More from Charles Sumner
Controlled by such a code, employing such representatives, sustained by such agencies, animated by such Furies, and producing such fruits of tears and bitterness, it must be open to question.
Let us at all hazards prevent the extension of Slavery and the increase of the Slave Power.
They who strive after it, Ixion-like, embrace a cloud.
Let loyalty to one man be exchanged for Love to Man.
