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.
It applies an arrogant and unrelenting ostracism to all who express themselves against Slavery.
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.
Nor should we be too impatient to witness the fulfilment of our aspirations.
