To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We should not let them go, because we have a constitutional right, and, I imagine, a moral obli- gation, to retain them. If so, we have evidently the right to use all the means which God and nature have placed in our power to force them to obey the laws and submit to the authority of the General Government. The Constitution necessarily embraces, among the powers conferred by the Constitution, full authority to effect that for which the Con- stitution was established. But the Constitution gives ...us no authority to consider Louisiana, or any other State, out of the Union, neither as a means by which the Constitution may be ultimately maintained, and the authority of the Gov- ernment restored over all the States, nor according to the literal construction of the instrument itself Louisiana is not out of the Union. Louisiana cannot, by any possible act of hiirs, separate herself from the General Government. The General Government cannot, by any act of the General Government, place Louisiana beyond the protection of, nor dissolve her connection with, the General Government.
