More from Charles Sumner
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.
They who strive after it, Ixion-like, embrace a cloud.
They belong to a system so essentially irrational, that all the admitted virtues of many of its agents cannot save it from judgment.
It applies an arrogant and unrelenting ostracism to all who express themselves against Slavery.
