To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But, if this exposition be authentic, I must say it is not calculated to diminish my opposition to the sen- timents of that school. But the gentleman goes on to tell us that nullification, or inter- position, succeeded. By means of it, he says, he did bring the pro- tective system to the ground. And so, in his published letter of No- vember 3d, he states that " State interposition has overthrown the protective tariff, and, with it, the American system. " We are to understand, then, sir, first, ...that the compromise act of 1833 was forced upon Congress by State interposition, or nul- lification. Next, that its object and design, so far as the honorable gentle- man was concerned in it, was to break down and destroy, forever, the whole protective policy of the country. And lastly, that it has accomplished that purpose, and that the last vestige of that policy is wearing away. Now, sir, I must say, that, in 1833, I entertained no doubt at all that the design of the gentleman was exactly what he now states.
