To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I sup- pose the humblest mind can comprehend the constitutional status and legal consequences of rebellion. Rebellion is simply treason against the government of the LTnion. Treason is an offence defined by the Constitution, and like all other offences against the government, can be punished only by indictm.ent and trial in the civil courts, and belbre a jury of the State or district in r'\iich the crime is committed. Such IS the letter of the Constitution. Treason can- not be the offence of a ...State or political society.
You cannot indict a State. You cannot im- prison, banish, or hang it, or subject it to any- conceivable punishment or forfeiture. I appeal to the bar of this country, I appeal to Republi- can lawyers and jurists, to say if I am not riglit.
Take, for illustration, even the consolidat- ed government of a single State. If a large number, a majority, or even all, of the inhab- itants of a county should rebel against the State government, each individual would be guilty of treason, and subject to trial by jury for his crime, nor could be punished in any other manner.
