To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is not our object now to enquire whetlicr a law can be deemed valid, if il is contrary to the first principles of natural justice, con- trary to the inalienable rights of man, par- ticularly when these principles and rights are solemnly acknowledged by the sovereign will of the people as the supreme standard and test of the validity of any law. We only ask tiie people of the United States to consider what bearing thatclause in the con- stitution which authorizes slavery, has upon the Declara...tion of Independence. The words of the only article which is understood as securing the claims of the slate-owner (Art. IV. Sec. III. 3. ) are these : 'No person held to service or labor in one state under the laws thereof, escaping into another, shall, in con- sequence of any law or regulation therein, be discharged from such service or labor, but shall be delivered up on claim of the party to whom sucli service or labor may be due. ' Now it is evident that these words of tlic Constitution are not inconsistent with tlie acknowledgment of the inalienable rights of man, in the Declaration of Independence, if they are understood as having reference to sucii service or labor as may be due from one person to another, on any sufficient legal ground, except slavery.
