The point was made here yesterday that after the State of New York. through its judicial tribunals. had accepted the citizenship and allegiance. under oath. of Julio Sanguily. that record was liable to collateral attack in favor of Spain against the United States. That is the attitude. Senators get upon the floor. and for the purpose of justifying the imprisonment of Sanguily they take the ground here that he was justly condemned to a life in chains because they could imagine. out of the testimony in this case as they conceive it. that there had been some fraud in the naturalization of Sanguily. If Sanguily had never been naturalized in this country. there is. Mr. President. an impulse of humanity that seems to be a welcome impulse. and very much at home in the Christian heart. which prompts. encourages. and sustains an honest Christian man in his demand that persecution under the name of the law and under the form of the law shall not be employed by any nation. at least one near to us. for the purpose of crushing out the life of a poor. old wounded. soldier. whose festering wounds. acquired twenty years ago. still disable him from hard labor and from the service of his family except in a precarious way.
