To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
and did he purposely conceal the secret of this law in his own breast, when by revealing it, he might have stilled the raging billows of popular passion which threatened to engulf the Union > lo suppose all this, would be to impute to Mr. AVebster a degree of trickery and turpitude rarely paralleled, even among politicians. Hence we are bound to assume, that the law of nature, on which he ?iow relies, is a recent dis^ covery, subsequent at least to the 10th August 1848 It is, however, extraordi...nary that a gentleman of his acquirements did not sooner become acquainted with this LAW OF PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY, — THE EAW OF THK FORMATION OF THE EAllTH, THAT SETTLES FOR EVEK BEYOND ALL TERMS OF HUMAN ENACTMENT, THAT SLAVERY CANNOT EXIST IN CALIFORNIA OR NeW MEXICO It IS to be regretted that Mr. Webster did not condescend to demonstrate the existence of this law and to explain the mode of its operation. He indeed tells us that our new territories are "Asiatic in their formation and scenery ; ' but this fact does not prove his law, since slavery has existed for ages amid the scenery of Asia • it exists in the deserts of Africa, has existed in every coun- try of Europe, and now exists in the frozen regions of Russia.
