ing' is the full text of the President's
veto message delivered to the House
of Representatives last evening:
To th6 House of Representatives :
After a very careful consideration of
house bill 2,443, entitled "An act to
restrict the immigration of Chinese
to the United States," I herewith re
turn it to the House of Representa
tives, in which it originated, with my
objections to its passage.
The bill, as it was sent to the Sen
ate from the House of Representa
tives, was confined in its provisions
to the objeet named in the title, which
is that of an act to restrict the immi
gration of Chinese to the United
States. The only means adopted to
secnre the proposed object was a lim
itation on the number of Chinese pas
sengers which might be brought to
this" country by any one vessel to
fifteen and as this number was not
fixed in any proportion to the 6ize or
tonnage of the vessel, or by any con
sideration of the safety or accommo
dation of these passengers, the simple
purpose and effect ot the enactment,
was to repress this immigration to
any extent, falling but little short of
its absolute exclusion.
The bill as amended in the Senate
and now presented to me, includes an
independent and additional provision
which aims, and m terms requires.
the abrogation by this government
of articles 5 and 6 of the treaty with
China, commonly called the burlin
game treaty, through the action
the' exective, enjoined by this provi
ion of the act. The Burlingame
treaty, of which the ratifications were
exchanged at refill JNovemoer xs,
1869. recites as the occasion and mo
tive of its negotiation by tiie tw
governments, that since the conclu
sion of the treaty between the United
States of America and the Ta Tsm
Empire of China, of the 18th of June
1838, circumstances have arisen show
ing the necessity of additional articles
thereto, and proceeds to an agree
ment as to the said additional articles,
These negotiations ending by th
signature of the additional article
on July 28, 1868, had for their object
the completion of our treaty rights
and obligations toward the govern
ment ot China. J3y the mcorpora
tion of these new articles, as thence
forth parts of the principal treaty to
which they are made supplementa
upon the settled rules ot interpreta
tion applicable to such supplemental
negotiations, the text of the principal
treaty and ot these "additional arti
cles thereto, constitute one treaty
and form the conclusion or a nego
tiation in all parts of equal and con
current force and obligations between
the two governments, and to all
terests and purposes as if embraced
in one instrument. lhe pnncipa
treaty of which the ratifications wer
exchanged, August 16, 1859, recites
that the United States of America
and the Ta Tsing empire desiring to
maintain firm, lasting and sincer
lnendship, have resolved to renew ra
a manner clear and positive conven
tion of peace, amity and Commerce
the rules which shall in the future be
naturally observed in the intercourse
of their respective countries, and pro
ceeds in its 30 articles to lay out
careful and comprehensive system for
the commercial relations ot our people
with China. The main substance
all the provisions of this treaty is to
define and secure the rights or ou
people in respect ot access to resi
dence and protection in and trade
with China. The actual provisions
in our ravor in these respects are
found to have been adequate and to
the interests of our commerce, and by
the concluding article we receive the
important guaranty that should at
any time the Ta Tsing empire grant
to any nation or the merchants or
citizens of any nation, any right, priv
liege or favor connected either with
navigation, commerce, political, or
other intercourse, which is not con
ferred by this treaty, such right, priv
llego or ravor shall at once exist
freely for the benefit of the United
States to its public officers, merchants
and citizens. Agaiust the body of
stipulations in our favor, and for this
permanent engagement of equality
in respect of all future concessions to
foreign nations, the general promise
of permanent peace and good offices
on our part seems to be the only
equivalent for this. The first article
undertakes as follows: There shall be,
as there always has been, peace and
inenasnip oetween the United States
and the Ta Tsing empire and between
their people respectively. They shall
not insult or oppress each other for
any trifling cause so as produce an
estrangement between them, and if
any other nation should act unjustly
of oppressively, the United States
will extend their good offices on be
ing informed of the cause to bring
about an amicable arrangement of
the question, thus showing their
friendly feeling.
At the date of the negotiation of
this- treaty, our Pacific possessions
had attracted considerable Chinese
emigration, and the advantages and
the conveniences felt or feared there
from, had become more or less mani-,
feat, but they dictated no stipulation
on the subject, to be incorporated in
the treaty. The year 1868 was mark-
ed by the striking event of a sponta
neous embassy trom the Chinese em
pire, -neaded by an American citizen
Anson Burlingame, who had reli'n
qnished his diplomatic representation
ot his own country in China, to as
siime that ot the Chinese empire to
the United States and European na
tions. By this time the facts of Chi
nese immigration and its future influ
ence, present and prospective, had
become more noticeable and were
more observed by the population
immediately affected and by this gov
ernment, lho principal feature of
the Burlingame treaty was its atten
tion to ana its treatment ot vJhinese
immigration, and the Chinese as
forming, or as they should form, a
part of our population. Up to this
time our iineovenanted hospitality to
emigration, our tearless liberty of
citizenship, our equal and comprehen
sible justice to all inhabitants, wheth
er they adjured their foreign nation
ality or not, our civil freedom and our
religious toleration had made all
countries welcome ; and under these
protections the Chinese in considera
ble numbers had made their lodgment
upon our soil. lhe isurlingame
treaty undertakes to deal with this
situation and its fifth and sixth arti
cles embrace its most important pre
visions in this regard, and the main
stipulation on which the Chinese gov
eminent has secured an obligatory
protection of its subjects within our
territory. They read as follows :
Article 5. The United States of
America and the emperor of China
cordially recognize the inherent and
inalienable rights of man to change
his home and allegiance, and also the
mutual advantages of the free immi
gration of their citizens aud subjects
respectively from the one country to
the other, for purposes of curiosity,
of trade, or as permanent residents.
The high contracting parties there
fore join in reprobating any other
than an entirely voluntary immigra
tion for these purposes. They con
sequently agree to pass laws making
it a penal offense for a citizen of the
United States or Chinese subjects to
take Chinese subjects to the United
States or f any other foreign country,
or for a Chinese subject or citizen of
the United States, to take citizens of
the United States to China or to any
other foreign country, without their
free and voluntary consent respect
ively. Article 6. Citizens of the United
States visiting or residing in China
shall enjoy the same privileges, im
munities or exemptions in respect to
travel or residence as there may be
enjoyed by the citizens or subjects of
the most favored nations, and recip
rocally Chinese subjects visiting or
residing in the United States shall
enjoy the same privileges and immu
nities and exemptions in respect to
travelers' residence as may there be
enjoyed by the citizens or subjects of
the most favored nation. But noth
ing herein contained shall be held to
confer naturalization upon citizens of
the United btates in China nor upon
the subjects of China in the United
States.
An examination of these two arti
cles in the light of the experience
then influential in suggesting their
necessity will show that the 5th arti
cle was framed in hostility to what
seemed to be the mischief to be guar
ded against, to wit : the introduction
of Chinese laborers by methods which
should have the character of a forced
and servile importation and not ot a
voluntary immigration of freemen
seeking our shores upon motives and
in a manner consonant with the sys
tem ot our institutions and approved
by the experience of the nation. Un
questionably the adhesion of the gov
ernment of China to these liberal
principles of freedom in emigration
with which we are so familiar, and
with which we were so well sat
isfied, was a great advance towards
opening that empire to our civiliza
tion and religion, and gave promise
in the future of greater and greater
practical results in the diffusion
throughout that great population of
our arts and industries, our manufac
tures, our material improvements, and
the sentiments of government and
religion which seems to us so import
ant to the welfare ot mankind. The
first clause of this article secures this
acceptance by China of the American
doctrines of free emigration to and
fro among the people and races of the
earth.
The second clause, however, in its
reprobation of any other than an en
tirely voluntary emigration by both
the high contracting parlies, and in
the reciprocal obligations where we
secured the solemn and unqualified
engagement on the part of the gov
ernment of China to pass laws mak
ing it a penal offense for citizens of
the United States or Chinese subjects
either to the United States or to anv
other foreign country without .their
free and voluntary consent, consti
tutes the great force and value ot this
article. Its importance, both in prm
ciple and in its practical service tr
wards our protection against servile
mportation in the guise ot immigra
tion, cannot be overestimated, it
commits the Chinese government to
active and efficient measures to sup
Dress this iniquitous system where
those measures are most necessary
and can be most effectual. It gives
to this government the footing of a
treaty right to such measures and the
means and opportunities of insisting
pon their adoption and ot complaint
and resentment at their neglect. The
5th article, therefore, if it falls short
of what the pressure of the latter ex
perience of our Pacific States may
urge upon the attention of this gov
ernment as essential to the welfare,
seems to be in the right direction and
to contain important advantages
which, once relinquished, cannot be
easily recovered. The second topic
which interested the two governments lation nor such judicial action on the
under the actual conditions of things same has been regarded as an abroga
which prompted the Burlingame tion even for the moment of the trea-
treaty, was adequate protection under ty. On the contrary, the treaty in
the solemn and definite guarantees such case still subsists between the
of the treaty, of the Chinese already governments, and the cause of in-

were tne rest or tne treaty left in
force, would leave them to such treat
ment as we should voluntarily ac
cord them by our laws and customs.
Any treaty obligation would be
wanting to restrain our liberty of ac
tion towards tneni, or to measure
or sustain the right of the Chinese
gress in thus procuring an amend
ment of a treaty a competent exer
cise of authority under the constitu
tion. lhe importance, however

debt should be paid so fair as his

has ever since been ready ; but the
two commissioners waved in their
action, and thus, these Douglas coun
ty creditors, some of whom are poor,
hard working men, are virtually de
frauded and denied the wages of their
toil. It looks discreditable to the
original university incorporators, if
they were liable, to have permitted
an assignment pending these debts;
atlti dishonorable to Lane county to
have it said that the commissioners
refuse to liquidate so honorable an
indebtedness. Surely our University
should remain free from any such a
blighting procedure, as its association
with such an orgin stands not to its
fame."

lhe lapse ot ten ed. lhe renunciation by one party
in their behalf
years since the negotiation of the
Burlingame treaty has exhibited to
the notice of the Chinese government
as well as to our own people, the
working of this experiment of immi
of a part necessarily liberates th
other party from the whole treaty. I
am convinced that whatever urgency
might in any quarter or by any in
terest be supposed to require an in
of our citizens in China, merchants
or missionaries, to the consequence
of so sudder. an abrogation of the
treaty protection. Fortunately, how
ever, the actual recessions in the flow
of immigration from China to th
Pacific coast, as shown by trnstwor
or
gration in great numbers of Chinese stant suppression of further immigra
laborers to this country and their Hon from China, no reason can re
maintenance here of all the traits of quire the immediate withdrawal
ace, religion, manners and customs, our treaty protection of the Chinese
habitation, mode of life, segregation already in this country, and no cir
here, and the keeping up of the ties enmstances can tolerate an exposui
ot their original horrre, which stamp
them as strangers and sojourners, and
not as incorporated elements ot our
national life and growth, this exper
lence may naturally suggest the re
consideration of the subject as dealt
with by the burlingame treaty, and
may propsrly become the occasion of thy statistics, releaves us from any
more direct and circumspect recogni
tion in renewed negotiations of the
difficulties surrounding this political
and social problem.
it may wen be that to the appre
hension of the Chinese government
no less than our own, the simple pro
vision of the Burlingame treaty may
need to be replaced by more careful
methods, securing the Chinese and
ourselves against a larger and more
rapid infusion of this foreign race
than our system ot industry and so
ciety can take up and assimilate with
ease and safety, lhis ancient gov
ernment, ruling a polite and sensitive
people, distinguished by a high sense
of national pride, may properly de
sire an advancement ot their relations
with the United States, which would
in all things confirm and in no de
gree endanger tne permanent peace
and amity and the growing commerce
and prosperity whicb it has been the
object and effect ot our existing
treaties to cheerish and perpetuate.
I regard the very grave discontent
of the people of the Pacific States
with the present working of the Ch
nese immigration, and their still gra
ver apprehensions therefrom in the
future, is deserving the most serious
attention of the people of the whole
country, and a solicitous interest on
the part of congress and the execn
tive. If this were not my own judg
ment, the passage ot this bill by both
houses ot congress would impress
upon me the seriousness of the situa
tion, when a majority of the repre
sentatives ot the people of the whole
country had thought it necessary to
1 usury so serious a measure of relief.
The authority of congress to termin
ate a treaty with a foreign power by
expressing the will of the nation no
longer to adhere to it, is as free from
controversy under our constitution as
is the further proposition that the
power of making new treaties or mod
dying existing treaties is not lodged
by the constitution in congress, but
in the president, by and with the ad
vice and consent of the senate, as
shown by the concurrence of two
thirds ot that body.

than has ever been suggested by th

ing treaties with China as greatly
more inconvenient to much wid

SION. California Elastic
After practicing medicine many years in this eity.
during which time I have had an extensive experience
m the application of all kinds of Trusses, I can and
do recommend yours as the hest in every respect for
it is as near perfection as modern science can make it
It has mahy advantages over the torturing steel-hoop
Trusses, which inflict great injury on the hips and
spine, bringing on other distressing ailments, such as
lumbago, morbid affections of the kidneys and numb
ness in the lower limbs, all of which are avoided by
wearing the California Elastic Truss. It is not only a
perfect retainer, combining esfe and comfort, but the
pressure can be changed to any degree. It also re
mains in its proper place at all times, regardless of the
motions of the body, and is worn night and day with,
perfect Tease. It is superior to any of the Elastic
Trusses now in the market, while it combines the
merits of all. 1st It is easily adjusted on and off
with snaps, doing away with straps and buckles.
2d The universal spring between the plate and pad
prevents all irritation, which is a god-send to the suf
ferer. 3d. The pad is adjusted on and off in an in
stant, and can be changed for any other size and form,
most suitable to the case. In fact it combines every
quality essential to comfort and durabiiity, and isun
qualed in lightness, elasticity, natural action, and
artistic finish. Many of my patients who are afflicted
with hernia are wearing them, and all shall in the fu
ture, for I think the great ease with whirf i these
purely scientific appliances are made efficacious, ia
trulv remarkable. You can refer any parties to me
on the subject of their merits. I remain truly yours.
