To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The convention was held simply and solely for the purpose of announc- ing Democratic faith and letting the world know where the Democ- racy of Virginia stood, there having arisen in the mind of the public grave doubt as to that position. The convention was composed of gentlemen selected for no other purpose than to promulgate the party creed. That was their sole mission; there the boundary of their duty. After due deliberation a series of resolutions were unanimously adopted, the most important... revenue feature of which was We demand the immediate repeal of the internal-revenue system, a relic of the war and no longer necessary to meet the demands of the Government, be- cause it is oppressive, fosters monopolies, and is obnoxious to the interests of our people. If that imperative demand were met, it would render impossible any curtailment of receipts from imports, for the internal-revenue collec- tions exceed the annual surplus by 50 per cent. Aye, if the Demo- cratic members of this House would only go half as far as the united Democracy of Virginia demanded they should go, the problem of the surplus would be solved.
