To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Full one half of their numbers, both in the Sen- nd in the House, now find themselves unsupported — their principles and their measures sternly condemned by the States and districts that sent them here. In federalism, however, this has produced no change. From the begin- ning of the present, it has continued the policy of the extra session, and yet continues to pursue that policy, with all the preternatural energy of despair — as though resolved, during the brief futurity of its power, to stamp... upon the country, as deeply as possible, the dark impress of its baleful genius. With these views, the party have proceeded. They have authorized an additional loan of five millions of dollars. They have added five millions more to the treasury notes previously issued. But these, with those of the extra session, are still not enough: and, therefore, another tariff has passed the House, and will as certainly pass the Senate, imposing thirteen millions more of taxes upon the country. Thus, every article from abroad — all things that minister to the wants of men — tea, coffee, whatever is most needful to the poorest citizen, — each one and all now yields its tribute to fill yet fuller the already distended maw of in- satiate power.
