Every analogy of private life would go to show that these matters should not be arbitrated. No court would entertain the question as to whom we should seat at oar tables. whom we should adopt into our families. or to whom we should sell the lot adjoining our own. And yet it is safe to predict that questions of Inmigration. naturalization. and the tenure of land by those who can not and should not become citizens will be among the first taken up for consideration unless they are specifically declared to be our sole and peculiar business. What is the use of considering the arbitration of matters of such a nature that respecting them we would not and could not abide by an adverse decree. Word has gone out to the country that the Senate of the United States. jealous of Its prerogatives and actuated solely by that considcration. is opposing the treaties.
