To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It was not a slave insurrection. It was an attempt by white men to get up a revolt among slaves, in which the slaves refused to participate. In fact, it was so absurd that the slaves, with all their ignorance, saw plainly enough it could not succeed. That affair, in its philosophy, cor- responds with the many attempts, related in history, at the assassination of kings and em- perors. An enthusiast broods over the oppres- sion of a people till he fancies himself com- missioned by Heaven to liber...ate them. He ventures the attempt, which ends in little else than his own execution. Orsini's attempt on Louis Napoleon, and John Brown's attempt at Harper's Ferry, were, in their philosophy, pre- cisely the same. The eagerness to cast blame on old England in the one case, and on New 60 Address at Cooper Institute England in the other, does not disprove the sameness of the two things. And how much would it avail you, if you could, by the use of John Brown, Helper's Book, and the like, break up the Republican organization ?
