To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The now Congressional plan as contra distinguished from that of Presidents Lincoln and Johnson, for their plans are identical, practically deals with the Southern States as territories. Between the two plans you and the country are to choose. The Presidential plan, had it prevailed when first announced, would long since have restored the Union and thereby have brought peace, prosperity and happiness to our now distracted land. The Congressional plan has unwisely, and as I think, unconstitutiona...lly delayed these happy results, and promises to delay them indefinitely. It rests upon the doctrine that the rank of the States of the South is lost, and the infe- rior one (if rank it can be called) of territories acquired not by treaty but by conquest and subjugation, has taken its place. And that this condition is to continue until Congress shall de- cide when and on what terms it is to be changed, and that they are to make this decision not by a legislative act requiring the approval of the President necessary to the validity to all their other acts and Joint resolutions, but by a concurrent resolve.
