Committec Room 1
January lltli 1856. f
To the Bon. E. R. Runnels President of the Senate :
Tbo Committee on State Affnirs to whom was referred the
Joint Resolution of Instruction and Request to the Senators
' and Representatives of this Stato in iho Confess of tho United
'Stales requiring of them a certain course upon tho legislation
ofthoPedsrat Government with regard to persons of foreign
' .Trirtb having considered the propositions contained in the said
Resolution havo instrncted me to report to the Senato:
That considering the state of parties in the country and tho
main questions in dispute between them it is fairly inferred
. that tho ptesent resolution is intended to be an embodiment of
one of tho doctrines of tho so called American Party. Every
principle stated in the resolution has bcon advocated by that
party and combated by the Democracy.
- What sbonia bo onr Legislative nction towards persons of
.'foreign birth has been fairly tendered as an issne by tho Amer-
ican Party and this Committee on the part of the Democracy
willingly accept it
Before wo enter upon a disenssion of the Resolntion it will
beDronerto 6ettle the meaning of the terms used theroin. It
kbut just to tbo author of ths Joint Resolntion to suppose that
he n6es the term naturalisation in me buuiw acew w mv;i mu -
American Party uses it and that is that the naturalization of a
as those embraced in the first secciou. So far from claimin"
thia.rig'ht with respect to the States Congress ha3 recognized
thesamo right in regard to the territories. In the fifth section
of the organic act of Nebraska and Kansas Congress has declar-
ed what shall be the qualifications of voters. But it is expressly
declared that at all subsequent elections tho qualifications of
voters and of holding office shall be prescribed by the Legisla-
tive Assembly and the only restription which is put upon the
granting of these rights is that they shall not bo oxteuded toper-
eohb who have not declared their intention to become citizens
of tho Uuited States. Congress doubtless assumed and exer-
cised the right of prescribing in this instance the qitnlification
of voters at the orgrtnic election in view of the fact that a largo
and inhabited territory- was unorganized and of course there
was no government thero to declare who should and who should
not vote; andro organize tho teirito-atall it wasnecessary-that
an election should be had and that votes should be given. And
if votes were to be given it was necessary they should be given
by some rule. Congress made this rule but as if shrinkingfrom
the right to control the elective franchise of Territories as well
asStates. it w?s expressly declared that immediately upon an
organization the rnle should erase and the right should pass
to the Territorial Legislature whore it belonged. It is not a
question for this Committee now to consider whether Con-
gress did right in restricting tho right of voting and holding
office to those who had declared their intention to become citi-
zens of tho United States this restriction to be in force after the
organization of the territory. Nor is it now a matter of enqui-
ry whether or not Congress had a right to prescribe tho qualifi-
cations of voters and eligibility of officers oven at the organic
election. It is plain that at this time Congress went very far"
towards the abandonment of the exorcise of authority to control
the olectivoiranchise in the territories and for this reason the
Committee approve the actiou of Cougross in the Nebraska
Kansas Act nd it is this principle in that act at which the
fourth proposition of the resolution is aimed. If dissatisfaction
ii felt with that part of tho Act which we have been discu66ing
it is not because the Act went too far but because it did not go fnr
enough. Aside from the constitutional and inherent right of the
people of the territories to control their elective franchise it is ab-
surd to say that a people organized as a State can exercise that
right intelligently and with benefit :o themselves when another
foreigner by the Congress of the United States carries with it j peoupi0 0f equal intelligence and virtue orcranized as a territory
the right of voting. The term naturalization has no sur.i . e&mot do En
. The same reasoning wuld prove that they were not qualified
' to choose a Justice of the Peace ai.d they should bo held in
i pupilage until numbers entitled them to the rank of a State
i wdien "by this magic change in the form of their government
I they were restored to common sense. According to this argn-
ment. 9-.033 ueonle mav be nil dolts : but add to that nninber
qualifications are prescribed by every State at its pleasure. ' just Qne mQ ftnd tjc .hole in8tantiy become intellig nt vo-

tlised bnt when we come to examine the qualification roquired
of voter wo find that other and different laws prescribe them.
Nowhere are women allowed to vote yet. they may be natur-
alized. So with minors. In some conn tries a man must be
white in others he may be of any color and these and other
fJovernmcnt is limited strictly to the expressions of its Consti
tution. There has always been a party in the United States
which desired to make tho Federal Government strong and
tbe most doxttrons feats of that party by whatever name called
is been to construe the terms in the Constitution giving pow-
er to Congress to mean more than they do mean and to include
something that they were never intended to include. Thus ihe
" power to roznbieWJnmw" is forced to mean " regulate in-
UrcourseS' To coin money" includes the power towif mo-
jwy.an& the power of ncturahation that of the regulation of
the electivo franchise. It is ensy to perceive that this sort of
construction would rob the States of nil their powers and the
Federal Government would become a central tyranny.
It is the highest duty of a Legislature to bo watchful for the
righfs-ofithe State ; every encroachment upon the most minor of
these should be promptly arrested. But t'te right of a State to
regulate absolutely tho elective franchise within its limits is
not a right of minor importance. Bnfc ono tho surrender of
which involve the surrender of its independence. For once
fellow Congress to say who shall and who shall not voce in a
Stato; from that moment Congress hns but to exercise the pow-
er to control its elections and rednce the Stato to be a mere
county of tho GovGrnmont. If there wero still a doubt as to
whsther tho framers of the Constitution intended to give
Congress power to regnlato tho electivo franchise within the
States 6Ucb doubt wonld be removed by a consideration of tho
2i section of tho 1st article and the 1st section of tho 2d article
of th.t instrument Each Stato shell appoint electors of Presi-
dent and Ti co-President in. such manner as the Legislature
thereof may direct- And tho qualifications of electors of Rep-
resentatives in Congress are made the samo as those required of
electors of tho most numerous branch of tho State Legislature.
Thus tho Constitution refrains from prescribing tho qualifi-
cations of voters even for officers of the Federnl Government
and expressly admits that tho power to do so is left with tho
States. And 60 in practice one class of men aro qualified voters
for electors of President of theUnited States andfor Repiesentati-
rcsin Congress in oneJtatewhile thosamoclnssaronotqnaliBcd
voters for tho same officers in another Stato. Congress shall
have power to establish a "nnifonnrnloof naturalization;"
now if the foreigner by naturalization acquires aright nuder
the Constitution to vote no State-cin deprive him of that
right or restrict it; yet ovory State does allow or prohibit as
It pleases any class of mon fmrr voting. This uniform rale "
4oen conioa to mean- ono thing in one place and a different
thing in another place.
That tho Congress of. tho United States has-takea the-sama
view of this question in its Constitutional bearings ns that taken
by the -Conunitteo is evident. For during tho whole period
of tho Uuion it has never attempted to exercise sncTf a power
some example by which to prove that the consequence of their
voting had been bad. The comrai'tee have been unable to as
certain a single example of a bad result. On the contrary in
hose ideas if acted upon would consolidate the States. Ono of t- the (jasc of he territorIes - wo iare been considering the
only troubles which have occurred have beon worked bv immi-
grants not from foreign conntries but from American States
native born who bonst an American ancestry of two centuries
and a half to the Plymouth rock but who now in contempt of
the rights of individuals and of States trample upon the most
sacred laws and audaciously proclaim upon the. floor of Con-
cress that there is no higher law than the -will of their abolition
majorities.
"If the propriety of granting land to foreigners who come
to this country to reside be considered merely with refer-
ence to its policy wo answer that the policy is a good one. It
is'an evident fact that vacant domain produces no rSvenno to
thelytate. It is also evident that land appropriated becomes
taxable and doe3 produce a revenue and that revenue is in pro-
portion to the value of the property. If tho appropriated land
be reduced to cnltivation its value is increased and bo is the
revenue of the State. If tlje State make a free gift to any
person native or alien of as many acres of land as he can use
and he docs occupy and use it the State gains by the gift; and
it is pleasant to reflect that while in this manner the Stato has
strengthened by this addition to its population and revenue at
the same time thousands of our fellow men aro made happier.
When ill requited labornnd unappreciated intellect have fled
from the severity and oppression of foreign clime3 to reach tx
harbor upon our shores with the hope that here may be allowed
the exercise and expansion of those faculties with which man
is endowed spurn them deprive them of the proudest rights of
man aud 3on will have a dejected and degraded cast in your
midst a fester upon tho State. But give the right to hold
property and most of all property real estate confer tbo elec-
tive franchise make them freemen and they will be elevated
and the Stat- have good cHizens.
The policy of Texa3 ingrantinglinds toimmigrants has always
boen liberal. P. n the first year ol the Republic large headnghfs
were offered to those who would come and Fettle among ns and
the various Legislatures of tlie Stato have been continually mak-
ing grants to actnal settlers of the public domain. So anxious
was the Republic to add to its population that foreigners were
rewarded for coming to us in large colonies and if objection
can bo made to immigration in its present form when the int.
migrants are scitterod and absorbed among tho nativeswith
how much greater force should such objection have applied to
a system of colonization by the operation of which masses of
foreigners were congregated and for a rancli- longer period
would remain nn-Americanized. Even at the last session of our
Legislature a law was passed extending the civil rights of
aliens and this law was enacted without opposition and with
singular unanimity. In that Legislature wero many of those
now numbered m the ranks of the American party winch had

And whatqualifications have American Con-nls residing abroad
of judging the character ofthose who may oiler to migrate to this
country. They know but little of tho particular standing ofthose
who reside in the same c tics with themselves and much le-cs
of those who live in remote Districts. The Consul who should
be called on to give a certificate must do so bv gues or on
vonclierd of irresponsible persons or he must dep.-nd for his
information upon the local. authorities of the country. Tho
two first means of establishing reputation woiild hardly bo re-
commended by even the airhor nf the Joint Resolution. The.
last is more objectionabl still. Th foreign govcrmnctsj being
nblo to give certificates to whom they pleased or to withhold
them would havo it in their power to say who should or who
should not emigrate to ihe United State3. We may bo certain
they would keep tho better cl ss and let the worse go. In this
wa. this country wonld secnie to itself a monopoly of the dregs
of the world and yet tho American parry is clamorous for a laV
to prevent paupers aird criminals from coming here.
This regulation would shut off those patriots who for political
offences are compelled to fly from their ndtivoland and among
t ose are found some of the most honorable :nd intelligent mon
in the world. We do r.oi wish to Be onr country robbed of the
proud right to boast that she is the asylum of the oppressed of
all nations. Wo can imagine that the British Government
would have been well pleased to have known that the case of
Mitchell and of Meagher would have been met by such a regu-
lation as this and the Emperor of Austria woud have rejoiced
to have known that this was our policy when our government
in unison with tho wish of the people sent a national vessel to
rescue the patriotic political ..ffonders of Hungary from hte op-
pression. AttLnt time the American nation gave snch a mani-
iestation of its feelings as to leave no one unconvinced that the
policy proposed in the joint resolution is any thing but an
American one.
This Stale enacted a law m 1850 defining on what conditions
all persons should immigrate toil i hereby declaring her right lo
legislnie upon the matter. Texas having assumed and exercised
the right of legislating thereon gomi neighborly feeling if noth-
ing else should suggest to her the impropriety of asking tho Fed
eral Government to thrust herlegislntiot) noon a bister estate.
On the grounds nb-wo set forth the committee nm of opinion
that Legislation by iho Congress ol the United States on the
above meiiuoiu'd subjects would be unconstitutional and full of
jic-ril to the States; that thosK giihjrcts are within the exclusive
jurisdiction of th State Governments ind further thai tho
meeiires proposed Rr btid in policy.
lt in addition m the reasoning which has brought us to these
conclusions we b? allowed to rely upon the niiihonty of the
ilIt;strioii6 men who in the "sirlier and purer days ol our na-
tional existfiir." took part in the management nf onr overu-
ineni we"Vrould refer to ihe fri ihnt the law fixing theVhorleat
term of probatiuii for naturalization which wus ever passed by
Gongrss w.s approved by t lit- Father of his Country; and the
same. hand which dr.ifred the Declaration of our Independence
(enumerating therein a o-ie of the charges justifying war smamst
ICing George that monarch's hostility to laws for the naturali-
zation of foreigners in this country) nhosiirned the act sweeping
the alinn and sediiion laws from ihe Statute book.
If it be considered appropriate to introduce Gen. Houston in
this connection as authority we would refer to his course when
President of the Republic of Texas in executing tho contracts
for the introduction of colonics of foreigners and still later in
his offering in the Senate of the United State- a ' resolution in-
structing The committee on public lands to enquire into th expe-
diency of granting free of charge 1 60 acres of laud toeiuigraub-
who were then here or might arrive previously to the 4th of
March thereafter with the condition that theyshotild erect build-
ings and clear ten acres."
He "thought that the lands could not he better disposed of
than in providing homes for the necessitous citizens of our
country and those who may come to our shores requiring as-
sistance." He boasted that this had been the policy of Texas. "To theD
people who are flocking to ourshores he wished to extend a wel-
come with real benefits" and h " would be rejoiced to know
that half of our domain was given away to those who would be-
come occupants of it."
The committee herewith" report the accomuanying resolutions
as a substitute for the original resolution referred to them and
they recommend their adoption.

The foregoing able report ha- been presented to me as one. of
the committed to approve. 1 most cheerfully endorse the greater
part of it but must prefix to my signature the following :
I hold that '-to establish a u.ulbrm rule of uatiiraliza-ion"
give' to Congress the right to fix the term of naturalization to
twenty-one years more or te.-s. That the State only can d?cido
as to the qualifications of citizenship and control the right of
suffrage within its limits.
That I am not just now prepared to declare that Congress
under no circumstaficus. not even with theconscntof a State or
the States can exercise no power over persons coming from for-
eign governments to the shores of the United State? nor am I
willing to admit by inference even that it wonld be " policy" in
Texas to " make n freo gift" of her vacant lands. " to naiit e or
alien to occupy and use it.''
I had hoped that the original resolutions would bu rejected;
aad that the matters Contained in the suhMitnte would be left Jor
the action of tho DemocraticIOonvcntion which meets on next
Wednesday in this city.

JOINT RESOLUTION.
- Be it Resolved by th& Legislature of the Slate of Texas That
there exists no necessity for an extension of the time of residence
in this country now required of foreigners to enable them to
become naturalized American citizen's and that the long estab-
lished policy of the country in the naturalization of foreigners
is a purely American one has eminently conduced to its present
prosperity made it the land of liberty and the asylum for the
oppressed of every land and is in accordance with tht liberal
principles of the Declaration of Indsppudence.
Ihat it belongs exclusively to each ibtnm to bestow the right of
toay. It may thus populate a Territory with whatever sort of
population a Congressional majority may desire and it may
prohibit oven travt-linrr between the different oarts of the Union.

oppoEe the granting of any relief whatever to that
Coiupanv that no compromise should bo raado

not in favor of giving them one single aero of

heard many of thorn make these statements and
pledge themselves before their constituency when
