To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I have been heretofore often unjustly accused of ambition. Low, grovelling souls, who are utterly incapa- ble of eleva ing themselves to the higher and nobler duties of pure patriotism — beings who, forever keeping their own selfish aims in view, decide all public measures by their pre- sumed influence on their aggrandizement, judge me by the venal rule which they prescribe for themselves. I have given to the winds those false accusations, as I consign that which now impeaches my motives. Yes, ...I have ambition ; but it is the ambition of being the humble instrument, in the hands of Providence, to reconcile a divided people; once more to re- vive concord and harmony in a distracted laud — the pleas- ing ambition of contemplating the glorious spectacle of a free, united, prosperous, and fraternal people. " In considering, in one connection, the favorite measure of Mr. Clay's policy, and the prominent incidents growing out ot it, I have passed over, in the proper order of events, a most interesting part of his public life.
