Edward L. Pierce, Memoir and letters of Charles Sumner: volume 4, chapter 10 (search)
essentially just. Concerning naturalized citizens emigrating from Germany. It embodies the claim originally made by Cass, and for a long time denied by Prussia. His claim represented high-water mark on this question in our country, and now Germany reaches this point. The treaty was carried, after debate, by thirty-nine to eight. The House passed at this session a bill concerning the rights of naturalized citizens. It came up for consideration late in January, and was voted upon April 20, 1868. N. P. Banks, chairman of the committee on foreign affairs, reported it, and led in the debate. He had been a conspicuous Know-Nothing, and was elected to Congress in 1854 by that secret order. He made a speech the next winter in the House in favor of its methods of secrecy and against foreigners and Catholics. Dec. 18, 1854, Congressional Globe, App. p. 48. Sumner had maintained the rights of foreign-born citizens against the Know-Nothing or American party. Speech in Faneuil Hall
