To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He was but the kind and considerate servant of the Consitutional majority of our citizens, whose province it is, by the very genius of our institutions to rule. In enforcing law too, under such circumstances, he was but obeying a Divine behest. Has not Abraham Lixcoln fallen, therefore, an innocent victim to his fidelity to both human and Divine law? The baseness, moreover, of this causeless act is enhanced by its manifest uselessness. Had it been possible, by striking down the innocent and fai...thful servant of the people, to strike down with him the people's cause, the case would be different. But surely none knew better than the insurgents themselves, that the death of Abraham Lincoln could not be, and would not be, the nation's death. In some forms of monarchical government tlie assassina- tion of the nation's head would almost necessarily be fol- lowed by revolution and the introduction of a new order of things. But, thank God, not so here. The nation loved, loves now, and ever will love the memory of Abraham Lincoln ; but none can be better aware than rebels them- selves, tliat the American nation depends for its life and 6 continuance upon no one man.
