To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
. . . Now my opinion is, that the different States have the power to make a negro a citizen under the Con- stitution of the United States, if they choose. The Dred Scott decision decides that they have not that power. If the State of Illinois had that power, I should be opposed to the exercise of it. That is all I have to say about it. Judge Douglas has told me that he heard my speeches north and my speeches south, . . . and there was a very different cast of sentiment in the speeches made at t...he different points. I will not charge upon Judge Douglas Abraham Lincoln, 1832 — 1865 121 that he wilfully misrepresents me, but I call upon every fair-minded man to take these speeches and read them, and I dare him to point out any difference between my speeches north and south. While I am here, perhaps I ought to say a word, if I have the time, in regard to the latter portion of the Judge's speech, which was a sort of declamation in reference to my having said that I enter- tained the belief that this government would not endure, half slave and half free.
