To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
President, in these excited times it is very difficult to gel a calm and quiet consideration of any- thing connected with this subject. My attention is almost daily arrested by misrejiresentations with regard to legal enactments subsisting in the Southern States of this Union, and with i>egard to the mo- tives which have dictated these enactments. It would seem as if men were so carried away by the impulses ffrowing out of this a2;itating subject, that they lose all charitable consideration for... the mo- tives of others, and are ever prompt to suppose ihat whatever is done is done for a wrong end, or under a wrong impulse. Now, I deem it proper, though at other times such matters would not be worthy of any consideration, to notice one or two misrepresentations with regard to my own State, of whose laws I happen to know somethins:, as well as of the habits and character of her inhabitants. I do this, because every thing which impresses upon the general mind of our Northern fellow-citizens that we are a heartless, exacting, unjust, merciless race of people, has a most unhappy effect upon their dispo- sition and feelings towards iis, and induces expressions from them towards us which react upon our minds; and thus is continually fomenting and increasing those sources of disquiet and alienation, which every patriot must regret, and should desire to remove.
