To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

But this is a very different thing from acting contrary to and in violation of the laws of a Government which we still recognize, and to which we still profess to owe allegiance. Such irreverence for constituted authori- ties, such disobedience to civil law, is not innocent — nay, it is a crime, that will admit or no justifiation, nor even of imlUation, in this republican countr}', where the opinion of a majority, constitutionally expressed, makes law; and which law, if wrong, imwise or defecti...ve, may be declared inoperative and set aside by the Supreme Court — I say, resistance to such Government — a Government to which you still profess allegiance — wilful disobedience to such law, and the advocacy of such sentiments is not innocent, it is pernicious, because it leads directly to w^rong, to violence, to mobocracy, to anarchy, to blood-shed and to destruction.
