To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Greeley's only provocation for such bitterness of spirit and imperious bearing was in the simple fact that the republicans of Illinois preferred Abraham Lincoln to Stephen A. Douglas as their United States senator. What a contrast between the spirit revealed by that letter and the heart of Abraham Lincoln as disclosed in the follow- ing portions of a letter written by him in the very heat of that terrific struggle with Mr. Douglas: Springfield, June ist, 1858. I have never said nor thought more..., as to the inclination of some of our eastern republican friends to favor Douglas, than I expressed in your hearing on the evening of the 21st of April, at the State Library in this place. I have believed — do believe now — that Greeley, for instance, would be rather pleased to see Douglas re-elected over me or any other repub- lican; and yet I do not believe it is so because of any secret arrangement with Douglas; it is because he thinks Douglas's superior position, reputation, experience, and ability, if you please, would more than compensate for his lack of a pure republican position, and therefore his re-election do the gen- eral cause of republicanism more good than would the election of any one of our better undistinguished pure republicans.
