Resoioed further, That true advocates Of free labor
must necessarily be true friends to free and unobsructed
immigration that the right of citizenship ard the fun
enjoyment and exercise thereof, makes American
patriots out Of foreigners that abrdgement those
rights would necessarily tend to divide the citizens of the
Republic into different casesa ruling governed elias.

For that denies to Congress power which every Com

For that to justify the vena of our Congress and
the most unworthy -four Presidents stgmatzes as IN
constitutional the action of the purest our Congresses

For that denies the people of the Union soverei,
control over their own property.
For that comedies that sovereign control to the first
ofespasers who may take possession of that pro-
perry.
For that it denies the right Of citizenship To a who do
not the Anglo Saxon color, and if acquesced in NAV
serve as precedent for denying it to who do speak
the Anglo Saxon tongue.
For that il ignores the great political truth which we
here proclaim that in the absence of positive enactmens

For that these manifold errors were comnitte cd in de-

For that these manifold were committed in
