That is the process through which our country is being settled. This bill will baa great obstruction to the settlement and improvement of the country in that way. Gentlemen who desire to put a stop to contraet immigration of mining and manufacturing people can do that in the bill without interfering with the class of agricultural immigration which -we desire to see fostered and encouraged by- the adoption of this amendment.. The Southern and Western country under this amendmaent will be left free as it is now to acquire the population we desire. which our rich lands invite---lands which if cultivated by an intelligent population will add vastly to the general wealth. If my amendment is adoptedwe will be left free. the Southwest and the Northwest will be left free to acquire population as we do now. while the evils which Senators from the East and North complain of will be remedied.
