To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This denun- ciation was a favorite one asrainst Mr. Jefferson. Men of minds which unite originality with bril- liancy, are apt to be called, or to be considered, 2B visionary. To be visionary is one thing, to be erratSr another — to be the first is never to succeed. Those who vary with experience and truth, certainly in- crease their chances of success. The Federalists; as a party, were consistent to their principles and their measures. Their demerits bore no kind o£ proportion to the extent of... their defeat. The mind of Mr. Calhoun is active, strongs self-relying, bold and original. His opinions may be incorrect, but from the splendid fallacy, his ad- versary may learn. The very extent of his intel- lectual vision frequently misleads — the astronomer of old gazing upon the stars stumbled into the pit^ In any matter of great moment or emergency I would set the highest estimate upon the expositions, reasoning, and opinion of Mr. Cai-houn, but at tlie same time I should value quite as highly the priv- ilege not to be obliged to follow that opinion when pronounced.
