This is demanded alike by natural justice and international good faith. While admitting this. I wish to say that the universal opinion of those States. recorded as it has been frequently as opposed to a further increase of Chinese immigration. should in my opinion be respectfully heeded and should carry great weight in this discussion. Itwill not do for us to stigmatize the action and opinions of nearly all the citizens of three States of this Union as the artful schemes of demagogues. Those States have been built up by the labors and intelligence of the best people of our older Commonwealths by men of iutellect. virtue. patriotism. and courage. who have carried our institutions and our flag to that farthest shore and added an increased luster to the American name.
