More from Charles Sumner
It applies an arrogant and unrelenting ostracism to all who express themselves against Slavery.
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.
Let loyalty to one man be exchanged for Love to Man.
