To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It was just what Thomas Jeff erson meant when he said of slavery : " I fear for the future of my nation, when I remember that God is just. " The sword had drawn its retributive blood in almost every household in the land ; in the households of the great compromisers with slavery, as well as of the great slaveholders. Col. Fletcher Webster, slain on one of the battle-fields of Virginia, had been borne back and laid beside the dust of the greatest statesman of the land, at Marshfield. This was Go...d's answer to the ridicule of His higher law, of which Mr. Webster had been guilty when he spoke of it at Capon Springs as a law higher than the Blue Ridge — higher than the flight of the eagle. This was God's re- C> THE VOICE OF THE INNOCKNT BLOOD.
turn to the home of New England's greatest one, of what he in his majesty had done for the entrenchment of slavery; unwit- tingly, honestly done, I still believe.
But this was not enough. There was a man, the highest of us all; a great-hearted, tender-eyed, patient, suffering one; a man who had come to his work sadly, tremblingly, prayerfully ; who had said on his way here to the capital, that if going forward in the cause of freedom required the shedding of his own heart's blood, he was ready for it ; there was a man whom the nation had been taught to trust and love and revere as its Chief Execu- tive ; it pleased God to take him also, his great work consum- mated, the sword of the rebellion surrendered ; to take him from the Pisgah height where he only saw the promised land ; to take him, the nation's twice chosen Head, in the very flush of our vic- tory, with the words of clemency on his lips ; to exact his heart's blood, and this was God's word of reply to the men — Northern men — who had put their Executive signature to such enactments as "the Fugitive Slave Bill" and "the Act repealing the Mis- souri Compromise, " though the hand of our dead President had been set to the Proclamation of Emancipation.
