To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Instead of regular sales to the highest bidders, a fair competition and equal privileges to all purchasers, and the universal right to make entries after closing the sales, such as it was under our old and well tried system, a set of pre-emption laws were commenced under the last Administration, and continued until the winter of 1835-6, when we succeeded, at last, in ar resting their progress: but we could not put an end to the evils which they had produced. I need not de tail to you, gentlemen..., the frauds, the peculation, the lawless violence that had its origin in these pre-emp tion laws, which were feigned to be intended for the benefit of the poor, while, in fact, they only increased the already overgrown fortunes of the rich speculator and monopolist. I look at it here in a different and more important aspect as a measure, a part of a system, whose whole tendency was to put down the law and the power of the law, and substitute in its place personal caprice and Executive discretion.
