More from Charles Sumner
Nor should we be too impatient to witness the fulfilment of our aspirations.
More precious far at that moment the consolation that he had labored for his fellow-men, and the joyous confidence that all his cares had helped the Progress of his race!

This will be the FREEDOM POWER, whose single object will be to resist the SLAVE POWER.
