To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The contrary of this doctrine is monstrous: it would be to make man with all his rights of life and liberty and happiness, subordinate to the workmansliip of his own hands — to the \evy commodity, the very property by which he intended to aid and accommodate his person. No government will do this — no government can do it. Constituted to protect property only as it answers the uses of persons, a govern- ment cannot protect it to the extent of bringing those persons into danger. But, sir, the da...nger from an unchecked accumulation of our slaves is, on all hands, acknowledged. Then may that danger, and in the very way in which it arises, be justly prevented. There is IG no sacredncss irf this property which is equal to the sacredness of per- sonal security — no right in it which must not yield when its continu- ance would subject that security to ha/ard. The tenure of it is for good — not for evil — for the general benefit of society, not for its en- dangering or its calamity. No one disguises the danger of this propert}' — that it is inevitable or that it is increasing.
