To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We are told by distinguished statesmen that this is the issue before us. A portion of the South- ern States of the Confederacy declare that they are about to with- draw from the Republic. " Let them go, " say some ; " we can do better, or as well, without them. " " Compel them to stay at the point of the bayonet, " say others ; " they have no right to withdraw. " And thus it does look as if our national compact was to be broken up, the Union annihilated, the Constitution torn to pieces and tram...pled in the dust. Toward this the Republic has been manifestly drifting for these many years. Can the fearful catastrophe be averted? What is the cause or causes of the present threatening move- ments in the country ? I have told you what the immediate occasion of them is : the election of a President and Vice-President, both of them living in the North, and by a vote of the non-slaveholding states exclusively. But this is not the cause; such an event of itself is unimportant, and totally inadequate to account for the conduct of those statesmen who are precipitating the country upon Revolu- tion.
