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.
In this contest, we may borrow from the ancient Greek, who, when his hands were cut off, fought with his stumps, and even with his teeth.
The first is a heavenly sentiment, from God: the other is a device of this world.
This will be the FREEDOM POWER, whose single object will be to resist the SLAVE POWER.
