To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Weakness is not always contemptible. Nay, it is only so, when unsupported by moral strength. It is far more repu- table to be overcome in a struggle for the maintenance of rights, than to succumb solely from fear. The righteousness of our cause is an element of strength never to be lost sight of. It must be clear, whatever specula- tive notions any one may have as to the moral influence of slavery, that it is a fundamental institution of the Southern States, and that no Government on earth has ...the slightest right to meddle with it, either directly or indirectly. To attempt to 12 take away one's property because it consists in human beings, is as unrighteous an act as to rob him of any thing else. God, who, we conceive, has set a sacred guard around property, has been as careful, in his revealed code of guidance for human con- duct, to prevent depredations and injuries upon that species of property which consists in persons, as in that consisting in things. One may think it questionable to hold a particular kind of property ; but if it be legalized by the Constitution and laws, to deprive another of it illegally, is an iniquitous act, for which the disapprobation of God, and of all good men, may be expected.
