To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Formerly, compromises were made between the two con- flicting systems of labor, by separating them by geographical lines. These compromises did, indeed, produce intervals of comparative repoee, but the war commenced again, with renewed acrimony, as soon as a new bone of contention presented itself. The system of compromises as a whole proved a failure. Mr. Douglas's doctrine of popular sovereignty proposed to bring the two antagonistic elements into immediate con- tact, and to let them struggle... hand to hand for the supremacy on the same ground. In this manner, he predicted the slavery question would settle itself in the smooth way of ordinary business. He seemed to be confident of success; but hardly is his doctrine, in the shape of a law for the organization of Territories, put upon the statute book, when the struggle grows fiercer than ever, and the difficulties ripen into a crisis. This does not disturb him. He sends forth manifesto upon manifesto, and even during the State campaign of last fall, he mounts the rostrum in Ohio, in order to show what he can do; and, like a second Constantine, he points his finger •oso 8CHURS at the great principle of popular sovereignly, and says to hia followers : " In this sign you will conquer." But the tendency of events appeared unwilling to yield to his prophecy.
