To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But if I am driven to choose between the two extremes between that of standing insulated and aloof from all foreign connection, and trusting for defence to our own resources, and that system, as laid down in the speech of an honourable gentleman who distinguished himself so much last night, to the extent to which he pressed it I do not hesitate to declare that my opinion is for the first of those situations. I should prefer even total disunion to that sort of connection, to preserve which we sh...ould be obliged to risk the blood and the resources of the country in every quarrel and every change that ambition or accident might bring about in any part of the continent of Europe. But in the question before us, I deny that I am driven to either of these extremes. The honourable gentleman, who spoke with all the open ingenuousness as well as the animation of youth, seemed himself to dread the extent to which his own doctrines would lead him : he failed, therefore, to sustain the policy of the system he described, in that part where it can alone apply namely, to the degree which it is necessary for us to support a balance of power.
