More from Charles Sumner
Let us at all hazards prevent the extension of Slavery and the increase of the Slave Power.
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.
The first is a heavenly sentiment, from God: the other is a device of this world.
This will be the FREEDOM POWER, whose single object will be to resist the SLAVE POWER.
