If we have the right to do it without giving cause of war they have a right to do it without giving cause of war. But while this mode of accomplishing the object is very different from any I should have selected. I regard this Ohinese immigration as so fearful an evil in this country. present andprospective. that. if it cannot be done in a way I should like it to be done. I will take * the nearest and best way to that which I believe to be right. and if no better way is opened I will vote for the bill. and onlybecause I believe there is a paramount necessity to the wellbeing of our own -country to remove the evil. The amendment is practically a measure .of comity. that is all. aiming to accomplish precisely the same end. but by the accustomed method.
