Nor should we be too impatient to witness the fulfilment of our aspirations.
This will be the FREEDOM POWER, whose single object will be to resist the SLAVE POWER.
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.
