To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Slavery, which the fathers laid out of sight as an unholy thing, we drag from its decent conceal- ment, and, placing it upon the pediment of the Constitution, take mutual oaths that there it shall stand forever. In doing this, we overthrow that equality of the States of which -we have heard so much ; for we deny to a majority of the members of the Union even the capacity of suggesting amendments upon so sacred a subject. Sir, the Constitution of the United States needs no change in favor of- sl...avery. I will stand by it as it is; I will accord to every interest all its rights; and I am amazed that the very parties who have been loudest in their lip- devotion to the fundamental law, should be the very first to demand its radical alteration. The existence in the southern States of groundless fears, engendered by willful falsehood, is no reason for a change in the Consti- tution. Every precedent of change is dangerous; doubly dangerous when occurring in times of high political excitement, or amid the turmoil of civil commotion, or offered to appease the wrath of armed rebels against all government and all social order.
