To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There stood the Em- peror of Russia in hostile attitude, attempting to resist and oppose him. Did he, in the progress made by his arms, overturn all civil government, and the rules to regulate conduct between man and man ? Who ever heard of such a pretence ? Even when he entered and occupied Moscow he had not obtained the right of conquest. So, when General Taylor entered Matamoros, no one considered him as hay- ing obtained title for his country. When he stormed Monterey, and, with an inferior... force, took possession of that strongly fortified city, did any one say he had obtained a title by conquest ? I think not. There was Mexico still in arms. She raised another well-appointed army, and fought the battle of Buena Vista ; and there was not then a title by conquest, for General Scott had to go with another army on another line of operations, and fight many liard battles before he was able, in the language of the President and his lieir appa- rent, even to " conquer a peace, " much less to subdue the civil and military Government of Mexico.
