To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" The other party " did not agree that they should do no unlawful acts. On this theory, then, what right has South Carolina, by a disruption of the Union, to injure New Jersey and Delaware, Indiana and Missouri, California and Oregon, against whom she charges no grievance, because she does not approve of the acts of Maine, Michigan, and Massachusetts ? The former States cannot control the acts of the latter, nor those of Con- gress, and are not responsible for them. And so " the other party " w...ith whom South Carolina made her contract has not been guilty of the alleged breach of contract, and has the right to hold her to her bargain. This is a legitimate conclusion from the construction of the compact, as set forth by the learned doctors who study constitutional law with the Kentucky Reso- lutions for their text-book, and who attempt to justify their acts of insurrection and treason, in levying war upon the United States, on the ground that their States (through their instrumentality it might be added) have previously passed acts of secession.
