Chinese Immigration to Camfobnia.?The
San Francisco papers speak ot the immense
Chinese immigration to that port as onp.nfjthe
greatest;evils to the Slate. The immigration
is in fact nothing hut the carryin'g oul of 'tlie
Coolie system. Wealthy companies in China
are concerned in shipping their po^r countrymen
as a speculation. ". They are furnished
with all they require- to. <go into- the mining
business, and in re turn-: they give theiremploycrs
a certain quota of their/gains, which is
paid to their agent iii San Francisco. The
worst feature of the system is that the Chinese
never remainHn the country or become assimilated
to its population. They come over in
hordes, gather what is a competence, in their
country, and then return , to China (to he replaced
by fresh arrivals who will pursue ihe
same process. Of course, this immigration is
the reverse of beneficial to the State,, as it ddes"
not permanently increasents-resources, \vea|th
or industry^ but, on the contrary, constantly'
tends to impoverish it.?Baltimore American.;

^Southern Sentiment.?It does seem to ps
that those leading public journals,^political andh
otherwise, which have at. heart the -good-<bf::
this country, ought not to withheld".from ther
readers, or endeavor to gloss^oyery.the rehlj
sentirfrent of the Southern people in regard josuch
aggressive movements against the Sooih';
as that of the New York Syracuse Convention.'
There is but one feeling in the South on tie
subject, among Whigs and Democrats, aid
that is a feeling that the rights of the Soulh
and the Union of the Stales are in danger fro in
the Syracuse movement, and that, if-successful,
it will lead to the formation, of a Northern
sectional party and the dissolution of the Union.
What is to be effected by a suppression of this
fact? Nothing but nn increase of the dang^f,
by emboldening the aggressors to push for

led to believe can be accomplished with impunity,
and by quieting the apprehensions of
the conservative portion of the community in
the Northern States, who, if they could knovi
the actual state of Southern sentiment, and the
real perils, which tit this moment menace the
integrity of the government would rise as one
man, and crush forever the Syracuse conspiracy
ngdiust the peace and Union of the States
Virginia Whig Sbntimknt.?The opinions
of Ihe Virginia Whig press upon the ami slavery
resolutions ot the Whigs of New York,
so far as an expression of them has been made,
are entirely and perfectly accordant with those
announced by this Journal. We are gratified
to observe with what unanimity, determination
and enthusiasm the noble and generous hearted
Whigs in. Virginia, and the South, mean to repel
the insolent assaults upon our right3 by
Northern traitors and fanatics. Let us disown,,
disavow and repudiate them. Parly ties, we
know are strong, but the love of home and
country, in all honest bosoms, is stronger still.
We indeed love and reverence this blessed
Union?hut the South, the mal-treated, the reviled,
the persecuted South, the land of our
birth, our affections, our hopes?can we love
anything before that? Traitors and dishonored
would we he could we prefer anything to
that. But rather,.with stout and loyal hearts,
will we stand by and defend it to the last.?
Such is the sentiment, such is the'solemn de
termination and purposes of the Whigs of the
oouin; unci sue:), we oeueve is tnc sentiment
and purpose cf men of all parties, creeds, and
professions amongst us .?Richmond Whig.
Michigan?The democracy of the 26ihsen
atorial district in Michigan, at a convention
at Willianiston on the 26th tilt., alter unanimously
nominating Hon. Chas. p. Bush for
the State senate, adopted, also with unanimous
vice, a set of resolutions, from which we
extract the following:
' Resolved, That we cordially endorse the
declaration of principles made by the late
democratic State convention, and hojd that the
doctrine of congressional 11011 intervention with
the subject of slavery in the Territories afc||
the United States is the legitimatejuidUtiglca) I
deduction from the cmyJbflftoraltiiJ theory of

nntfTtT^^iiNnferferenee by Congress with the
HSm08tic affairs of the people of the Territories
.further than is absolutely required by their
peculiar relations to the Union, is in violation
alike of popular rights and of the fundamental
principles of the democratic party."
A Habd ITit.?The Cincinnati Gazette, re
ferring to the fact that several paupers from Europe
had been shipped back by the authorities
of Boston, says:
" Wc may not object to having paupers sent
back to the place from whence they came, only
it strikes us that a city which permits a po
lice court to send hn^jt white men and women
three thousand miles across the ocean, because
they are poor, ought not to make so much fusr
about a commissioner sending a negro back to
Virginia because he is a slave. That's all."
The steamer Princess, belonging to Ne.w Orleans,
frits destroyed by fire on the.iBth insCatit,
and several persona perished in the llame*, ineluding
two ladici. No names have yet been
ascertained. The cargo consisted of 3300
balijspf cotton, which, with the vessel, it is
supposed will prove a total low.
