More from Charles Sumner
It applies an arrogant and unrelenting ostracism to all who express themselves against Slavery.
The subterfuges of the politician cannot escape it.
Controlled by such a code, employing such representatives, sustained by such agencies, animated by such Furies, and producing such fruits of tears and bitterness, it must be open to question.
Men are erring and mortal; principles are steadfast and immortal.
