More from Charles Sumner
Let loyalty to one man be exchanged for Love to Man.
Men are erring and mortal; principles are steadfast and immortal.
Let us at all hazards prevent the extension of Slavery and the increase of the Slave Power.
The most distant are not without a present influence on our daily lives.
