To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
As our population has expanded, the Union has been cemented and strengthened; as our boundaries have been enlarged, and our agricultural popula- tion has been spread over a large surface, our federative sys- tem has acquired additional strength and security. It may well be doubted whether it would not be in greater danger of overthrow, if our present population were confined to the comparatively narrow limits of the original thirteen States, than it is, now that they are sparsely settled over a...n expand- ed territory. It is confidently believed that our system may be safely extended to the utmost bounds of our territorial limits ; and that, as it shall be extended, the bonds of our Union, so far from being weakened, will become stronger. Ijone can fail to see the danger to our safety and future peace, if Texas remains an independent State, or becomes an ally or dependency of some foreign nation more powerful than her- self. Is there one among our citizens who would not prefer perpetual peace with Texas, to occasional wars, which so often occur between bordering independent nations?
