To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
To that doctrine I still adhere, but sup- port the President's emancipation policy now, because it is the most efficient, if not the only means of saving and per- petuating the Union. I opposed eman- cipation when it was unconstitutional as & peace measure, and because I knew it would cause civil war, invite foreign intervention, and endanger tho Union. I support emancipation now, because it is constitutional, greatly diminishes the danger of foreign intervention, and in- sures the maintenance ...and perpetui- ty of the Union. I supported Judge Douglas and opposed the election of Mr. Lincoln in I860, because I believed it would imperil the Union. While always denying that his election would justify disunion, I feared that the rebel- lion would be the result. In voting against Mr. Lincoln in 1860, I did so to save the Union from peril. In voting for him now, it is to suppress the re- bellion and maintain the Union. It is not for Mr. Lincoln as a man (however worthy he may be), that I now vote — I vote for principles — I vote for the Union — and in supporting him, I vote for the best, if not the only means to maintain and perpetuate the Union.
