That comes very near. Mr. President. the repeal of this treaty which gives assent to the right of the Emperor of all the Russins to prevent by law the emigration of his subjects. It clearly establishes a position on the part of the United States wholly inconsistent with the treaty in that respect. With this radical change in position. sir. the representatives of the United States in its foreign policy began upon a process which I think has rarely been equaled in the records of any nationa process most creditable to the good sense and wisdom of the American people and of their representatives. and which. by steady. temperate. and judicious representation and appeal to friendship. to reason. to justice. to the desire for goodfellowship and friendly relations. has. step by step. brought nearly all the governments of the civilized nations of the earth to leave the old position and to stand by the side of the United States in the new.
