To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It would be to 'justify the celebrated rescue in my own neighborliood — I mean the rescue of Jerry at Syracuse. It would be to jus- tify the bloody rescue at Christiana. For, not only is it true, that all men would be rescued from slavery, but it is also true, that very nearly all men would be rescued from 10 slavery, even at the expense of blood. I add, that for the Administration to justify on naked Bible ground the rescue of Koszta, would be, in elfect, to justify the deliverance of every sl...ave. Now, for, an Administration, that sold itself in advance to the Slave Power, and that is indebted for all its hopes and for its very being to that Power — for such an Administration to take the position of simple Bible truth, and thereby invite the subversion of all slavery, would be to practice the cruellest ingratitude. Such ingratitude could not fail to ez^asperate the Slave Power — that mighty and dominant Power, before which not only the Adminis- trations of the American People, but the American People themselves, fall down as abjectly as did Nebuchadnezzar's people before the imago, which he had set up.
