"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 pretence of loving liberty— to Russia, for instance."
