To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
No legislative power in the land, Federal or State, could touch it. No temporary political as- cendancy, no fluctuation of parties, could endan- ger it. The State constitution could be changed only through slow processes, imposing delays, in- suring deliberation, and generally requiring sev- eral submissions to a vote of the people. To effect a change throughout the Union would requira that these processes be carried through in each State separately. But once abdicate this rightful authority of... the people of the several States, acting in their organic capacity ; once al- low Congress to usurp jurisdiction over the si'ffrage of the people of the States ; once admit that this fundamental right may be changed by a mere enactment of Congress, without submis- sion to a vote of the people, and no man in any State can tell how soon his vote may be rendered worthless, or how soon it may be taken from him. Mr. SuiiNEU avows that his object is to control the next Presidential election. Adopt his theory ; establish tJie precedent; accustom the people to acquiesce in the usurpiatiou, and you wdl have a congressional majority changing the suffrage whenever it may be a convenient means of keep- ing themselves in power.
