To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
For this Eepublicans contend, and with this, so far as I know or believe, they will be content. And now, if they would listen — as I sup- pose they will not — I would address a few words to the southern people. I would say to them : You consider your- selves a reasonable and a just people ; and I consider that in the general qualities of reason and justice you are not inferior to any other people. Still, when you speak of us Eepubli- cans, you do so only to denounce us as reptiles, or, at the b...est, as no better than outlaws. You will grant a hearing to pirates or murderers, but nothing like it to " Black Eepublicans." In all your contentions with one another, each of you deems an unconditional condemnation of " Black Eepublicanism " as the first thing to be attended to. Indeed, such condemna- tion of us seems to be an indispensable pre- requisite — license, so to speak — among you to be admitted or permitted to speak at all. Now, can you, or not, be prevailed upon to pause and to consider whether this is quite just to us, or even to yourselves?
