More from Charles Sumner
This will be the FREEDOM POWER, whose single object will be to resist the SLAVE POWER.
Still further: every ship-of-war that floats costs more than a well-endowed college.
Far above any flickering light or battle-lantern of party is the everlasting sun of Truth, in whose beams are the duties of men.
It is clear that the only question of present practical interest arises from the usurpations of the Slave Power and the efforts to extend Slavery.
