To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We have conquered, and now hold absolutely under our control large prov- inces of Mexican territory; and the question no 'lon-ger is, how much we shall take from Mexico, but how much shall we give hack to her, provided she will make peace. The territory and property which we have taken from Mexico, is absolutely ours, subject to our jurisdiction and control; pos- session and sovereignty are alike in our hands, and that extended over more country, probably, than we are willing permanently to ann...ex. But so long as Mexico shall refuse peace, no one will^ question our ri^ht to hold on to our conquests; and it is for the United States, and not Mexico, to determine what portion shall be restored to that country.
But, Mr. Chairman, aside from those general principles, what is the relation which now exists between Mexico and the United States? Is it not very similar to that of debtor and creditor ? Mex- ico, with an eflVontery unparalleled in the inter- course of nations, has stubbornly refused to carry out her treaty stipulations with us, and growing more insolent and haughty as our patience and for- bearance were further extended towards her, she literally compelled us to take up arms and fall back upon the last resort of nations.
