To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
If all this be sound constitutional law, it follows, necessarily, lhat, in the execution of the great trust that is upon him, with the solemn oath upon his soul, that he will preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution to the best of his ability, the President not only has a constitutional right, but it is his inexorable duty to suppress by suffi- ciently summary means, anything and everything, anywhere and everywhere, within the Union, which, directly or indirectly, adds strength to the reb...ellion. Tell me not that there is no rebellion in the loyal states. If any man in Pennsylvania or Massachusetts is guilty of any act which tends to aid the rebel arms, or to obstruct or impede the President in his work of crushing out the rebellion, that man is a part and parcel of the rebellion, as much so as is the soldier who carries a rebel musket in the field ; and it is as clearly the Pres- ident's duty to suppress him as it is to suppress those in arms. But the courts in the loyal states are open, it is urged, and there- fore, why not do all this through them ?
