It is time to stop it. in my judgment. and ought to be stopped here and now. In this connection I would simply allude to the fact. for I do not design speaking at leugthI only call the attention of the Senate to itthat there is no exception in respect to the Chinese. A friend sifting on this side of the Chamber has been for the last two weeks complaining about your Revised Statutes in omitting the word "white" in the naturalization laws. because he desired that that should remain in the statute in exclusion of the Chinese. so that they should be prevented from enjoying the privileges and immunities of other people in this country by reason of their being citizens of the United States. This provision makes no exclusion of them. and this Territory. or this State as it is to be. is close upon the confines of that civilization. There is no exclusion save "Indians not taxed." My friend from California asks me to move an exclusion.
