Excerpt from The Works of Charles Sumner, Vol. 6
This speech, at the time of its delivery, was entitled in some quarters "Emancipation the Cure of the Rebellion," which certainly showed an appreciation of its meaning. In the pamphlet edition another title was adopted, argumentative in form, and intended to suggest the same conclusion, - "Union and Peace, how they shall he restored." It was made at the annual State Convention of the Republican party of Massachusetts.
