To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It was civil authority re^sting lawless violence. Where, then, was the imprudence ? Is the doctrine to be sus- tained here, that it is imprudent for men to aid magis- trates in executing the laws? Men are continually asking each other. Had Lovejoy a right to resist ? Sir, I protest against the question, instead of answering it. Lovejoy did not resist, in the sense they mean. He did not throw himself back on the natural right of self-defence. He did not cry anarchy, and let slip the dogs of civi...l war, careless of the horrors which would follow. Sir, as I understand this affair, it was not an individual protecting his property ; it was not one body of armed men resisting another, and making the streets of a peaceful city run blood with their contentions. It did not bring back the scenes in some old Italian cities, where family met family^ and faction met faction, and mutually trampled the laws under foot. No; the men in that house were regularly enrolled^ under the sanction of the Mayor.
