More from Charles Sumner
Let us at all hazards prevent the extension of Slavery and the increase of the Slave Power.
The devices of party can no longer stave it off.
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.
Nor should we be too impatient to witness the fulfilment of our aspirations.
