it yes sir sir that sacred instrumentals instrument ls is invoked arid and thrust between us and our eunse consciences it inces and our dearest sensibilities bili ties it was invoked yesterday to save the white man and today to day to destroy the indians it if the constitution ution of we united states slates forbids me from aiding by an appropriation of mone money y to save the Califor california rila indians from starvation if i it t could step with blasphemous phenous ph emous Inte intension between me arid and tase those sacred gacien rei feelings lings of our nature which god and natures Natu ies god has of poor humanity theair I 1 say that I 1 my ayi friends bends will know w where hereto to find mei men n regard to the construction of that instrument but sir the constitution of my

which is tau taught libby by the constitution of the united states sir so 99 far from this as a dol donation lation so far from considering this proposition which asks you to give but Ds as a ax extravagant donation I 1 hold bold that you are bound by all your responsibilities as senators and statesmen tp to protect them cost what it may that the there relay may be no misapprehension abul about this amendment I 1 twill will repeat what I 1 take to be its ob jec tits its iii essence sence I 1 it is to indians in cali fioria from frob sl arvator we are told that there are seventy thousand indians in a is starving tarvin condition con diton in california I 1 believe it and thesis are the indians of whom I 1 have endeavored tot drai affable afe able victure ric ture and to whom I 1 feel that we ave ar so much indebted b e ii a and nd for whom we cannot cina do too much but it is said that this bill has not come up ip in it a proper proper shape that it if we ass pass this appropriation we shall be setting a precedent li hereafter ere after to ie be followed arid and therefore that it ought riot not to be passed we are aie ea that e even ell it if it were a thing proper to be done aone that 1000 would no not t be enough to answer the ae purpose and nd therefore it should not pass some gentl gentlemen emeri would riot not have it done because it is not in accordance
