To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We could not, if we would, and we would not if we could, be all ahke great, or all alike small. If the world were all mountain, the people could not live ; if tlie world were all plain, the people would die. A nation's greatness, therefore, is determined, not by its equali- ties, but by its inequalities ; and its prosperity is measured by the greatness of the men who rule its destinies and order its af- fairs. And among the men of this nation, to whom this place has been assigned by Grod, there... have been none greater than Hen- ry Clay and Daniel Webster. Have they not a place among the three most honorable and mighty ? I speak not of them as partizans, but as patriots ; as men whose services were no more limited by their political rela- tionships, than their fame is "hemmed in by state lines." Caro- lina — Kentucky — Massachusetts : these were but the homes from which they came forth to bless a nation. Federalist — Dem- ocrat — Whig ; these are but family names, but they are kin- dred and confederate all.
