To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
When the Constitution was adopted, only seventy years ago, New York was behind Virginia, both in pro ducts and importations. But a short time previous to that, this latter State was the first commer cial State in the Union her commerce exceeded that of all New England, and was three times as great as that of New York. Now, New York city alone is worth more than twice as much as the whole State of Virginia, and contains more than half as many inhabitants. I do not speak of these two States as ex...ceptional cases; there is even more difference with some of the others than with these. I might take each and every one of the slave States, and compare them in detail with the free States, in prosperity and progress, with less favorable results for some of the slave States than the comparison between New York and Virginia. Take also, for instance, Pennsylvania and South Carolina. The imports of foreign goods into South Carolina a century ago were near three million dollars. At present they are but little more than half that amount; whereas, in Philadelphia alone, they are more than twelve times as much.
