate liepartment at that time it is probable it came from our side. But it did not miike any difference to Burlingame what the treaty contained so long as it did not disgrace him with Chirm. What be wanted was a treaty. So lie lobbied at Washington waiting to get the prestige of American recognition to take with him to England. At last he worked the instrument through. which goes into history with his name. Then he went awny to turope, but never got across the threshold of any court or foreign otlice to say good morning. For the pur|«.se of obtaining prestige, with which he'might work upon Great Britain in the interest of China ami earn his fee. Mr. liurliugame Induced his own country to yield up a sovereign attribute, never before surrendered by any free peop'e, a right Infinitely more valu- J able than all the opram privileges and extra tcrrit.irialities and trading concessions extorted from china bj English arms in a hundred years' war. Among them they bartered away, as" far as it can be bartered away, the right to determine | who shall come and who shall not come to this i new uud growing country of ours, live on its toil, enjoy its privileges, and miiiglu freely with its people. .ill that the early colonists had earned by their toil and snffiuing, all our revolutionary heroes bad purchased with their blooi, the land that has been wrested from savage nature anil Earage men. by the courage of oar 1 ace, was thrown open t > four hundred and fifty million Chinese to run over it. to take it. to ciijoy it, as irveiy as we, in order that Mr. Barlingame COO (1 earn ii hundred thousand taels in Chinese silver. lie iliil not even reserve the right for the cheated Americans, when squeezed out of their own country, to seek refuge in China, lor our residence there remain* strictly limited to Hnne liliceu or twenty seaports, mimed long before in older treaties, in the history ot the world n> . -mil (rand was ever perpetrated upon a free and sovereign people. For i'.W tiiis the only equivalent we are sup i !>om'<l to get hack ocean in the article eight in j the treaty. It prot W« •Ui substance that when- I ever China >liail build railroads the United State shiil! furnish the engineers and China ! will pay them tin ir salaries. Whether then engineers are to drive the locomotives or do the surveying does not stem abso- ! Intel} clear. But let ft bi> what it ruay, ( hiini has within the lad year deliberately violated anil brok- n this treaty by making a new one with France, in woleh it is agreed that not Americans, liiit Frenchmen, are to not only engineerthe railroads in china, but to construct I and i.;,erate them as well. That treaty, cheating us oat of the less of pottage we were to have for out birthright, ! was concluded In Peking some time in May, and ratified in Parta 00 the 3Bth o4 November 1 1886; and now all that is left to us under the I treaty is an unlimited and inexhaustible supply ! of coolies. i This is the true history and inwardness of the ! game treaty. It was conceived in fraud and chicane. It uas negotiated at a time when no treat; was wanted by either country, and not i tat the p. hi used In the treaty, it lays j that dov.ii to : c ■ public and natural law, which never was. and never in the nature of things can he such. it i> an International ii- patent on its one It never ooehl to bave been entered Into, it has u-ea deliberately and wlemnly abrogated in its spirit, if not in the letter, by the Chinese 111 giving away to the Flench the railroad privt V-.'s guaranteed in us. For these tea on it ought to be at>mgat< '1 aud got out of the way by our own Government. We do not believe 11 Is kept In farea by the wish of China, or that they would make uriy se- I rious objections to OUT bringing it to an end.

The Attempt ai wit on the port of the woold-be wit of Oakland fell Lllat upon the Convention. (.ir.'ve 1.. JobJMOa s:iid lie would introduce a resolution that would please everyI body, and that was to levy au assessment of il 50 a head upon the members of the Convention, to pay necessary expenses. This was all right for those who represented themselves, but the poor devils who were loaded down with thirty or forty j proxies each commenced a brisk kicking, I and for a few moments the air was blue | witti the oaths of the unterrilicd proxy- ! holders. Johnson had suddenly beared the ! market, and proxies, especially those of the POT federated labor leagues represented by : Hofmeister and Haskell. Action on the resolution was deferred, | and a motion adopted appointing a Committee on Finance to report in the evening I as to amount of bilis, and the assessment , pel member necessary to pay them. K. A. Davis introduced the following, I which was referred to the committee : RrSihed, That while we are unalterably op- ' posed to tbe I'urtlirr immigration of Chinese to thi* -lute, and are determined hihl pledged to i the use of all honorable ami lawful means to compel the departure from our commoui wi ultli of all Am now here, l>y supplanting I them with free labor, still we do declare that ■ the persons ami the property of the Chinese ; now here are entitled to the full protection of ' the law, and that we are opposed to any viu- | knee or unlawful intimidation or threats in , eunyiug out purposes above set forth. A number of other resolutions were inI troduced and referred. Adjourned to 7 i>. m. Hveuing Session. At t c evening session the Chair appointed n ;•. l'inuneeConmiitue the foilow-ing-natncil gentlemen : J. W. Elder. J. S. Ode, .1. J. Kvans, Wm. B.Saofley, H. MBernard. The oommitttt retired, and later I came in and reported that the expenses of j the Conveution would aggregate about j $300, which would necessitate an aasess- . tnenl of £1 -!"> pet delegate ami proxy. The i report of the committee was adopted as I read. There was an effort to relieve Messrs. i Haskeil and Hoffineyer of their ambanuß- ! ment, elaiuiint; that if they were obliged to ■ pay they would be bankrupt. This created I much discussion, many claiming that if j they refused to pay they should surrender j their credentials. Mrs. l.aura Deforce Gordon was introduced during the time the Convention was i watting on the Committee on Resolutions, I and addiebsed the Convention. She spoke I at length, reviewing the entire Chinese question. She thought the women of California should interest themselves in this question. We must insist, she said, that no more come here, and see that every Mongol is removed from our midst. She believed in a most thorough boycott of the i Chinese and all who empley them. They say we cannot get along without the Chinese—our food will go uncooked, our shirts unlaundricd, our fruit unpicked, our crops I ungarnered, our houses unkeut. Bless i your hearts, we had no Chinese in the days of our mothers, ami we raised more and larger families then than we do now. She devoted herself to the fruit-raisers, and said that all the Chinese engaged in the business during the prevailing low rates of fare could be replaced within three months. Her speech was received with immense applause and cheers. On motion ol'Mr. Reddy, the Convention tendered the lady a vote" of thanks. The vote was unanimous, and decided by a rising vote. While on their feet someone ! proposed three cheers, which was given j with a will, the galleries joining in the j hiizzah, and closing with an immense ! "tigah !" The taking up of the assessment occupied almost an hour. When it was concluded, Damiii of Alameda arose and stated that I he had been informed that the San Fran- | cisco delegation had refused to pay the ; assessments of the absentees. They had I used them the night before to elect thtir I Chairman. Their vote put Judge Freer in j the chair, and if the San Frascisco delegaI lion refused to pay their assessment then I he should ask that Judge Freer stei> down | and out, and give the chair to C. F. Mci Glashan, to whom he said it justly belonged The motion was seconded. >lr. McGlashan arose and said: "For God'l sake don't do that. Withdraw those words; withdraw that motion.'' l>atnm insisted amidst the shouts and j cheers of a few near him. Judge Freer made a personal explanation. He regretted that he should be the | cause of any man getting up at this time so ; near the close of the Convention asking him to relinquish his place to a gentleman whom he defeated for that position on yesterday. He had treated all with impartiality. Mr. McXilashan gained the floor amidst a a most exiling scene, and secured the recognition of the Chair and the attention of the Convention. With tears in his eyes he appealed to the better sense and judgment I of the Convention to frown down any and | all such motions as were introduced by the i delegate from Oakland. He paid a hieh 1 tribute to Judge Freer, and resented the proffered gratuitous insult. He Bored ! that the motion be laid upon the table, and i that the Convention express their appreci- | ation of, and confidence in, their able and 1 impartial President. The motion was carried by a rising vote, ! every gentleman in the room arising with ! the exception of Mr. Damm. When the noes were called for not an individual arose, and while hisses tilled the air and shouts of "shame' and "put him out, " Mr. I'ixley charged across the chamber, i and shaking his linger at the mover of the motion, asked him in stentorian tones why he did not vote, and sneeringly I challenged him to rise. Bconchin, the irrepressible Sergeant-at-Armscried, • Get up !" and half-a-dozen San i Joadtea immediately moved Seonehm's expulsion from the floor. This was I'ix-!•■>-and Grove L. Johnson's opportunity, | and they jumped into the breach arid ; championed Beoncbin'i cause. A rising ! vote was taken on the motion to expel the Strgeant-at-Arms, and lost by a close vote. THE RESOLUTIONS. After the Convention had subsided from what appeared at one time would culminate in an open rupture, the Chair called for a report from the Committee on Besolutions. Horace Davis. Chairman, made the report, and the Secretary, McGlashan, I read the following : Win r.F.As. The people of the State of California are. with an unanimity of sentiment uu paralleled in bistonr, opposed to the presence of Chinese in theirmidst, and are likewise opposed to the further immigration of that race into the 1 niteil Mates : aud, whereas, this opposition is not of sudden growth, bu is the result of more than thirty >r;j)s experience; and. whereas the history ot nil countries where the Chuic-i have been pirmitted to reside among other races, is a precise counterpart of our own ; and, whereas, the evils arising from the presence of the Chinese are : 1. Thtir coming is aa invasion, not an immigration. 2. TJiey have no families or homes amoiu: n^ 3. Their domestic relation* and mode of lift are such as forever preclude their assimilation with our people. 4. By education and customs they are antago--111*1;o to a republican form of government. 5. They maintain in ourmidst secret tribunals in defiance of our laws. 1.. The presence of so many adult males owing allegiance to a foreign Government is dangerOUS. b j 7. They deter laboring men from noafns to Califom.-a. 8. The contract sjsitiu by which they come to this country b virtually a system of peonage, hostile 10 American Institutions 9. Th.ir presence deters the growth of a reliable labor element among our l«v. > ami girl* 1". At or subsiding ou the lowest possible portiou ol their earnings they remit the residue amounting to many millions annually :o China while the substitution of American l'-.bor would retain this vast sum of money in our own country. For these and other reasons they are a constant and growing source of irritatiou'and danger to our Mate, and it is necessary that their immigration be immediately stopped, and every lawfiu measures tie adopted to remove those now among us. Therefore, be it Rtsylrfil, That we demand that the Government of the Inited States take immediate steps to prohibit absolutely this Chinese invasion. <-iT ' Tbat to encourage the early removal 01 the Chinese we accept the suggestion of the I oastitution of California, whicti says that no ( hmese shad ever be employed upon any public work of the Mate, except in punishment for crime. [ JScwtorf , That the interests of the people of

the State of California demand, in harmony with the organic law of the State, that the presence of Chinese should be discouraged in every particular, and that in every instance preference should be given to white labor; and we earnestly appeal to the people to do their utmost to supplant the Chinese with such labor We are not in favor of any unlawful methods' but so firmly are we impressed with the great importance of discouraging the employment of the Chinee, that we recommend that they be not patronized in any way, and we are in favor at the earliest moment of boycotting auy i>erson who employs Chinamen directly or indirectly or who purchase the products of Chinese labor The dale at which the boycott commences in different localities shall in all cases be left to the local leagues. Knotrel, -hat a permanent State organization be perfected by this State Convention, to be known as the Calilornla Anti-Chinese NouParttau Association. JtaMiMd, That an Executive Committee be selected by the Chairman of the Convention e:onsisting of three from San Francisco and one from each other county of the State who ~lii.ll be fully empowered to have control of the State work, fill vacancie-s in their own body call State Conventions at MsSB times and places a> they may deem proper, and devise ways and means for advancing the cause. Besotosd, That we recommend that a State' organizer be selected by the Convention, whose corniHMisation shall be fixed by the Executive Committee. Balked, That the State Executive Committee be requested to solicit subscriptions, in order that the work of excluding the Chinese may not be crippled from lack of funds, and we recommend that printed copies of all subscriptions received, and of all expenditures made by the committee, be sent to every newspaper iv the .State, with a request for publication. Kftvtvrd, Thin these resolutions be printed and that copies thereof be mailed to the President of the diked State's, the Justices of the Supreme Court of the United Mates, tothc members of the Cabinet, to the California delegates In Congress, to the members of the Senate and Home of Representatives from the other States Biid Territories, to the Governe>rsof the several States and Territories, and to each newspaper in California. General Biehvell moved that the resolutions be considcreel serrialini, and it was so ordered. The resolutions were unanimously concurreel in, until the one recornnienelingthe boycott was reached. Knowing that -uany would desire to spe'^k upon this ejuestion. the time of speeches m limited to five minute 3, but in some instances was increased to ten, and in some cases fifteen. The argument on the» part of those opposed to tin- boycott was that it was iilt'^il ati't un-American. The Chinese can only be driven out of the country by an Act of Congress. Mr. Sarnot advocated that the boycott would induce Congress to pve the Chinaman the ballot. The advocates of the boycott were loudly applauded throughout tlie-ir speeches the Convention plainly tbowing that a very large majority Wan in favor of the resolutions in their entirety. EJ^wheg were made against the boycott bytjenera] i;i,iwcll.Oiieo; Frank I'ixlcy, K.J. Ncvvlands, A. A. Sarircnt, M. 11. Heviit, rian Francisco. In I'avi,!- of it by Mr. Hunt of Oakland; H.

At 12:15 a. m. C K. McGlashan moved the previous question. This created great commotion. Many delegates sprang to their feetand yelled for recognition, but the Chair decided all debate outof order. Ibe motion was pat and declared carried !,■.• n viva voee vote, before Mr. Sargent uhm ':;.- crs could move for a rill of the roll. As soon as the vote was iinnoOßced tho Convention sprang tei ii • fi-ot, and will, hats swung aloft rent the ait with wild hozcahs. Three cheers wore l'm:i for "Old Boycott," " ('. F. M<(ilashan. ibe Hero of Trnckee," Judge L. D. Freer. Patrick Seddy and M. 11. Batee. Mr. Sargent appealed from the decision of the Chair as toon as the noise somewhat subsided.

The Chair held that the appeal came too late.

Mr. Sarj.f Nt announced that he would retire from the Convention. CJcncral Bid well declared the Convention a disgrace to civilization, the State and the nation, a:id a!se> withdrew.

At 12:45 a. M. the Convention adjourned to io a. m. to-day.

Not' » of the Convention. De'nnid Kearney, the man who coined the expression " the Chinese must go," is one of the busiest men on the floor of the Convention. He flits here and there, is seen in every little knot where the labor question is eliscusseel. Dennis has lost all his influence with the cohorts he once led, and is snubbed in every corner. He is openly accused of selling out the laboring man.

"Too much politics " is said to have been the reason why it toot a whole day to effect a temporary organization. Frank Pixley and Marcus D. Boruck are the two most disgusted individuals that have beeui in the Capital city for the past twenty years. George 15.

'' By the sods the State Bepubiicao Convention shall not be held in this city !" Do they speak l>y the card '.' The San Joaqnin county delegation became so thoroughly disgusted with the proe-eedings of the Convention on Wcdnes day that a majority of them took the afternoon train for their horne — " the city of windmills."

Charles Cornbenser, of Oakland ; Noble Fisher, of Sacramento, and the gentlemen from San Francisco who attempted to vote thirty-three votes for organised labor, occupy much of the valuable time of the Convention by unnecessary chinniiin.

Carl Browne, tho handsome artisl &f the people's illustrated Open Letter, is bosy on the iloorof the 1 Convention taking sketches. This is a rare oportunity for Carl, and be b doing it up Browne. A me'tnber on the floor of the Convention said the reason of the delay in tlic organisation w;is entirely owing to the bet thai Pixley favored itl He coppered MoGiashan and sccaretl the election of Freer. The following was sent up to tho Secretary's desk, but was by that dignitary very properly consigned to the waste basket": "Notice— Any gentleman having lost the handle of his "hand-organ, can get a new and polished one on application to the Secretary of the San Jose Branch of the Convention. He has a large assortment of cranks in perfect working order." When Pixley arose to address the Con- j vention yesterday, he was hissed from all portions of the house. After order was seCOred ho had s respee'tfnl bearing, and his sound speech at its close was 1-,,-udly applauded.
