To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" Another gentleman, (Mr. Cobb, ) 11 from Georgia, in addition toother expressions of great warmth, has said, that if we persist the Union will he dissolved ; and, with a look fixed on me, hac told us, " we have kindled a fire, which all the waters of the ocean cannot put out ; which seas of blood can only extinguish !" Language of this sort I as no effect on me ; my purpose is fixed ; it is interwoven with my existence ; its durability is limited with my life ; it is a great and glorious cause..., setting bounds to a slavery, the most cruel and debasing the world has ever witnessed ; it is the freedom of man ; it is the cause of unredeemed and unregenerated human beings. If a dissolution of the Union must take place, let it he so ! If civil war, which gentlemen so much threaten, must come, I can only say, let it come ! My hold on life is probably as frail as that of any man who now hears me ; but, while that hold lasts, it shall be devoted to the service of my country — to the freedom of man.
