To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Another restraint upon licentiousness is that a man may pul)Iish and speak what he pleases with a knowledge that he is amenable to the tribunals of the law for what he has done. Congress cannot pass any statute to say that men shall not write against religion, or against the Government, or against individuals. Neither can Congress pass a hw, nor can any Slate pass a law depriving the tribunals of the country of the right of saying whether you have gone beyond the limits of liberty, and nave use...d your power, under that name, with criminal recklessness, with a licentious indiffer- ence to the feelings of individuals and the conse- quences upon society. 1 do not wish lo live in any community where it is otherwise. The press is losing its power, and it ought to lose it; for it is now beginning to be an engine of private revenge, and individual expression, instead of being a responsible organ of nublie opinion. Suppose I were to go to New York, and indict one of the editors there whom I could name, for the most atrocious libel that has ever been uttered upon the South.
