To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The fear that their power is passing away seems to cumulate the promoters of this policy to cousum:oate it irremediably by the most precipitate anil despetate measures. There has been a persistent elfort to nullify all laws, State and Fede- ral, for the reclamation of fugitives. Firtt you forbid the military .-luthority to re- strain slaves, then th* military is made to exclude the civil jurir-diclion ot the sub- ject. Thus, wherever our furces move, involuntary servitude is at an end, whether ...it be in a hostile or a loyal district. To carry their points, by military power outside of the Constitution is the plain, indeed, the avowed intention of the abolitionists. At whose instance has a general officer lately disseminated far and wide his edict abolishing the institution of slavery in three States? I have here one of the handbills, transmitted from the spot, to one of my constituents, by a disgusted officer. Here we^ are told thut "slavery and martial law in a free country are altogether incompatible." Rarely have words so incompatible met in the same sentence.
