More from Charles Sumner
It applies an arrogant and unrelenting ostracism to all who express themselves against Slavery.
Tendencies of nations, as revealed in history, teach that our aims are in harmony with prevailing laws, which God, in his benevolence, has ordained for mankind.
Men are erring and mortal; principles are steadfast and immortal.
Let us at all hazards prevent the extension of Slavery and the increase of the Slave Power.
