To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Missouri compromise is without legal effi- cacy, but is shorn of none of its moral power. It • has its place in history and its hold on the public heart. It is felt not to be lost, but only banished. * It will be regarded the more because it has seemed to be in hazard. Its restoration will be hailed a* the augury of permanent peace. It will kindle illuminations, and fill the land with gladness, and the whole nation will go forth to greet it, as old Athens at the crisis of her fate, when the... barbaric host cast its shadow over all her seas and plains, poured out from all her gates to bring home the banished Aristides. This is needful for two reasons — in justice to the injured North, to rebuke her betrayers, who, false to representative duty, and for purposes of personal aggrandizement, made commerce of the national honor and happiness; but, for the greater reason of reassuring good faith and generous compromise, as the only means of lasting har- mony. Such is republicanism to-day.
