To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This man, a cotemporary of that period, who had studied that complex and deli- cate work, knew the object of the whole and the function of each of its parts — I ask, did he not understand the uses and design of that work as well, nay, much better, than we, hia degenerate successors ? That question, I repeat, was sub- mitted to his Cabinet, not a single member of which, I believe, is now alive ; and the testimony of Mr. Adams is, that they were unanimously of the opinion that the bill prohibitin...g slavery in the territory north of latitude 36° 30' was a con- stitutional law. From the history of the times to which I now refer, we should all learn to tolerate difference of opinion. Mr. Jefferson thongnt a great public necessity obliged him to acquire Louisiana, with- out'any warrant in the Constitution for that act. It is not necessary now to recur to the historical facts of that day which formed in the mind of Mr. Jefferson a justification of that act. Louisi- ana was thus acquired, and all then supposed our territory complete.
