To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Here, then, are two ap- proved authorities, one of whom nature taught the art of war, as she kindly did us colonels, and the other that renowned hero of Epirus, who gave the Romans so much trouble in his time. These authorities are near two thousand years old, and, as far as I know, unquestioned, till the gentleman from Michigan attacked them yesterday. Here, again, I ask who shall decide ? Pyrrhus and the boar on one side, and the gentle- man from Michigan on the other. Sir, I decline jurisdic...tion of the ques- tion, and leave the two hundred and forty colonels of this House to set- tle the contest, "non nostrum tanlas coniponere lites.^'' Mr. Speaker, I feel it quite impossible to withdraw from this part of the debate without some comment on another assertion, or rather intima- tion, of the gentleman from Michigan, touching the conduct of General Harrison at the battle of the Thames. All who have made themselves acquainted with the history of that event, know that the order in which the American army was to attack the combined force of British and In- dians at the Thames was changed at the very moment when the onset was about to be made.
