More from Charles Sumner
This will be the FREEDOM POWER, whose single object will be to resist the SLAVE POWER.
It is larger than the entire profit of all the commerce and manufactures of the world.
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.
The devices of party can no longer stave it off.
