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

If you repudiate the doctrine of non-intervention and the righ'ts of the people, residents or squatters, and force a slave-code by act of Congress on an unwilling people, the days of your power are numbered, and more, you are not Democrats, and must step off the Democratic platform." This declaration was clear and distinct. Still there were men and newspapers all over the South, including those of the border and a few malicious ones in the free States, that constantly maligned Douglas with the ...charge that he was yielding and pandering to the pro-slavery leaders for the Presidential nomination.
'Not long afterward he wrote a friend, authorizing the statement, or, rather, a re-statement of his position, for pub- lication, if it was desired, writing, at length, that, if the Democracy adhered to its former principles, his friends might support him for the nomination; on the contrary, "If it shall become 'the policy -of the Democratic party to abandon or repudiate their 'time-honored principles, on which we had received so many patriotic triumphs, and, in lieu of these, the Convention shall interpolate into the creed of ijhe party sudh new issues as the revival of the African slave-itrade, or a Congressional slave-code for the Territories, or the doc- trine tlha't the Oonstitu'tion of the United States either es- tablislies or proOiibits slavery in the Territories, beyond the power of the people legally to control it as other property, it is due to candor to say that, in such an event, I could not accept the nomination if it were tendered to me." In 'this mem'orable contest with the Southern leaders, who had then become actual conspirators against their coun- try, there is no doubt 'thiat th^ scheme and plan of secession and the creation of a slave empire had long been in the minds of Davis and Calhoun and his followers, and many others.
