More from Charles Sumner
Far above any flickering light or battle-lantern of party is the everlasting sun of Truth, in whose beams are the duties of men.
Let us at all hazards prevent the extension of Slavery and the increase of the Slave Power.
Rather would I arouse you to renewed and incessant exertion.
This will be the FREEDOM POWER, whose single object will be to resist the SLAVE POWER.
