To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But the ten days' delay proved the vitality of Sumner's constitution ; and the next elec- tion saw the senatorial aspirations of the American party in Massachusetts buried with it. It is never quite possible to estimate beforehand the strength of sentiment, and Sumner's friend, Mr. Welling, becoming alarmed at what he heard of a secret movement to defeat Sumner on the ground that he was injured beyond recovery, wrote him beg- ging him for some personal action in the matter. To this he replied i...n a letter containing the following passage characteristic of many things in the man : Boston, 22 December, 1856. Just seven months since my disability. My dear Welling, — When chosen to my present place, I had never held office of any kind. I was brought forward against my often declared wishes, and during the long contest that ensued constantly refused to furnish any pledge or explanation, or to do anything even to the ex- tent of walking across my office, — determined that the office should absolutely and in every respect seek me, and that I would in no respect seek the office.
