To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" For, "Verily I say unto you, inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me. " In the former part of my letter, I have shown that slavery is an American and not a Southern institution, and that the North and South are leagued together politically in its sup- port. I have also shown, both by reference to facts, and from the testimony of distinguished men at the South, that the slave power could not sustain itself a single hour, without the aid and protection of the... general government, but must fall at once before the avenging arm of its outraged victims; and, consequently, that all who sustain the government in its pres- ent pro-slavery character, do thereby sustain the slave system, and should be held responsible for all the guilt and misery which it involves. But while the federal government, that is, the electors of the country, are the direct and visible agents on whose authority and fostering care slavery depends for support and perpetuity, there is in this case, as in most others of a like nature, "a power behind the throne greater than the throne itself;" for in a country like ours, civil government is of no force, any farther than it is sustained by popular senti- ment.
