To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
when the people of the south cease to be masters, by the tampering in- terference of this Government, direct or indirect, they will assuredly be slaves. It is the clear and distinct perception of the irresistible tendency of this protecting system to precipitate us upon this great moral and political catastrophe, that has animated me to raise my warning voice, that my fellow-citizens may foresee, and, foreseeing, avoid the destiny that would otherwise befal them. I have thus, sir, endeavored to... explain the practical operation of this system, as a scheme of oppressive taxation tending to exhaust the resources, and, through these, the moral tone and spirit of the southern States. I propose now to examine its bearing on the grand principles of constitutional liberty, and particularly the principle of representative responsibility, without which liberty has no effectual safeguard against arbitrary power, even in a popular go- vernment. I will submit a very few remarks on the question ot the constitutional power of Congress to impose duties on imports for the purpose of protecting manufactures.
