More from Charles Sumner
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.
Men are erring and mortal; principles are steadfast and immortal.
It applies an arrogant and unrelenting ostracism to all who express themselves against Slavery.
