Grant) expressed in words almost identical with yours in your editorial were brought out in this way : I asked him if lie did not believe some plan should be devised to direct a portion of the large immigration to the Southern States. le said that immigration was not an unmixed blessing to our country and he was well pleased to see at least one section remain wholly American. and then came the remarks conveying the thoughts you so well expressed. However. I can conceive of no objection which any genuine American could have to the provisions of this bill.
