To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
(Applause.) No ! gentlemen, no ! such things- cannot be. I do not say that we will starve, that we will perish, as a people, if we sepa- rate from the South. I admit, that if the line be drawn between us, they will have their measure of prosperity, and we will have ours ; but meagre, small in the extreme, compared with what is existing, and promised under our Union, will be the prosperity of each. Truly has it been said here to-night, that we were made for each other ; separate us, and although... you may not destroy us, you re- duce each to so low a scale that well might humanity deplore the evil courses that brought about the result. True, gentlemen, we would have left, to boast of, our share of the glories of the Revolution. The Northern States sent forth to the conflict their bands of heroes, and slied their blood as freely as those of the South. But the dividing line would take away from us the grave of Washington. It is in his own beloved Virginia. (Applausw 11 and cheers.) It is in the State and near the spot where this treason that has been grow- ing up in the North, so lately culminated in violence and bloodshed.
