I regard as dilatory a motion made for no purpose except for the purposes of hindrance or delay. I dm not filibustering. I have stated expressly that the request which I at first appealed to the Senator from Massachusetts to concede. and which I afterwaras presented in the shape of a motion. which I will now make. to postpone to a day named. was not made for the purpose of delay. but was made for the purpose of securing time for an intelligent appreciation of the merits of this measure. which intelligent appreciation can only be had in the shape of information which comeo from the source recognized by Congress as the proper onethe report of the CommissionerGeneral of Immigration to the Secretary of the Treasury.
