To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

I answer, their institutions have been destroyed.
The same may be said of Italy. Where is Rome, once the mistress of the world ? There are the same seven hills now, the same soil, the same natural resources; nature is the same, but what a ruin of human greatncr^s meets the eye of the traveller throughout the length and breadth of that most down-trodden land! AVliy have not the people of that Heaven-favored clime the spirit that animated their fathers? Why this sad difference? It is the destruct
...ion of her institutions that has caused it ; and my countrymen, if we shall in an evil hour rashly pull down and destroy those institutions which the patriotic band of our fathers labored so long and so hard to build up, end which have done so much for us and the world, who can venture the prediction that similar results will not ensue? Let us avoid it if we can, I trust the spirit is among us that will enable us to do it. Let us not rashly try the experiment, for, if it fails, as it did in Greece and Italy, and in the South American Eepublics, _and in every other place wherever liberty is once destroyed, it may never be restored to us again.
