To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
While it does not propose to revive the African slave-trade, nor to pass a slave-code, nor to make a second Dred Scott decision, it is preparing us for the onslaught and charge of these ultimate enemies when they shall be ready to come on, and the word of command for them to advance shall be given. I say this Douglas popular sovereignty — for there is a broad dis- tinction, as I now understand it, between that article and a genuine popular sovereignty. I believe there is a genuine popular sover...eignty. I think a definition of genuine popular sovereignty in the abstract would be about this : that each man shall do pre- cisely as he pleases with himself, and with all those things which exclusively concern him. Applied to governments, this principle would be, that a general government shall do all those things which pertain to it ; and all the local governments shall do precisely as they please in respect to those matters which exclusively concern them. I understand that this government of the United States under which we live, is based upon this principle ; and I am misunderstood if it is supposed that I have any war to make upon that principle.
