To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Two things were to be feared: the anger of the West and the jibe of the East.
18 That the East would sneer was certain. Witness what was said in the New York Evening; Post of November 11th, 1814: " Thomas Jefferson deputed two Ministers to Great Britain for the ostensible purpose of negotiating a treaty with that power. These men, Messrs. Munroe and Pinkney, high in the favour of the President, concluded a treaty with the British Commissioners on the 31st Decem- ber, 1806. This treaty, on its a...rrival in this country, Mr. Jefferson REJECTED because it contained no stipulation on the part of Great Britain to relinquish the right to search mer- chant vessels for deserters; rejected it, too, with- out laying it before the Senate, thus assuming the sole responsibility of all the evil which might follow.
" This peremptory rejection by Mr. Jefferson of a treaty which, if accepted, would probably have invigorated our commerce and given a new impulse to our prosperity, was universally con- sidered as indicating on the part of this Govern- ment, so long as democracy wielded it, an un- alterable determination never to conclude a treaty with England UNTIL SHE FORMALLY SUR- RENDERED THE RIGHT OF SEARCH.
