More from Charles Sumner
It is clear that the only question of present practical interest arises from the usurpations of the Slave Power and the efforts to extend Slavery.

Men are erring and mortal; principles are steadfast and immortal.
Nor should we be too impatient to witness the fulfilment of our aspirations.
