To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It has carried them so far that they are perfectly reckless, and have already under the excitement it produced, violated three principles of the government, that should be ever regarded as sacred to liberty, and are so regarded even in England. They have refused to receive petitions, and thus denied the sacred and long established right of petitioning that is coeval with English liberty. They have opened and look- ed into the mail, and do allow any one of the twen- ty thousand post officers to ...do it, under pretence of throwing out and burning all abolition matter, thus violating the ever to be regarded secrecy and invio- lability of this great medium of intercommunica- tion, and corrupting the very fountain of confidence. They have violated the sacredness of the trial by jury, which is a fast foundation and long cherished aid of justice. If the title to a cow, a horse, or a chattel is questioned, a trial by jury is necessary to reclaim it and establish the right; but a slave, a hu- man being, a living soul, may be seized any where by the brief and petty order of a justice of the peace, or constable, or the owner, and dragged off to ever- lasting slavery and ignominy, without any interven- tion of a jury, or the form of a regular trial through the courts.
