Uses, are, as briefly stated by Senator
Stewart in his speech a: the Carson
Theater on Saturday night, in sub
stance as follows:

dent Pierce which was supported by a
Democratic Senate and House of Rep
resentatives, and after the Cinnamon
had began swarming into California a
treaty was made between China and
the United States, negotiated upon the
part of this Government by Pierce, and
ratified by the Democratic Senate, by
the terms of which, Cinnamon were
permitted to come to the United States
and bring their servants Tor coolies)
with them and by the further terms
Of which, the natives of China were
admitted amongs rs upon equal terms
with the people of :" the most favored
nations" II is coutended, with much
showing Of reason, that by this clause
of the said treaty Chinese male adults
were privileged to declare their inten-
tons as citizens of the United States
and enter upon tn, privileges incident
to such declaration and that they
could. further, claim the right of com
plete naturalization. 0t may be re-
marked here, in paren,bisis, that nat
uralization does not, of itself, carry |
with it the right Of suffrage for for
