More from Charles Sumner
Endeavor, for a moment, by comparison with other interests, to grapple with this sum.
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.
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 applies an arrogant and unrelenting ostracism to all who express themselves against Slavery.
