To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In doing so I must needs use some facts which I have before used in public. No matter; they do not grow old, nor will they ever lose their point.
Tn a commercial Convention of delegates from eight Southern States, held at Vicksburg, in May, 1860, Mr. SpKATT, of South Carolina, in advocat- ing resolutions in favorof re-opening the African slave-trade, used these words : " It might be said that the slave-trade could not be legalized within the Union, and that to re-establish it the Union would ha...ve to be dis- solved. Let it be so. The men of the South HAVE HIGHER TRUSTS THAN TO PRESERVE THE UnION. " There was a day when such words would, even in Vicksburg, have called down a storm of indig- nation and reproach upon their utterer; but then and there they received the direct sanction of the body to which they were addressed, by its adop- tion of the resolutions referred to; thereby proclaiming defiance to the Constitution which prohibits that trade. Mr. Spratt was a represen- tative there of that "social aristocracy, " about which, less than a year later, he wrote a letter, that is probably the most vivid and truthful expo- sition of the spirit and aims of secessioH that exists.
