To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
That California, in consideration of the peculiar circumstances of her case, be ad- mitted without the approval or disapproval of that part of her Constitution which relates to slavery. " In our sober judgment these do, in truth, ''^put the solution of the difficulty on the eter- nal principle of right — the law of the Consti- tution.^^ " To enforce the provisions of the Constitution in relation to fugitive slaves'' is simply to be just, and to carry out the good golden rule of doing unto other...s as we would have others do unto us. " Commodore Stock- ton's first remedial measure is, in fact, only to declare that the Constitution should be the 3 18 law by which we are governed, and, after all, California will do as she pleases, as all other States have done; and if that part of her Constitution relating to slavery should even be rejected, as a condition, and at the period of her admission into the Union, she will still possess the right (and exercise it too) of making a new Constitution to suit herself in all respects, when she has become a mem- ber of the confederacy and an independent State.
