To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I will not compromise ! 1. I will not compromise, because I have no faith that any compromise we could make would stand one hour longer than it ministered to slavery. The people have not yet forgotten — and I trust they will not soon forget— the fate of the Missouri compromise. The treatment of Kansas, baptized in blood that she might be enslaved, is yet terribly fresh in their remembrance. We have had compromise after compromise, and each one was a finality. The perturbed spirit of slavery, we... were told, was finally put to rest by the ghostly incantation of compromise. But hardly had the shouts of exultation died away, before the black gladiator stalks again into the arena, demanding new compromises. What security, I ask, have we that any compromise we may make will be any better observed ? Put it into the Constitution, you say. But the Constitution has al- ways been just what slavery would make it ; and to-day it is openly, vauntingly violated by the men who demand further concession to slavery.
