More from Charles Sumner
More precious far at that moment the consolation that he had labored for his fellow-men, and the joyous confidence that all his cares had helped the Progress of his race!
Let us at all hazards prevent the extension of Slavery and the increase of the Slave Power.
Confessing the Fatherhood of God, and the consequent Brotherhood of Man, we find a divine standard of unquestionable accuracy.
Let loyalty to one man be exchanged for Love to Man.
