The gentleman misapprehends my solicitude for this great Republic. I do not believe the salvation of this Republic depends upon the development of all our resources in the next five years. or the next one hundred years. I look upon the Republic as a lasting boon. and I look forward to leaving it as a heritage to my children and to my childrens children as well. If railroads can not get cheap labor right away to develop the resources of the country without importing millions of illiterate immigrants. then we had better wait for our natural Increase to develop our resources.
