More from Charles Sumner
Let us at all hazards prevent the extension of Slavery and the increase of the Slave Power.
Above all, welcome to the united regenerated Democracy of the North, which spurns the mockery of a Republic, with professions of Freedom on the lips, while the chains of Slavery clank in the Capitol!
