To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" I cannot forget that Massachusetts has set herself in nullifying opposition to the gene- ral government. And when I am told that the freemen of Massachusetts are going to Kansas to make her free also, it indeed appears to me that they had better first learn what it is to be free at home. I ask you, Democrats of Massachusetts, if it would tempt you to go to Kansas to be told that you would find the same political spirit prevailing there, which you find here at home. The picture presented by ou...r own statute book is enough to appal the stoutest heart which beats with true love of freedom. It is here on our own soil, where the peculiar " friends of freedom" shriek thcloudest for their cause, that wc find ourselves oppressed by a law more restrictive, more dicta- torial, more unconstitutional, more unjust, more anti-democratic, than any law however obnoxious which disgraces the statute-book of Kansas — a law which ignores all sense of morality and freedom in the community, which opens the doors of our jails and houses of correction to close them again upon the simplest acts of kindness and charity, and places the exercise of free rights and liberality on a level with felony and crime.
