I had no conception originally of the power of the Chinese race to overrun and destroy. which is now demonstrated on the Pacific coast See the towns they occupy. see the plague spots where they are. and behold civilization absolutely blotted out. Would you subject any portion of this country to such degradation? Would you thus give it up? I say it is the duty of Congress to pass at an early day an absolute exclusion act. I shall vote for the bill of the Senator from Oregon. WNATe have tried various means and find that nothing elselwill do. and in an emergency like this where there is so much at stake it will not do to parley with the question.
