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.
Nor should we be too impatient to witness the fulfilment of our aspirations.
The first is a heavenly sentiment, from God: the other is a device of this world.
This will be the FREEDOM POWER, whose single object will be to resist the SLAVE POWER.
