To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
1 go for it, as I doubt whether the ''physical geography "of the country will exclude slavery. Slavery was tol- erated in these territories while under the domin- ion of Spain, and by the Mexican Government until 1824, when it was abolished. The character 6 of New Mexico is not unlike that of California, and if the climate and the character of the soil of the latter will exclude slavery, so it will in the former. Yet the convention that formed the con- stitution of California, by a unanimous vo...te, in- serted a prohibition of slavery, not choosing to rely upon " physical geography" to exclude it. There is, unquestionably, great mineral wealth in New Mexico, and who can doubt that slave labor will be found profitable in mining operations r And wherever profitable, there it will go, if per- mitted. But the power of Congress to inhibit the ex- tension of slavery to these territories, is denied; and the passage of any law of this character is to be regarded by the South as a sufficient cause for a secession from the Union.
