To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
When the several colonies declared themselves free and independent States, and each adopted its own Constitution, it is clear that it had the sole control over the question of slavery within its limits. The Union of the States was formed by the establishment of a General Government, to which certain powers were given ; but the Federal Consti- tution expressly declared that "the powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, were reserved to th...e States respectively, or to the people. " This power over the institution of slavery in the several States not having been conferred by the Consti- tution upon the United States, nor prohibited to the States, was consequently reserved to them, and they alone can pro- vide for its abolition whenever they may deem it expedient and proper. Congress has no power over the subject of abo- lition. Yet it is not to be disguised that the avowed aboli- tionists in the free States, regardless of the sacred obliga- tions of the Constitution, are prepared to do everything in their power to abolish slavery in the several States where it exists.
