To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This noble and unselfish sentiment was well calculated, if not perverted, to perpetuate the Union in all its original purity. It was a sensitive popular standard, by which every public man and public measure might have been judged, and approved or condemned, as they really tended to advance or to protect the objects for which it was formed. If the public men who had obcained the con- fidence of the people and the lead in public affaiis had been true to them, the glorious stars which exist in th...e sky of the Union would have been moving, at this day, harmoniously in their several spheres. But it is a fact which truth requires should be uttered, and which will be written in letters of living light whenever the history of this Union shall be impartially written, that the public men of the South, with but few exceptions, have not, in this particular, been true, either to the people, to the States, or to the Union; and the cause will be found in that all- absorbing devotion which they have rendered to party schemes.
