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.
I agree with the Convention in the importance of the new organization; nor do I think there are many candid persons, recognizing morals as the soul of all true politics, who will hesitate in this conclusion.
Let us at all hazards prevent the extension of Slavery and the increase of the Slave Power.
