And yet. upon a m1ere1 notion of humanitarianism. you throw open the doors because you say the sentiment of the people of this great Republic is to invite the people of other nations to these shores. By so doing you plant a cancer in your own country that will eat out its life and destroy it from among the nations of the earth. On the subject of the cooly trade and what are coolies. I call attention to the testimony here given. Also to the question of slavery which is made manifest in our own midst without power in our courts to interfere.
