Sam, the young Chinese laun- dryman who wishes to marry an up tpwn girl, who is in her seventeenth year, called at the Whig office, on Wednesday morning; to say that both | parents of the girl are. willing that 'the wedding should take place, and | are trying to have it performed. He says he-cannol understand why a win ister should refuse to recognize the marriage license when both parents are favorable, even if the girl is un- der cfebioen. "What is the use of a marriage license ?"' the celestial asked a Whig man, "I got if honestly, the girl's father coming with me. I wish to deny the statement made by a clergy- man, that the girl's mother objected to our marriage. She did not object, but is in favor of it." Mr. Sam says he was surprised that the wife of a Kingston clergymen should advise the parents of the girl not to allow their daughter to wed a Chinaman. He wishes to say that he is a British subject asd has been in Canada eleven years. The opposition of the clergymen to his marriage with a white girl does not appeal to him as very Christianlike. The son of China blames the article in the Whig of Inst week for making his intended marriage so prominent that the cler- gvmen of the city seem afraid to per form the ceremony.
