To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In its various relations to agriculture and manufactories, it would occasion incalculable injury. And to those who do not dream of universal peace and perfection I add, that it would drive from us a class of expert artists, and annihilate a body of sixty thousand enterprising sailors, whose services might here after be required in vain by the pressing emergencies of war. Other nations have striven to multiply the sources of external security, by giving to their artists at home a monopoly of thi...s valuable art. In violation of the rights of nature, they have en deavoured to enlarge this nursery for seamen by forcing its ex tension abroad, and shall America improvidently yield the ad vantages which Nature has given her? So much, fellow citizens, for the policy of this, the favourite measure of the enemies of our Navy. But it is moreover, im practicable on principles of union to surrender our navigation. That our population is extremely slender when compared with the immense extent of our whole territory, is true ; but it is not equally true when considered in reference to every part of the country by which it is actually supported.
