This is quite contrary to the interests and. I believe. to the wishes of the people of California. I was surprised that the gentleman from Louisiana day before yesterday. and the gentleman from Michigan yesterday. gloried on the floor of this House over their votes on the Chinese bill. which they were pleased to call votes against the importation of coolies into this country. I would be very glad myself. upon opportunity. to vote against the importation of coolies or slaves from any country. I have had no such opportunity. My friend from Michigan and my friend from Louisiana have had no such opportunity.
