Mr. Burlingame being on a sort ofjunketiug tour with the Chinese showing them around. when Mr. Hight was renominated in 1872 he was defeated by thousands of votes by one who was opposed to Chinese immigration. The California people have never ceased their opposition to Chinese immigration from the earliest times until now. And yet we hear here. sir. that it is an overmastering passion just engendered today I It is their calm judgment that it is against the interest of the people of the United States. and more especially against the interest of the people of that coast. that Chinese should come here. and there is no passion about it. It is a feeling that pervades all sections of the community and all classes of the community. the church member. the foreigner. the native. and all alike.
