He ought to know something about the benefits conferred. and I am unwilling to treat the subject in this way. to treat it. in fact. with levity and make a farce of it. to make these requirements. and then when men contemptuously refuse to obey them to come in with this piece of blanket legislation that the gentleman himself can not tell within thousands of cases. perhaps. how far reaching it is to be. The gentleman knows nothing with regard to the property rights interested. except in the most vague manner. yet he comes to us with this piece of legislation to cover all of the cases and attempts to pass it with twenty minutes of argument under a suspension of the rules. I think that is going a long way toward treating the subject of naturalization with contempt.
