They, however, fail to understand that it is in consequence of the gross misgovern- ment of China, which brings the darkest miseries upon her sone, that some of them have recourse to immigration to British. Colonies in order to improve their state of life. As soon as they land in these Colonica they find everything favourable to their progress, such as they could not dream of in their native land; and it stands to reason that they stick to their new domiciles. In time, by reason of the good law of the British Government, they but principally their descendants-are recognized as the subjects of that Govern- ment. Are they to blame for this, or is the Chinese Government accountable for it?
