The Daily Dispatch: July 14, 1864., [Electronic resource], article 1 (search)
ubmission of the Yankee mind to all the behests of power is only equalled by the abjectness of the Chinese to their imperial master. A distinguished Chinese official said to M. Huc, "Our Emperor cannot know everything; yet he is the judge of everything, and no one dares to find fault with any of his actions. Our Emperor says, 'That is white;' and we prostrate ourselves and say, 'Yes, it is white.' He shows us afterwards the same object and says, 'That is black; ' and we prostrate ourselves again and answer, 'Yes, it is black.'" "But suppose you were to say that an object cannot be black and white at the same time? " "The Emperor would perhaps say to one who had that courage, 'You are right;#x0027; but, at the same time, would have him strangled or beheaded." We mean no disrespect to the Chinese by this parallel. Though in so many respects the "elder brother" of the Yankees, it may be said in their favor that they have never pretended to be either free or Christian.
