We and they might exclaim. when looking at our institutions and our flag. almost in the words the Laureate used when he welcomed to Old England the affianced bride of her eldest prince: Saxons and N rmans and Danes are we. But all of us Danes in our love for thee. Supposing that these Chinese immigrants. instead of being segregated. as they noW are. were to come into the State of Ohio. or into the State of Massachusetts. or into any one of the Northern. Southern. or Eastern States. and begin to crowd upon the labor of their comnmunities. do you not suppose that it would make a difference in the way the question is looked upon by statesmen here. or by the people of those States? If yo transport. into a manufacturing town in Massachusetts some four or five hundred of these laborers. where and upon what pinnacle will your four or five hundred displaced laborers find a restingplace ?
