Excerpt from Charles Sumner, Vol. 7: His Complete Works
But I do not agree that the National Government has power under the Constitution to touch Slavery in the States, any more than it has power to touch the twin Barbarism of Polygamy in the States, while fully endowed to arrest and suppress both in all the Terri tories. Therefore I do not join in your special efforts.
