More from Charles Sumner
Above all, welcome to the united regenerated Democracy of the North, which spurns the mockery of a Republic, with professions of Freedom on the lips, while the chains of Slavery clank in the Capitol!

Men are erring and mortal; principles are steadfast and immortal.
It applies an arrogant and unrelenting ostracism to all who express themselves against Slavery.
