To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
As many of the peojde of those States as haye come within the j)royisions of the amnesty proclamation in good faith, and haye accepted of its terms, are yested with a capacity to take political rights, and thus to become the basis of a political insti- tution known as a State. But such haye only the capacity. The Goyernment of the United States, as the expt)nent of the national will, must determine when, upon what conditions, and with what restrictions, they shall be invested with the rights an...d prerogatives of national citizenship. Whether these rebellious States shall again be brought into the Union or not, clothed with the political power of sovereign States, is not a questicm of political right, but one of jiolitical statesmanship. It is certain that it will not be policy to consti- tute them a part of the national body, until they have within themselves some national life and spirit. To invest them with national powers before th(?y have a national ambition, a national pride and national love, would be in the highest degree .
