The Memphis Aptn! of Tuesday week, speaking of the Chinese-labor meeting that was held the next day in that city, aaid : "We Invo seen a letter from one of the wealthiest and most successful citizens of Snn Francisco, dated the 18th instant, on the subject of Chinese labor for our cot ton Bold. The writer is a man who has CmuV, m'(EwQrt i ng, obedient and frugal people. I hey never get drunk. 1 hey readily adapt themselves to the manners and wants of Americans, nnd are aa use ful in domestic service as in the more la bortous occur arinns of ttif ircto. t ne inp- ply is inexhaustible." On tlie subject of I tie best and most practicable mode of gelling them here, lie says : "Their servi ce can be obtained only through their own contractors their principal men. A spe cial proposition made to one of these men will be satisfactorily answcied." The Rieliuiond Whig says : " The Memphis movers in the Cliineac enterprise seem to have gone to work in earnest. They have opened negotiations uritb the ( hinese contractors, and oartic- .,. lhmMkia imnorternt Sa.. Fran- ' . ' J " ' 1 ' " - Cisco, who, it is said, lias ly ins own in dividual agency brought nearly a hun rred thousand of his country men across the Pacific. He is to meet tlie members of tin- con vent ion at Memphis on the 13lh instant, when aud whereall the conditions between the contracting parties, the rates of transportations, tlie wages mid subsis tence, tho tenure of service, the guarantees tor tlie fulfillment of obligations, &c., will bo definitely settled. Then the momen tous experiment of supplanting one race ! by the substitution of another will begin. What is to be the end of the great cuter- prise, is hid in the inscrutable mind. As an aid to reflection on the subject we sub join a brief article from the New York Star: . We-have-bcen rery greatly Interested in a discussion in the California papers about the Chinese, and can readily ap preciate the gravity of the danger which threatens not only the extreme West, but onr whole country, from the incursion of these unwashed, plodding, conscienceless, patient, brutish workers. They will cheap en labor and lower the lone of morals, drive white workers to rmneugompetitiott, and flit oar streets with blaaoned vice, un- less some steps are taken which shall defi. nitely stop the immigration. In the com pactness and unity of trade unions alone ean we sec any sensible solution nf tbe problem. The danger is not distant, it is imminent, tor according to Mr. McDonald Nesbitt, who has thoroughly posted himclf iu this matter, already a hundred thous and of these Chinese have arrived, and their patient labor is manifesting itself in the cheap production of textile fabrics, mechanical nuproyeiuents, nnd tins neces saries of life. - Living on a handful of rice atlny, dad in cotton-garments, they make themselves, at a cost nf aollar or two; doxens living in a single Woeinent, aud thus practicing a system oK economy which reduces their Ijving to six or eight cents a day, they will work for fifteen cents a day and make money, They know nothing of luxury or tho comforts or in conveniences of life ; they have but one object, and that I to. wake money, la Vain did the mechanics and laborers of San Francisco try by cruel treatment to bauish them ; in vain jrew trades' union formed to prevent their obtaining employ ment ; it was found impossible to starve oat a people who could adapt lliemselves to the employments of women, live on their wages, and when employment failed, live on animata and offal which are aa abomination to Caucasians 1 Though not possessed of the physical vlgorof the Can casian, their patience, perseverence and untiring application compensate largely foi this. Beared under despotism, where oppression is tin rule and brutish stupidi ty general, they hare no ideas of freedom ; they are aa obedient as slaves, and they enly need a dn. cling mind to plan, to measure, to lay off the work, when, with in.- uncomplaining submission of a ma chine, they delve in the rooks, hew in the forests or labor in the fields. As you walk Ul) the streets of San Franeism nn will see them squatted in the alleys or corners, J! 1 inclining snoes, queensware, tin ware, ma king garments for the Jews, toys, balls, hoops, states, pencils, satchels for the boys. They wii! solo i o ir shoes for five Cent above the COSt of the leather, and do it in a workmanlike manner. Give them the tobacco and they will make yon a hundred cigars for ten cent. Tin and copper ware they will make tor you ae eoraing to directions at a few cents above tbe cost of the material : and if you want a man killed thev will do that at cost of a few dollars ! Conscience thev have none; morals they know not ; future life beyond tbe grave they disbelieve, ana death has no terrors for them. Perjcry is very common, as they cannot, or will not, appreciate the sanctity of an oath ; hence they are frequently hired aa wit nesses. In no ordinary wav ean honest. mnutA. bin workmen meet and master these peo ple. Thev are unscrupulous to tho last degree, submitting to the indignities that would make the blood of an American or an Irishman boil, for the merest mttanee at which an Eastern laborer would turn up bis nose. They w ill be met and en couraged by the capitalists, and unless they are bluffed, stopped before they se cure a loot bold, trouble and discord, con fusion mid disaster will surely result from their coming. It behoove the workingmen of our day to think of this matter note i it ia at thnns- and times more important than the negro question or the woman question. They are minor matters which ean be settled easily when nothing else is urgenat ; this needs a tie nt ion now. wonderful effect of eloquence in Lecisla- tive halls and popular assemblies. Meu under the inspiration of some grand and ennobling idea have poured forth bursts of impassioned eloqucnen that have im- wt .-loll ou iicli they spoke ever memorable iu tho annals of human history Another of these instances is now to be added II occurred recently during tho discussion on the new constitution in the Spanish Cortes Father Manterola, one of the most learned andeloqneut members of the Spanish priesthood, opposed the .'.institu tion in a speech of great ability and pow er. He considered .Spain to be on the brink of chaos, nnd the project of the con stitution was the brink of "the abyss. He particularly opposed tho article authoriz ing liberty of worship, aud declared that if Spain cast herself into the arms of "free worship," abandoned of God she would utterly perish, and her name would disap pear from the list of civilized nations. - He was replied to by a young deputy, Seuor Castclar, iu an impromptu speech of remarkable eloquence, which has been pronounced one ot I he greatest orations of modern times. Heplying to the denial of the priest, that tlie church oi Home had been a persecuting church,, he said : "Seuor Manterola said he conderaed all religious persecutions. Then his rever ence ought to condemn lively and ener getically many pages in the history of the church. "We did not kill the persecuted oues," said Senor Manterola, ''the civil power killed them!" Mirthful defence I As if the assassin should Bay it was not he who killed his victim, it was his dag ger ! The inquisition, gentlemen, the in quisition waa the dagger of tho church ! The truth of the persecutions may be known by opening any page of ecclesias tical history !, Senor Manterola says I have never been in Itomc. Yes I have. I have visited its ruins ; I have contemplated its three ISndlrtsdTOe at the ceremonies of the Holy week ; I have admired the gigantic Sibyls of Michael Angelo which seem to launch eternal mal edictions. I have seen the snn penetrate into the basilica of St. Peter's. I have sought in those ashes an atom of religious faith I have only encopntered deceit and doubt. Yes, I have been in Rome, and 1 have seen in the "Sela Regia,' painted by Bassari, a fresco of the emissaries of the -1US 1 1 I.MI, , W ll.f o, ill. n ,,i- V I ,,C I,...., n. mIia aAnfr tka M ope the the head of Colignv. I have seen apotheosis the great ecclesiastical glories oi tlte executioners - the assassins of the night of St. Martholomey . Great is God in Sinai ; the thundor pre cedes him, the lightning accompanies bin f the light envelopes him tbe earth trem bles ; the mountains fall in pieces Hut there is a God greater and grander than that. Not the majestic God o( Sinai, but the humble God of Calvary, nailed to a sross, wounded, thirsty, crowned with thorns, gall on his Hps, and yet saying "father, forgive them, forgive my execu tioners, forgive my persecutors j pardon them, for they know not what they do 1" Great is tlie religion of power, but greater is the religion of love. Great is the reli gion of implacable justice, but greater it tbe religion of pardoning mere. And t, , iu the name of that religion I, in tbe , name of the gospel, some here to ask you i to write In the front of your fundamental code Liberty. Emutlitv ! i. among all mankind." The elect of this speech is said to have been electrical aud overwhelming. Mem hers crowded around the gifted young orator, and with truo Spanish impulsive ness, embraced and kissed hjm. The pres ident declared the session dosed, descend ed from his seat, and e nth raced Castelar with the warmest demonstrations of feel ing. The speech was everywhere tbe top ie of conversation and pronounced the death-blow to religious intolerance and the power or tne clergy in Bpain. may it prove to be such, and that down-trodden and priest-ridden country be forever re lieved from its chains of servitude to Ro manism. The speU seems to bare been broken at last The Cortes, after a full diseussion of tbe new Constitution, in sup port of which this remarkable speech waa delivered by Castelar, adopted it by a largo majority. It provides for liberty of the press, freedom of religious worship, and the right of petition, though these es sentials of a free people were bitterly op posed by the clerical members and their fanatical part is n-, who would perpetuate the intolerant lesrislation of the last three hundred years. The world is certainly auvaiuing, "SOUTHERN HISTORICAL SOCIE TY" TO PRESERVE THE AR CHIVES OF THE WAR.
