To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The gentleman speaks of the opinion of the great statesman of Kentuckv, Mr. Clay. The world knows Mr. Clay's opinions on this subject. But, sir, the gentleman is very in- consistent, for where such patriots as Washington and Clay lead, he will not follow. Washington was the president of the convention that formed our Con- stitution, where slavery is recognised and the slave trade is encouraged. Mr. Clay is for the admission of California, and in connexion with the bill for her admission will vo...te to organize a government for all the rest of the newly ac- quired territory without the Wilmot proviso. Now, sir, adopting the gentle- man's motto, I say to him, " Where such men lead, who dares not follow ?" It is admitted that Mr. Clay is in favor of emancipation ; but this question in Kentucky last summer was settled by an. Overwhelming majority in favor of the continuance of the institution of slavery as it now exists. It is not reo-ard- ed by the people of that State as a '"• moral curse.
