To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
First, Is such legislation, and the imposition of such conditions, necessary and expedient "? Passing for the present the necessity of legis- lation, let us look at the conditions necessary to be imposed, and the right to impose them. Lii dealing with this question let us look at it practically and in the light of facts, and not be carried away by paere theories and abstractions. The southern states seceded from the Union, in fact. They passed ordinances of secession, and organized a rebellion ...against the govern- ment, and maintained by civil war, a separate existence for over four years. During all this time, they were actually, as much out of the Union, as if never members of it. They made their own laws, and enforced them. Disregard- ed all laws made by the Union, and we could not, and did not, for four years compel obedi • ence to them. Now, 1 presume, it will not be denied by any one. That had a rebel appeared at Washington during the rebellion, and claimed a seat in the Senate, or in the House, as a representative from a constituency, at the time in arms, attempting to destroy the nation, the Senate or House in which his application was made, would have had a clear right to reject the claim.
