More from Charles Sumner
It is clear that the only question of present practical interest arises from the usurpations of the Slave Power and the efforts to extend Slavery.
Rather would I arouse you to renewed and incessant exertion.
It is a cause which, though long kept in check throughout our country, as also in Europe, now confronts the people and their rulers, demanding to be heard.
This will be the FREEDOM POWER, whose single object will be to resist the SLAVE POWER.
