More from Charles Sumner
This will be the FREEDOM POWER, whose single object will be to resist the SLAVE POWER.
It is larger than the entire profit of all the commerce and manufactures of the world.
Far above any flickering light or battle-lantern of party is the everlasting sun of Truth, in whose beams are the duties of men.
Let us at all hazards prevent the extension of Slavery and the increase of the Slave Power.
