More from Charles Sumner
It is a cause which, though long kept in check throughout our country, as also in Europe, now confronts the people and their rulers, demanding to be heard.
Men are erring and mortal; principles are steadfast and immortal.
Still further: every ship-of-war that floats costs more than a well-endowed college.
It is larger than the entire profit of all the commerce and manufactures of the world.
