Are we to judge those who come to ns by a moral standard? Ifso. whereand by what standard shall we draw ime tine ? Shall our oflicersstand on the docks as thLeforeiga ships land and ask each emigrant his religion ? Will he ask him if he belongs to a church. amd. if so. which one ? And if not. will he join one? No. the question of nlorality cannot be a test. Throw our ehirches open to them as freely as our shores and give them an opportunity to be Christianized. We have just put the seal of legislative condenitation upon one of the pernicious pruictices of the Mormon Church. but have wve legislated against Mormon immigration ? No such legislation has been suggested. and yet more Mormons than Chiuese come to our country every year. We hear nothing said about shutting the gates td these subtle enemies of our country. whose false religion is a stench upon uswe hear nothing said against the people of ainy other laud under the sun.
