As to other people who come into this country. and who make good citizens. I for one see no objection to them if they choose to work cheaper than somebody else who is here. In a letter to a citizen of South Carolina as to the introduction of immigrants into my own state. and which was published in the leading paper of the State early in March of this year. I stated that I thought we should welcome all industrious and intelligent citizens of our sister States or other countries. but that I was not inavor of bringing in any of thatclass who. withouteducation or character. failed or refused to affiliate with our people. and seemed to have no appreciation of American institutions.
