To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The utmost latitude of debate had already been tolerated; and no injury could now accrue from a temperate expression of his senti- ments on the general question. If he thought otherwise, his lips would be hermetically sealed ; but he felt himself at liberty to say that he was opposed to slavery as a irractical evil, particularly in that part of the country with which he was best acquainted — exclusively a grain- growing region; and if all concurred with him, the day woultl ulti- mately come, wh...en the evil would disappear. He objected to slavery, not because it implies moral turpitude, or because it is a sin to be the owner of a slave. If it be a sin, then let the censure fall on those who introduced the evil, and have transmitted it to their ofl'spring. We suffer the consequence of their transgression — "The fatiiers have eaten sour grapes, and the children's teeth arc set on edge. " It is a law of our nature, immutable as the will of Him who is the author of nature, that the sins of the fathers are visited upon the children.
