To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Let us refuse all supplies to armies equipped for conquest and proclaim to our sister Republic that we are now ready to accept precisely the terms we ought to have offered before we commenced this unhappy war I think myself entirely safe in saying, that if the honest convictions of a ma- jority of both Houses do not compel them to sanction, by their votes, proposi- tions like these, the world will be justified in believing that, with American legislators, the voice of patriotism is less heeded ...than the dictates of party There is another consideration, which ought to have weight with honest men of all parties, with the people of every section of the American Union- it is the certainty that any extension of our territory in a south westwardly direction involves the renewed agitation, and in a far more fearful shape, of the Missouri controversy. Whenever a treaty shall be presented to the Senate, embracing the cession of Mexican territory, the question will be directly presented Southern gentlemen affirm that no treaty, attended, directly or indirectly, with a prohibition of slavery south of 36° 30', can be ratified.
