Pauls Methodist Episcopal Church. of Manchester. N. H.. from which I desire to read a paragraph: As pastor of the largest Methodist Church In the State I am writing to beg ou. not only as an Individual. but as representing practically a united body of citizens who are members of this church and parish. to support the immigration bill which will soon come before your body. introduced into the House by Mr. BURNETT and known as House [)III 6060. Probably a separate blil will be introduced into the Senate. if it has not already been introduced. under a different name. but containing the same provisions. particularly the educational restriction. After much study and observation and experience I am convinced that we face no other peril greater. if as great. than the tremendous influx of foreign peoples who are totally illiterate. My correspondent goes on to discuss the matter somewhat further in detail. which I will not read. I move that the letter be referred to the Committee on Immigration.
