To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
What part of the Constitution •riommunicates to you any authority to arraign and try your predecessors ? In what article is contained your power to expunge what they have done ? And may not the precedent lead to a perpetual circle of defacement and restoration of the transactions of the Senate as consigned to the public records ? Are you not only destitute of all authority, but positively forbidden to do what the expunging resolution proposes ? The injunction of the Consti- tution to keep a jou...rnal of our proceedings is clear, express and emphatic. It is free from all ambiguity: no sophistry can pervert the explicit language of the instrument; no artful device can elude the force of the obligation which it imposes. If it were possible to make more manifest the duty which it requires to be performed, that was done by the able and eloquent speeches, at the last session, of the Senators from Virginia and Louisiana, (Messrs. Leigh and Porter,) and at this of my colleague. I shall not repeat the argument.
