Again I repeat, so long as the War System prevails under the sanction of International Law, these painful incongruities will be apparent.
Let us at all hazards prevent the extension of Slavery and the increase of the Slave Power.
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.
They are but leaders of the two contending factions into which the Slave Power is divided.
