To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Has it arrived at this amongst us, that it is really of no further use to work the problem whether Liberty and Union, in their widest extension, may not dwell together between these oceans? But, while this act of Congress is not a text from which to preach the overthrow of our government, it has its fitting uses. It may and should open the eyes of men to a clearer compre- hension of the true nature of the institution which has be- gotten it. It furnishes a new and powerful argument, by which to... press in a firm yet temperate spirit, the abrogation as speedily as possible, of that whole system. Particularly should its offensive presence evoke an overwhelming demand for its revocation, and pledge every voter among us to the absolutely indispensable work of freeing our ballot-boxes, and our caucus-rooms of the names of men, as candidates for our legislators, who will either concoct or vote for such op- pressive laws, or absent themselves from their posts while others do it for them. If more of painstaking were expended in making honest and true men rulers, we should have far less of indignation to exhaust upon laws which set backward the progress of Christian reform.
