Bit I suppose there must be a political Botany Bay somewhere. where the political nondescripts. the halt and the blind. and those who fall outside of the breastworks can find positions at the expense of the Government.Mr. President. I started a moment ago. when I was cut off. to speak of some defects in this bill. in my view. and I will now briefly state them. One of the defects of this bill is that it opens every port in those islands to unrestricted immigration. You do not carry.the exclusion act over those islands. and the Hottentot can within a few months become domiciled in the Sandwich Islands. and within a short time thereafter can become a citizen of the United States.
