More from Charles Sumner
Nor should we be too impatient to witness the fulfilment of our aspirations.
The devices of party can no longer stave it off.
Tendencies of nations, as revealed in history, teach that our aims are in harmony with prevailing laws, which God, in his benevolence, has ordained for mankind.
Let loyalty to one man be exchanged for Love to Man.
