To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The fatal decree has gone ^ forth that the ^Soiith is forever exchided from the Territories. How niuoh t)ie '^ South k')ses or the North gains — whether it is a practical or an abstract grievance, are themes past discussion ; I will only affirm of it that it is the overthrow of the Constitution by the mere arbitrary will of the majority. If the majority will signalize its control of the government by aggression, the minority will not suffer the usurpation to become a precedent by submission. Th...e fundamental idea of the Constitution is the equality of the States and the equal rights of the citizens thereof, one with the other, in the Union and in all its possessions, privileges, and advantages. When this principle no longer controls the government, revo- lution has already done its work. And it is then a question for each State to decide for itself, in view of all its obligations to civilization and to the opinion ot mankind, whether it will linger in the Union and endeavor to restore the equili- brium, or whether its interests will be better promoted out of the Union.
