There are fifty millions of us in this land and about a hundred thousand of them. The excess of immigration over emigration is l.000perweek. Shall we strike our flag to this pusillanimous army I Cannot we treat with the enemy in some other way. if we are obliged to make terms ? The day that this nation raises up a wall against laborers.
