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.
This will be the FREEDOM POWER, whose single object will be to resist the SLAVE POWER.
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.
Nor should we be too impatient to witness the fulfilment of our aspirations.
