In view of the discussion by the Senator from Pennsylvania of the question of immigration. I desire to call his attention to page. 524 of The Formation of the Union. and to an observation made by a distinguished representative from Pennsylvania in the Constitutional Convention: Mr. Wilson cited Pennsylvania as a proof of the advantage of encouraging emigrations. It was perhaps the youngest settlement on the AtlanticI am quoting from Mr. Wilson nowyet It was at least among the foremost in population and prosperity. He remarked that almost all the general officers of the Pennsylvania line of the late army were foreigners.
