He is their brother delivered by a new birth from the dark-wombed Atlantic ship that ushers him into existence in the new world; he stands by his own election among the children of the household; and narrow and unwise is that species of public spirit which, in the perverted name of patriotism, would refuse him all he asks.
Il est leur frère, né des entrailles sombres d’un navire d’outre-Atlantique qui lui redonne vie dans un monde nouveau; il devient, par son propre choix, un membre de la famille, et les gens de bien qui, au nom d’un patriotisme perverti, lui refuseraient tout ce qu’il demande seraient des esprits étroits et malavisés.
