Therefore there are substantial commercial reasons why we should deal justly and fairly and kindly and honestly by them. These reasons may not be sufficient to justify us of the South in encouraging the unlimited importation of Chinamien to the detriment of other sections of the Union who protest against it. The people of the United States. having become dissatisfied with the unbounded liberty of immigration into this country.that was given by the Burlinganme treaty. sought to get rid of it. We sent our plenipotentiaries to hina to negotiate fora modification of the treaty. And he who reads the discussions between our plenipotentiaries and the Chinese Govermoent will find that we were not more than a match for them in diplomacy.
