We supply the ships; we supply the arms, the munitions of war; we give aid and comfort to this foulest of all crimes.

More from Charles Sumner
It applies an arrogant and unrelenting ostracism to all who express themselves against Slavery.
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.
Let us at all hazards prevent the extension of Slavery and the increase of the Slave Power.
They who strive after it, Ixion-like, embrace a cloud.
