More from Charles Sumner
It applies an arrogant and unrelenting ostracism to all who express themselves against Slavery.
Let loyalty to one man be exchanged for Love to Man.
More precious far at that moment the consolation that he had labored for his fellow-men, and the joyous confidence that all his cares had helped the Progress of his race!
This will be the FREEDOM POWER, whose single object will be to resist the SLAVE POWER.
