To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
If these remarks be just, nothing ought to excite greater indignation and alarm, than the attempts, which have lately been made to destroy the freedom of the press. We have lived to hear the strange doctrine, that to expose the measures of rulers is treason ; and we have lived to see this doctrine car- ried into practice. We have seen a savage popu- lace excited and let loose on men, whose crime con- sisted in bearing testimony against the present war ; and let loose, not merely to waste their ...property* but to shed their blood, to tear them from the ref- uge which the magistrate had afforded, to slaughter them with every circumstance of cruelty and igno- miny. I do not intend to describe that night of hor- rors, to show to you citizens, who had fought the battles of their country, beaten to the earth, trod- den under foot, mangled, dishonoured ! What ought to alarm us even more than this dreadful scene is, the disposition which has been discovered to extenuate these atrocities, to speak of this bloody outrage as a mode of punishment, irregular indeed, yet mitigated by the guilt of those who presumed to 11 arraign their rulers.
