To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This idea is an admission of national rights independent of governments : but it confides them to the custody of the idea only. How far they have been ac- tually secured by hereditary power, in discharge of its sup- posed representative duties, depends upon a fact, to which all history testifies. Our policy, dissatisfied with an unfruitful intellectual acknowledgment of the theoretical truth of this doctrine, has sought for the means of making it practically useful. It does not rely upon the mo...st positive verbal renunciations of absolute power, or acknowledgments of national rights, without means in the hands of the nation, adequate to their enforcement. Here the attention of the reader is requested. We be- lieve that one mode only of limiting the power of govern- ments, and securing the rights of nations, within the reach of human nature, exists. To this, our policy, and no other, has resorted. Its abandonment, would be a surrender of the doctrine, and the erection of a despotism, however the government is formed; if a nation without rights, and a government without restriction, constitute a despotism.
