Now the gentleman from New York says that in the Fortythird Congress. when I happened to be a member of the Committee on Foreign Affairs. no legislation was had with regard to the protection of our naturalized citizens. I do not conceive any other answer to be necessary to such a statement than this: the gentleman from New York himself. if I recollect aright. was a member of that committee in the next Congress. Does the gentleman from New York now claim. or is he able to point his finger to a single instance where that committee took any steps while he was a member thereof to protect the Irish. or German. or any naturalized citizens? I pause for a reply.
