To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But the gravest charge brought forward by the President, and one which deserves more consideration than any other, is this : Mexico passed the boundary of the United States, invaded our territory, and shed Jimcrican blood upon American, soil. If this charge was sustained, I admit that it would furnish a just cause of war. But this statement of the President, bold and frank, plain and intelligible as it is, is unfortunately wanting in justice and truth. The facts in the case do not in any degree... sustain the President, but they are totally irreconcilable with his position, as I shall attempt to show. Mexico passed our boundary ! Our army, by the unjustifiable orders of the President, passed the boundary of Mexico. Mexico commenced hostili- ties ! The President himself was the aggressor. He ordered the army into Mexico ; he commenced hostilities, not only without law, but in direct vio- lation of the first principles of our organic law — exercising the war-making power, and thereby trenching upon the prerogative of Congress; and that too, while they were in session, and could have been consulted at any moment.
