Some of us were born and raised in the slave States. We had received as an inheritanca from our ancestors that crime. as it has been called a crime. which was perpetrated by the people of the North upon this country. and by whomitwasinflicted upon thepeople of the South. It was something that we were born to as an inheritance. we had no agency at all in starting it up. and having seen the difficulties that it produced in the land. having seen thebloodshed that it led to through the strife between sections aswell as between races. wethought that it was a proper thing to do to exclude the coming in of any more of the inferior Asiatic or African races into this land. So we voted for the laws prohibiting the Chinese from coming here. That cooly system has been two or three times alluded to today by the Senator from New Hampshire as a justification of this line of enactment that we are now proceeding with. That includes necessarily the proposition that the men whom we are excluding bythis law from migrating mustbe puton the same basisas the coolies. I objecttothat. I ojeet to it in the name of those men who assifted us in winning our independence.
