I have selected England. because I believe England holds her people with a tighter grip of affection. than .any other country does except our own. The Senator states that .the character of population coming over here in changing. I have sought to demonstrate in other addresses. and I merely refer to it now. that the. same claim that is being made now has been made ever since the first immigrant set foot in this country. It -.-.as charged then. as it is being charged now. that he was a bad citizen. an inferior creature. The people who come here we are meeting every day. and I insist that it is not the fact. taken as a whole. that they are of the character that has been described here by my friend from Mississippi.
