More from Charles Sumner
Far above any flickering light or battle-lantern of party is the everlasting sun of Truth, in whose beams are the duties of men.
It applies an arrogant and unrelenting ostracism to all who express themselves against Slavery.
Nor should we be too impatient to witness the fulfilment of our aspirations.
Let us at all hazards prevent the extension of Slavery and the increase of the Slave Power.
