To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
If the matter is to be negotiated through our mediation, we must lend our moral sanction to the settlement at which we assist. There are many things which we cannot help, but there are some things with which it were wise to have nothing to do. And to this latter category I venture to think most eminently belongs the definition of that permanent line of demarcation which must, no doubt, one day separate the Slave from the Free States of America. 41 So far as sympathy was concerned, the feeling t...hen enter- tained by Sir George Lewis and Lord Clarendon is probably not incorrectly mirrored in the following extract from a sub- sequent communication of ^'Historicus" to the Times: Is there any man so sanguine as to hope that the end of this busi- ness is to be the extinction of slavery? But, if not, are we. to be- come the virtual guarantors for its security? To my mind, in the one word "slavery" is comprehended a perpetual bar to the notion of English mediation as between the North and the South; a bar to amicable mediation, because it would be futile; to forcible inter- vention, because it would be immoral.
