To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
All are free agents, and ought therefore to be treated as moral beings, and in no case as animal machines alone. All are im- mortal, to whom the present life is probation for another life soon to follow ; and are to be treated with honour, as called, by Divine invitation, to partake in the Christian hope of that better life to come. The same principles apply to the still higher duty of those who aspire to frame national constitutions, or to determine the fundamental laws and guiding maxims on w...hich the whole course and tone of national legislation is to depend. When great moral truths are forgotten, and politics degenerate into a mere strife of party, or a series of spasmodic efforts to combine discordant elements into momentary union, and thus to secure at any price the majorities on which power and influence depend, political life must suffer a rapid and sure decline. But I forbear to enter on a subject so wide, which suggests to thoughtful observers grave and anxious reflections on the future of our own country.
