To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
At the last session, a memorial, against the perpe- tuation of the cruel system, was presented to that body, by the people of the District themselves. This memorial was signed by about one thousand of the most respectable portion of the inhabitants, among whom were several of the Judges of the District Courts, and even some holders of slaves. Whatever may have been the doubts or scruples entertained by some of our citizens heretofore, respecting the propriety of urging this subject upon the att...ention of the National Legislature, we con- ceive that there is no longer cause for hesitation, since a very respectable number of the people of the District have them- selves raised their voice in its favour; and, as we have before stated, it is also believed that by far the greater number are favourably disposed towards it. That the discussion of this question may excite a lively in- terest, both in and out of Congress, and that whatever measures may be proposed, for promoting the object in view, will meet with violent opposition, from the advocates of Slavery, we are well aware.
