Let us suppose. Mr. President. that by some stupendous political revolution. as sudden as hitherto unknown in the history of the world. some State in the North. the great and proud Commonwealth of Massachusetts. for instance. should be put under the absolute control of Chinese immigrants. Imagine them dwelling there in larger numbers than the white citizens of the State. armed with the ballot and clothed with all the rights of citizenship. Follow them as they seize hold of every department of the Government. installing themselves or the mercenary renegades of our own race who had enlisted in their ranks in every office. see the Legislature. composed almost entirely of these adventurers. without owning one dollars worth of property in the State. plundering its treasury. swelling by millions its debts. practically confiscating by unlawful taxation the property of the rightful representatives and owners of the State. and inaugurating a carnival of corruption. of vice. and of crime. at which the world would stand aghast.
