More from Charles Sumner
Men are erring and mortal; principles are steadfast and immortal.
The devices of party can no longer stave it off.
It applies an arrogant and unrelenting ostracism to all who express themselves against Slavery.
Let us at all hazards prevent the extension of Slavery and the increase of the Slave Power.
