rs OF Pa upon the same subject Mr. held opln
ions totally contrary to those advocated with 50
much zeal by that gentleman, and could not aho"
the occasion 10 pass without an expression otthem
He believed that the views OF Mr. l.. were narrow
both in relation to the policy which ought Il
pursue at home toward the subjects OF ioreigi
Governments seeking an asylum and home among
Us as well as abroad. toward those government
/ themselves America must not be limited by an
such unworthy notions. but must extend her arm'
in the spirit of true democracy 10 embrace the chll
dren of all the families of man. Mr.. l. was through
ont forcibe and often eloquent aud held the HOUSE

Mr.. DlCKEY Of Pa. followed in support Oh VI
striking out the appropriation. The items Tor ne
n. ions. he said did not properly belong to hi
bill. whose purpose was to supply the dehclencie
ia the appropriations for the current year, wherea
these items were for totally new purposes. They
ought to be acted upon in the blll which the Com
mittee on Foreign Relations had regularly report
ed concerning them. For this reason he oppose
the appropriation as made in this place.
Mr. CHARLES BRowN OF Pa. followed in SOM
pertinent remarks He was opposed IN t0t0 10 th'
introduction of religion and religious prejudice
upon that floor. Between religion and polItlo
there should exist wall Of separation which
should never allow the sacred subjects OF the one
10 be degraded and perverted in the arena OF IN
other He also replied to the arguments OF Mr.
LEyIN, and handled them with considerable Sc
verify.
