To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
S are past and gone when Mr. Douglas led the fiery assaults of the opposition in the Lecompton controversy. Then it was his object to prove that a Territorial Legislature, so far from being omnipotent, was powerless even to authorize an election of delegates to consider about their own afi'airs. It was asserted that a convention chosen under a Territorial law could make and ordain no constitution which would be legally binding.
16 Then a Territorial government was to be despised and spit upon, ...even when it invited the people to come forward and vote on a question of the most vital importance to their own interests. But now all things have become new. The Lecompton dispute has ^' gone glimmering down the dream of things that were, " and Mr. Douglas produces another issue, brand new from the mint. The old opinions are not worth a rush to his present position : it must be sustained by opposite principles and reasoning totally different. The l^egislature of Kansas was not sovereign when it authorized a convention of the people to assemble and decide what sort of a constitution they would have, but when it strikes at their rights of prop- erty, it becomes not only a sovereign, but a sovereign without limitation of power.
