To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Was the declaration of your opinion obtained by surprise ? was it disputed in debate, or carried by an inconsiderable majority ? or has long experi- ence made us wiser than we were in 1793 ? Has the resolution of this House been rescinded ? Have the laws been repealed ? Are the statutes obsolete ? or has the lapse of time been sufficient to make us forget our principles, and to bury our insti- tutions in oblivion ? I say that all these authorities united in one fundamental proposition, that the... security of your dominion, and of all the na- tional benefits to be derived from it, depended on its limitation. This was the sole object of the wisdom and policy of this country, from the mo- ment when the sudden acquisition of a great ter- ritory obliged you to consider and determine, on what principles it ought to be held, and by what limits it ought to be confined. It is also well worth your observation, that this limitation of dominion was prescribed to the Governments abroad, while the French had a real establish- ment, and iometimes a formidable power in India.
