Shall we jeopardize the freedom. happiness. and prosperity of our country. out of false respect for a sentiment which is itself destroyed in the experiment There is no liberty. there is no republicanism in Such a course. Our institutions are in danger. There is but one remedy that I can perceive. and that is to arrest this immigration by treaty. If we cannot do it altogether. let us at least restrict it. and contine it to a lillrent class. There is no reciprocity in it. Our people do not wish to emigrate to China. The immigration of Chinese here is not necessary to our commercial relations. They are entirely indopeudent of them. They come here front no desire to escape the oppression of their own country.
