true tru Early In the thu winter whiter of at 1 G len Gen Sibley left lef Texas with wih ft A I large force orce probably from front to G 6 nearer perhaps than ether either I need not nol state stal that Gen Oen Sibley was wa a n West Point om olli and a man mUl thoroughly familiar with wih the tho western westel country Ho lie le moved moed Into New Mexico He lie le was sits mot met soon after ho he Rot got into New Now Mexico by Gen with wih three New Mexican regiments Gen force was tas greatly Interior Inferior to that thaL tha of ot Gen Sibley These New Now Mexican forces under Canby held Bib Sib Bibley Bibley ley hey In check tar for DOme noma time tinte but being len le A In number they were compelled gradually to retire toward the capital of ot New Naw Mexico The Tue he point for tor which Ibl hail started was wan first to strike Fort t lon tho the government of or orthe the United States hall had then a n very tory large quantity of munitions of war amount amounting ing In to ninny many Inny millions of dollars The Tue second point to which he lie was reaching teaching was ns as the continental stage stleo line to cut cutoff oft off communications with California We had In Colorado a n regiment raised the thi Rummer before In a n very cry Irregular manner and It I had hud been rejected by br bythe bythe the general government It I took tim the united efforts of ot all al li the tue people of Col Colorado Colorado orado for months month to lo get got the tho gov government gO of ot the tho United d States to ac no accept Opt that regiment Some time late In Inthe the lie tall fall or early earl In the winter the gov government ov accepted It Tile The he regiment was Wil lu composed of about 1000 men We WI had hud In addition to lo that thal n a battery nod and about aboul cavalry So we had hal in Inthe Inthe the tho Colorado force about 1200 men menTho menThe menThe The Tho government of or the United States ordered a it I portion purton of those troops nod and anda noda a portion of them only to New Ness Mexico Melco to Canby About of ot o the tho troops were ordered Into New Mexico Tho In command com 11 Il reached a point not nOl far tar from Fort Lyon Lon where about 40 of the Colorado troops were stationed The Tho Colorado troops troop so Vre and who were to bo be left In Colorado Insisted h that tha It If there wan tvan to tobe tobe tobe be any nn fighting they had hind not nol enlisted to remain In the tue fort and that l the would go eo to Now New Mexico with wih tue rest anti and anlin In of oC tho the protest of tho the colonl colonI con ln contrary contrary to the designs of the general genera guy gov government gO gOern ern me nt they marched out with wih him to lo meet Canby Couriers from remit Gen Canby were sent cent up to the Colorado troops coming down dowis downto own to t hurry their passage stating that thal It I was If tulLe with Ills his Inferior forces to lo hold holl the Confederate te army In Incheck Incheck incheck check und nod us as lS I stated a n few moments ago ngo tim the last tiny day this Infantry made a ci lurch of ot 02 6 miles mies marching all al day dil anti and am all ul night and Id In lii tac te early curly gray of the morning moring striking Sibley They did not wait for tiny uny un orders from Canby but bul sailed Into Pito him hint burnt his baggage train Which they struck first and with wih the time aid of or the New Now Mexicans and len Gen Can Canby Canby oll by br routed route Gen Sibley Sibley having lost his baggage train and nud having failed to reach tho the munitions of war at nt Fort l ort Union linion nion of course turned his hh face tace towards Texas lexa I Now Mr Ir President nt I 1 should not have referred to this matter at all ul but bul the tue statement made mado by y the tue senator might leave the time inference e that I had been careless at nt least In tn not giving to lO the time people of ot the credit that they were entitled to receive I only claimed that Canby had held In check until our troops coops got gOl and that was all ni that could have hae been expected with wih the tIme small email number he then thon hat had Now Mr President I do 10 mb not nol care roro to lO debate debato this question queston I am nYu going to present some pome facts on some other oc occasion casion In connection with this debate If It the debate Is to continue I have some come things I desire to say SR and that I X believe ought to lie be 0 said sall In defense of those tho of ot us who think tho the time Um has come when Justice requires that thal these people eollo should be le admitted Into the tho Union and that too In tn spite of every everything everything everything thing that has line been written by the committee or spoken so far as ns I know by II the opponents of ot the bill Mi But Hut I Ishall shall hahl Ihal pot not attempt to do that Mr Pres President PresIdent President ident tonight tonIght Mr sir McCumber McCumber Mr Jr President there thero has haa been much injustice It seems seema to me medo done do no to these Mexicans In tn comparing them with wih other nationalities and drawing an odious comparison as ns to their ability to understand and ami read or write the English language It I appears to me that we ought to take Into Inlo con cob consideration col one 01 condition there that thai has hns never Mer applied apple to any foreigners com corn coming comIng ing log to any nn other section of the country Ix Let It t Us ua remember this one fact tact and then lien apply it I We WI simply removed the boundary line lino lne of Mexico ft rt few fes tel hundred miles mies fouth ruth We Wo had there ther a population that was practically Mexican That IoPU population lation Inton was wa segregated hundreds of miles mies from the rest of the populated section of the th United Status We had lied to cross hundreds of miles of ot territory before we could rould reach their settlement not nt only on the east cast but on the west They The were practically segregated from front nil all ni the balance of ot the United Unie States Now let M us u suppose that thaI we had 1 I Germans or any other element In that same section does any city person claim that they would have hao learned time the tle Eng Ing l n helm Ish language as an readily and as proper properly ly IV 1 as ns they have done dona In the state of Minnesota It I must be remembered that the for foreigners foreigners eigners front from trl Europe l ure who have come conic to lo this country have not nol come as a n body bedy They The have halve come here hero gradually They have hae b bee learning the tho Ian lan language guage gradually They have come Into Inton n a country where the flue I language was wal spoken and necessity which Is the mother of ot invention compelled com led them to lo learn loarn tho the English h language For or In Instance instance stance Russians HU and that class of ot poo peo CO COllIe pie PlC coming to the tho state cf of North Da Dakota kota kot or Minnesota very vry readily learn the English but lut suppose we wo had hod had them all 01 up In Alaska and segregated S from rein tho ito balance of the lie United States does anyone anone claim that they the would have adopted the tho English I ngung readily really Suppose If It we ve cold reach beyond our own border that wo we would extend our laws lils over a I portion porton of ot Norway NOnI or Germany German today where h the tho people are surrounded by those speaking their own language lanute does doel any nn person claim that then they the would r adopt a n new language Yet Yel thin Is exactly exact the condition of those people ole In New Mexico They have hao haon never actor n r had hall nn an o to under understand understand stand the English language They Th y have never neer been brought enough In connection conn with tho the classes to compel them to learn lear It It It I seems to me that If it I we will wil wIl take tako any an anI population I of ot a 1 element ement antI and place them In tim the same Rame conditions that have surrounded this little band ban of ot Mexicans In a n territory so 10 far from rota tho the portion porton of the United States the comparison with other peo people p eo pic situated under the name caine conditions would be b favorable to the Mexican there I t simply speak of ot this Mr Pre because It seems to lo me mo that lint tle tho comparison on does toes not Out do to them jus justice just justl tice t tl e eJr Mr Jr r Quay rose rS Mr hr the time senator from Pennsylvania kid hl tome for a n moment moment I do ho 10 not nt want to prolong the debute d nt at althis this tittle t desire del Ire to say M to the senator from Colorado y Mr Teller that I J hail had hn no intention to do him any an In In this matter maler end and nl If it I I J have hlo misrepresented ml him I J am Rm sorry for tor It ItI It ItI I J have ha Iatt the

Intention to do 10 him hint any aimy alY Mr 1 Teller I do not myself think lie tho senator had hiatt any such intention Mr Quay Mr President I 1 rise riso 1110 to lo ask the tho unanimous consent of ot the tho senate that a I vote be taken upon this bill bil anti and the pending amendments |
