“AS A NATION, WE BEGAN BY DECLARING THAT 'ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL.' WE NOW PRACTICALLY READ IT 'ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL, EXCEPT NEGROES.'; WHEN THE KNOW-NOTHINGS GET CONTROL, IT WILL READ 'ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL, EXCEPT NEGROES, AND FOREIGNERS, AND CATHOLICS.'; WHEN IT COMES TO THIS I SHOULD PREFER EMIGRATING TO SOME COUNTRY WHERE THEY MAKE NO PRETENSE OF LOVING LIBERTY – TO RUSSIA, FOR INSTANCE, WHERE DESPOTISM CAN BE TAKEN PURE, AND WITHOUT THE BASE ALLOY OF HYPOCRISY.”
