More from Charles Sumner
Men are erring and mortal; principles are steadfast and immortal.
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.
Let loyalty to one man be exchanged for Love to Man.
Let us at all hazards prevent the extension of Slavery and the increase of the Slave Power.
