To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Let me call your attention for a few moments to the great question of self-govern- ment, as involved in the constitution and framework of our American republic. We have long boasted that our long-continued success, and general respect for, and obedi- ence to, the laws of our own making, under the United States government, has been a living proof of the capacity of the common people, in enlightened nations, to govern themselves, on democratic principles, without the aid of despots born to inheri...t the throne. It is vitally essential, however, to the existence of every democracy, or republic, that the minority should absolutely acquiesce in the decisions of the coHstitutional majority at the "ballot-box. If, therefore, in any republic, the minority succeed in reversing the decisions of the majority, by force, in defiance of the constitution, they by so doing destroy the constitution, overthrow the republic and its government, ttstablish military despotism in its stead, and the experiment of self-government in that republic is of course a failure.
