More from Charles Sumner
This will be the FREEDOM POWER, whose single object will be to resist the SLAVE POWER.
Far above any flickering light or battle-lantern of party is the everlasting sun of Truth, in whose beams are the duties of men.
They who strive after it, Ixion-like, embrace a cloud.
The first is a heavenly sentiment, from God: the other is a device of this world.
