To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The attack on Fort Sumter has indeed "fired the Southern heart, " but it has also fired the Northern heart. From all the free states I can hear but one voice, and that is for the preservation of the Union. The pulpits are preaching war, and urging men to enlist, war speeches are heard in all public assemblages, soldiers are enlisting and drilling in all the towns and cities, and everywhere is manifested the willingness to make all necessary sacrifices for the main- tenance of the government. Th...e response of the Northern Governors to the call for troops is most hearty and enthusiastic. Gov. Andrew had two Regiments already organized and equipped in anticipa- tion of the call, and they are now on their way to Washing- ton; and all the other northern Governors are making the most earnest efforts to supply their quotas without a day's unnecessary delay, several asking the privilege of furnishing a larger number of troops than we had assigned to them. But the exceedingly unfavorable responses from the border slave states make me realize that the utmost wisdom and discretion will be needed to keep them from joining the secession movement.
