But. whether that be the law or not. I ask the Senate now to turn to this other chapter for a moment and then I shall have finished. I turn now away from the chapter on naturalization which was amended. reference being made to the section itself. to the chapter on Territories. relating to an entirely different subject. and I ask the attention of the Senate to a constitutional enactment by Congress made many years ago and in force today. and in my opinion of great value. not relating at all to the manner in which a man shall become a citizen of the United States (not in any wise amended by the legislation relating to naturalization). but prescribing qualifications of voters in the Territories. What is it? It is a special chapter relating to a special subject and to this subject which we now have in hand: SEC. 1859.
