To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is the privilege of the people, in their primary assemblies, and of every private man, however humble, to express an opinion in regard to the purposes foe which the War should be continued ; and such an expression will receive just so much consideration and consequence as it is entitled to, and no more. Shall this war be prosecuted for the purpose of conquering and annexing Mexico, in all its boundless extent, to the United States ? I will not attribute to the President of the United States ...any such design ; but I confess I have been shocked and alarmed by manifestations of it in various quarters. Of all the dangers and misfortunes which could befall this nation, I should regard that of its becoming a war-like and conquering power the most direful and fatal. History tells the mournful tale of conquering nations and conquerors. The three most celebrated conquerors, in the civilized world, were Alexander, Caasar, aid Napoleon. The first, after overrunning a large portion of Asia, and sighing and lamenting that there were no more worlds to subdue, met a premature and ignoble death.
