To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Had the stern old hero who then occupied the Executive chair been permitted to "execute the laws," and execute the traitors, if need be, we should never again have heard a rebel- lious minority shouting " disunion !" " civil war !" " bloody devastation !" Sir, if these threats are to operate on legislation, we have no Government.
A factious and rebellious minority will rule us. A worse despotism could not be conceived. Terror would take the place of law. All history warns us to make no such con...cessions. It is the same mean system which was pursued by the Scottish Lowlanders, when the Highland Catarans descend- ed from their hills with their marauding clans, and swept off their flocks and herds. They paid them black-mail as " indemnity " for restoring the stolen property, and to purchase temporary forbearance. It. is the same system which for ages disgraced the Christian world, while they paid trib- ute to the Barbary Powers. The piratical Governments of Algiers and Tunis sent out Corsairs to plunder and take captive Christian men and women, to sell them into slavery.
