I still feel that I can say. with all the emphasis of which I am cpaile. titat the effect desired to be obtainled here is to close the door in the South and prevent the influx there of white ilnltigration. As to whether the conditions of the contract under which these six hundred and odd intigrants have come to our State were such as to make it undesirable that they should have been adliitted ori not. is not for me to say. I have already expressed my belief aind feeling that contract labor. in the common acceptation of the termnthat is. lhbor brought over from Europe to work in factoriesis undesirable and ought to be excluded. I plant myself on that doctrine and shall not budge from it. but when we are so earnestly desiring here that we breik up. oe of our rules and turn our backs on our precedents in the Semate to help the Pacific coast exclude Mongolians for the purpose of protecting the civilizationl of the white race on that coast. I can not see. for the life of me. wliy there should iot be sonie concern and interest in enabling the white race of the South to get more white people to help protect our civiliziatfon aniitd fill nil our waste places.
