To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Its ideas and purposes must be clearly defined and well under- stood. It must have unquestioning faith in the truth, fitness, and necessity of its issues and ob- jects; for its first duty is to be, in respect to these, as perfect as it knows ; they should express its best thoughts and its profoundest convictions. A party careful to be right will be earnest, and earnestness is the hardest opponent that wrong and error can encounter. A mere opposition party is, of necessity, a failure; it rarely ...succeeds in carrying an election; and when it does, it inev- itably falls to pieces afterwards ; for without unity of purpose, or homogeneousness oi materiel, with nothing to keep it together but the " cohesive power of plunder," it quarrels about the spoils, and, by a poetic justice, finds its executioners in the causes of its apparent success. Shall we admit that a party which was brought into the world to oppose the slave power in its efforts to overthrow our republican institutions, to maintain the fundamental ideas of the Govern- ment, to resist an oligarchy, to stay the spread of Slavery, to restore the "action of the Government to the principles of Washington and Jefferson," is not strong enough and well-founded enough to succeed ?
