- These writers, such as [Frederick Douglass] ... , assume to consider Haiti as a responsible member of the family of nations. The world knows what she is and the world is rarely altogether wrong. ... It is absurd to talk of the law to a nation which has no respect for law or its prcedents, and the sooner the people of that island are given to understand this the better it will be for all concerned. The United States has exercised rare forbearance and leniency to Haiti. She can afford to, but there is a limit, and Haiti has almost reached it. (en)
