Why. sir. let us examine their own proposition. i.e.. "we will lose our coemerce." Well. what have we to lose? Why. the commerce is and always has boon in their favor. They will deal with every nation just as it will be to their advantage. without regard to the number of their people that may emigrate to this country. How many Chinese emigrate to England or to other countries of Europe? Not any. These are all countries that are very good to emigrate from. but none emigrate to them. Although England has treated her worse than any other nation. and by a trost unholy and unjust war has forced her to partake of her deadly poison. yet this great Celestial Empire licks the hand that smioto her. and gives the bulk of her commerce to her greatest persecutor. Gentlemen need not fear that such a nation will withhold its commerce merely because we place wholesome restrictious on their lintigTation.
