That is the new propagandism you have been engaged in for the last twenty years of the doctrine of "universal fatherhood of God and the universal brotherhood of man." In espousing that doctrine you have attempted to subvert the laws of God. and you have failed and will continue to fail. That would lead you to enfranchise the Chinaman. It would lead you to throw open your ports and allow the Asiatic hordes to overrun this country and to be clothed with the ballot and overwhelm our very civilization with barbarism. I have made these few remarks more in the spirit of a philosopher. or rather as a legislator trying to make a practical application of the present case to future legislation than from any feeling of angeron my part. knowing that you are going to expel me from among you. The sorrow that I feel is much less for the loss of my seat than for the violation of the Constitution by seating a man who was. never elected by the people.
