To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
They left us the inheritance of freemen; living in independent communities, the States united t'or the purposes which they thought would bless posterity. It is in the exercise of this reserved right as defined by Mr. Madison, as one to which ah the powers of government are subject, that the people of a Stale in convention have claimed to resume the functions which in like manner they had delegated to the Federal Gov- ernment. I pass from the argument of this question, which I have previously sa...id t did not intend to enter into at large, to ask, why is the right denied? It is part of the history of our times, it is part of the condition of the country, that the right is denied, because this conflict between sections, in which one was struggling for domination, the other for existence has been brought to the point where the dominant section insists thai it will hold the other for its purposes; where it claims that we shall not go in peace nor remain with our rights; and if the attempt be made to hold that position by force, we accept the wager of battle.
