I fear. willcross the Rocky Mountains and settle down all over this country. for already the law of migration from east to west. in force since man began to multiply. appears reversed. and a constantly increasing stream is pouriog in on our Pacific slope and spreading east. and. I fear. is destined to cross the mountains and settle down upon the older States. The supply is illimitable. and I do believe that there is no portion of this Union where Chinese immigration would be so fatal to human progress and to human civilization as in the country where I live. We there have the AngloSaxon race and Ethiopian living side by side. speaking the same language. and accustomed to each other. The negro race has been elevated by contactassociation with the .outhern white manfrom a condition of savagery. in which they were when they were brought to this country. into a condition of comparative civilization and enlightenment.
