To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In fact, sir, the Constitution never contemplated the case of a State going otf t . Or being out, of the Union. Gentlemen on thi< floor have labored, with much astuteness and learning, to show how a State may go out of the Union ; and that, under their way, elovcn of the States have actually gone out. I beg leave to remind those gentlemen, with great respect, that although the mode is some- what novel, the principle itself is not new. It I> the same principle which firSt appeared in the celebra...ted resolutions of 17!)8, which was re- vived under the name of nullification by John C. 6 Calhoun in 1830, and culminated in secession in 1861. It is the same vicious principle which has seduced the hearts of a portion of our peo- ple from their allegiance to government, which has trampled on our flag, which has bathed our land in blood and filled our honles with mourn- ing. I had hoped, sir, that four years of war, and such a war, had wiped out forever from the public mind every thought of nullification, secession, and disunion, and that we had emerged from the bloody contest with but one national ]3ulsation, that the States "are one and inseparable, now and forever.
