They are good citizens. thoroughly patriotic. and reliable in peace and war. I have no sympathy with the disposition that would forbid the oppressed from anywhere an asylum and refuge under the tree of liberty. The same statement may be made on the part of our Italian Immigrants. The flourishing Italian settlements scattered over the United States bear witness to the truth that for a large part they come to make homes. renouncing their allegiance to all foreign princes. potentates. and powers. The time is not very remote when we were all foreigners and when this broad heritage of freedom was possessed. if not owned. by the Indian. whose appropriation bill is now on its passage today.
