More from Charles Sumner
Controlled by such a code, employing such representatives, sustained by such agencies, animated by such Furies, and producing such fruits of tears and bitterness, it must be open to question.
They belong to a system so essentially irrational, that all the admitted virtues of many of its agents cannot save it from judgment.
