In reaching across the sea as far as distant Turkey, to plead for the freedom of the fugitive Kossuth, our Republic has done well; and the Mahometan Sultan, in consenting to his liberation, at extraordinary hazards, has taught a lesson of magnanimity to Christian nations.
Sumner praises the United States for advocating for Kossuth's freedom and highlights the Sultan's act of magnanimity.

More from Charles Sumner
It is larger than the entire profit of all the commerce and manufactures of the world.
Out of this pernicious prejudice have proceeded that persecution and neglect which are the too frequent lot of the world's pioneers.
Far above any flickering light or battle-lantern of party is the everlasting sun of Truth, in whose beams are the duties of men.
The most distant are not without a present influence on our daily lives.
