Enlarged Liberty.

When we hear white men uttering sentiments adverse to our ideas of nationality we, should do the same, and in this case there is no more excuse. The black republicans have no right to find fault with anybody for assailing our institutions, or the memory of our patriots. No one, in this respect, has exceeded them.

The Staten Islander relates the following:

"That Scoundrel Washington."—It has been reserved to this late day—to a black member of the Black "Republican" party—to the city of Boston, and to the propagators of a civil war to apply this epithet to the immortal Washington. One of the most distinguished citizens of Boston lately presided at a public meeting in Faneuil Hall, and listened tamely to reiterations of this epithet from the lips of a black philanthropist merely remarking to "the gentleman" that some allowance should be made for the antecedents and education of Washington, and something for the times in which he lived!!! Our fellow citizens will scarcely credit it, that language such as this was not only permitted, but applauded in Old Faneuil Hall. And it would be entirely unworthy of attention if it had not been countenanced by a political party which not only assails us by open war, but is at this moment organizing its efforts to obtain the control of the Government.
