To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Democratic party — in its early days the friend of freedom and the rights of man — became ultimately the ally of the slave power and the embodiment of its interests, but held its discordant elements together until the Charleston convention, in 18G0. In the canvass of that year — running two candidates, neither of whom was for free- dom — the two factions struck against each other and were destroyed in the concussion. Since then we have known no National Demo- cratic party. The mission of th...e Republican party was ended when its work was accomplished. That work was to stay the progress of slavery and preserve the public domain to freedom. It never pretended to aim at more. But it made two splendid campaigns and died in its last triumph ! It struck one telling blow for freedom and against slavery; so the reminiscenses of its short and eventful career shall forever remain tender and interesting. The first achievement for freedom as against slavery, was upon the soil of my own State.
