To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The "crisis'' of Mr. Lincoln has come on us, and upon the whole country, by the fact of his election. It is for him, consequently, and for his political supporters, here and elsewhere, to affirm or to repudiate the doctrine which I have just elaborated. I implore you, Senators of the Republican part}', for your own sakes, for the sake of your wives and children, as well as mine, for the sake of our country, North and South, to unite with the Senator from Kentucky [Mr. Crittenden] in terms of ho...norable conciliation and settlement. I am no partisan ; I was once ; but, as you all know, my party is distracted, and I fear hopelessly destroyed. I ask you to give the people of the slaveholding States additional guaranties — such as they ought to have, under the Constitution of the United states, and such as it is eminently proper, in the circumstances, that you should propose, or, at least, should accept. Heretofore, under the administration of other Presidents, and of all other parties, Federal and Republican, Whig and Democratic, slavery in some of the States has never been thought so to divide our national house that it should, necessarily, either be abol- ished or extended.
