More from Charles Sumner
The devices of party can no longer stave it off.
Their existence is a disgrace to civilization; for it implies the common consent of nations to the Arbitrament of War, as regulated by these laws.
Controlled by such a code, employing such representatives, sustained by such agencies, animated by such Furies, and producing such fruits of tears and bitterness, it must be open to question.
But so long as War exists as an Institution this terrible inconsistency must appear.
