To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
* Const. , Art. Iv. , sect, ii. , clause 1. -j- Matthew, ch. 25. FACTS IN ILLUSTRATION". 31 And this, too, comes from the dogma that the Federal Govern- ment may tolerate slaveholding. It is absurd to expect or to demand its neutrality^ which is as impossible as the neutrality of the individual citizen ; nay, more so, for the Government is constantly compelled to act, one way or the other, treating slavery either as legal or as illegal, protecting it, or refusing it protec- tion. The national t...olerance of slavery becomes, of necessity, the national protection of slavery. If it is not to be treated as criminal, it is to be treated as innocent. And innocency is to be protected by government, of conrse. If slaveholding is not a crime to be suppressed, it is a natural right, as it is now claimed to be. And it is the business of government to pro- tect natural rights. * The infamous Fugitive Slave Bill is a reproduction, on the soil of Massachusetts. New-York, and Ohio, of the most dia- bolical features of the slave code, and that, too, under the Federal authority.
