What reading level is Speech of Orris S Ferry of Connecticut Delivered in the House of Representati book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
To interfere by stealth and indirection between the master and slave ; to aid or encourage what are termed under- ground railroads, or other secret machinery, for the violation of those local rights, is a violation of my own obligations, and should be irowned upon by every loyal citizen. And by, it' possi- ble, still more solemn obligations, am I bound not to interfere with violence. There is no evil with which God, in his anger, has ever visited this earth, that will compare, in manifold hor- ...rors, with servile insurrection : and for that rea son, among others, do I pray that He, in His mercy, in His own good time and way, will re- move the evil of slavery from all our borders ; but the man who, in the full possession ot his mental faculties, goes into a slave State, with force and strong hand, to wrest the hondraau from his master, and persists in his effort to the sacrifice of human life — however unselfish his motives, however lofty his courage, however Christianlike his fortitude — is guilty or murder; and no one, not even the wife of his bosom or the child of his old age, can demand, upon any principle of human or divine justice, that the stern seutence with which the law visits that crime should not be executed.
