To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
If we hold up sla- very to the view of an impartial public as it is, and if such view creates astonishment and indignation, surely we are not to be charged as libel- lers. A State institution ought to be considered the pride, not the shame of the State ; and, if we falsify such institutions, the disgrace is ours, not theirs. If slavery, however, is a blemish, a blot, an eating cancer in the body politic, it is not our fault if, by holding it up, others should see in the mirror of truth its defo...rmity, and shrink back from the view. We have not, and we intend not, to use any weapons against slavery but the moral power of truth and the force o£public opinion. If we enter the slave States and tamper with the slave contrary to law, punish us, we deserve it ; and if the slaveholder is found in a free State, and is guilty of a breach of the law there, he also ought to be punished. These petitioners, as far as I understand them, disclaim all right to enter a slave State for the purpose of intercourse with the slave.
