Mr. President. in dealing with several States one State may be fit and another State may not be fit. one State may have every u alification to come into the Union and another may have none. ou yoke them together in this way and try to float through the weak case on the back of the strong one. It is exactly as if in naturalizing aliens we should ordain that if they brought up a batch of five men. and maae a good case for one. we would then admit all five. merely because that one man was fit for naturalization. Suppose we were asked to naturalize men in groups. Everybody would regard it as preposterous. We naturalize only one man at a time. We admit men to citizenship singly. but when it comes to admitting a community to citizenship. to admitting a new State. on this floor they are not to be judged singly. but we must run through three of them at once. Now.
