We behold Senators from the two States where there is less popular liberty than in any others shouting loudest for constitutional liberty on the other side of the globe. Can such a motley army. until it restores constitutional liberty to darkskinned citizens at home. make a mock crusade for liberty halfway around the globe? Let our white people lift up our darkskinned citizens at home before we protect an Asiatic republic. If this hypocritical solicitude for the rights of 8.000.000 colored men yonder beget real solicitude for 10.000.000 colored citizens at home it could better be endured. Let Senators remove this beam in their own eyes. and then see clearly the motes in the eyes of their brothers.
