To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" " The only difficulty in his mind ever had been, that of a recognition by any new act of our Government of the insti- tution of domestic slavery; and he had found it extremely difficult to bring his mind to a condition impartially to weigh the argument for and against the measure. " This was the testimony of General Pierce, and should have its full weight before the country. " He regarded slavery as one of the greatest moral and social evils. " If this is so, sir, it is not only our duty to e...radicate the evil where it now exists, but we are bound to prevent its exten- sion. It is the duty of Congress to provide promptly such measures as will protect society from immoral influences, and secure the people in their rights. It may be said we have no power over the subject in the States. I reply, we have power in this District, which is undoubted, and it is our duty to exercise it if the evidence of our witness is worthy of belief ; and I claim that for him, and demand action. Hear this same witness further: it is " a curse upon the whole country; and this he believed to be the sentiment of all men of all parties at the North.
