More from Charles Sumner
I agree with the Convention in the importance of the new organization; nor do I think there are many candid persons, recognizing morals as the soul of all true politics, who will hesitate in this conclusion.
They belong to a system so essentially irrational, that all the admitted virtues of many of its agents cannot save it from judgment.
