To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I think it not quite consistent in the committee to r-fuse an amend- mentwhere it is possible to interfere with slavery, oa the ground that nobody proposes to do so, and at the same time to bring in an amendment to provide against not only what no one proposes to do, but what, if desired, it is impossible to do. But gentlemen tell ns that demagogues in the South, by oersistently misrepresenung our pur- poses to the people, have brought them to be- lieve that it is our purpose to abolish slavery.... 1 am bound to suppose that the oppone ts of this class of politicians in the South have always known these representations to be untrue. They have had all the evidence which any man capa- ble of thinking could ask. I mast presume, like- wise, that they have, with the earnestness of sin- cere 'men, brought this evidence to the'nolice of the people; so that, wherever the poison of falsehood has been scattered, the antidote, truth, has followed. Now, if the friends of truth have done their whole duty in this respect, to the Southern people.
