More from Charles Sumner
Let us at all hazards prevent the extension of Slavery and the increase of the Slave Power.
It is larger than the entire profit of all the commerce and manufactures of the world.
They who strive after it, Ixion-like, embrace a cloud.
It is clear that the only question of present practical interest arises from the usurpations of the Slave Power and the efforts to extend Slavery.
