More from Charles Sumner
But so long as War exists as an Institution this terrible inconsistency must appear.
The devices of party can no longer stave it off.
Their existence is a disgrace to civilization; for it implies the common consent of nations to the Arbitrament of War, as regulated by these laws.
Let loyalty to one man be exchanged for Love to Man.
