To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Sir, I cannot sympathize with the argument of those who attempt to draw a parallel between the present condition of affairs in some of the Southern States and the revolt of the colonies against the Government of Great Britain. I would not dignify the causeless rebellion which now exists among a portion of the slaveholding people of the country, so as to elevate it along- side of the great American Revolution, which will forever stand foi'th as one of the most sub- lime epochs in the history of ...the world. If, every time a discontented minority, after having participated in an election, shall refuse to ac- quiesce in the constitutional result, and threaten to pull down the pillars of the Government, we treat them in the same way that Burke advised towards the American colonies, how long will it be before the great fundamental principle on which this Government rests, to wit, that the majority shall rule, would be trampled under foot and the Government destroyed ? I do not propose, Mr. Speaker, to go into a detailed statement of all the reasons which operate on my mind against the admission of New Mexico as a State.
