To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
"A treaty is now presented to us, which, if ratified, will terminate this cause of difference by the abandonment of a large potion of our claim, and what is still worse, by the abandonment of more than was ever offered, or even contem- plated, in any one of the various phases of this diplomatic contest. I say, if ratified ; but it seems scarcely necessary to speak conditionally upon this matter. As to the English Government, it can hardly refuse its formal assent to an in- strument prepaivd by ...itself. It comes to us as it came from England, and, as has been said, without ' the crossing of a t or the dotting of an i, untouched and unchanged. ' And as to the issue of our present discussion, the course it has taken, and the vote we have already given, announce but too clearly that ■we shall return it as we received it, making its terms our own. " The course pursued by General Cass during the progress of the Oregon con- troversy — his unwavering firmness and unyielding consitency upon the whole matter — merits the decided approbation of the American people.
