More from Charles Sumner
Far above any flickering light or battle-lantern of party is the everlasting sun of Truth, in whose beams are the duties of men.
Nor should we be too impatient to witness the fulfilment of our aspirations.
Men are erring and mortal; principles are steadfast and immortal.
The devices of party can no longer stave it off.
