Look up your facts. I say that the people who now boast their superior ancestryand it is splendidthese sante people are supposed to have been the paupers and immigrants in 1820. 1830. 1840. and 1850. Gentlemen. I went through the Congressional Directory find I discovered that there are 150 Congressmen whose names are not in the first census of 1790. There are 150 Congressmen who are descendants. apparently. on the male side. from these people that were considered so undesirable In 1838. In all times you find this antiforeign feeling. and. mind you. the prejudice that existed in 1838 was not against the Italian.
