To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There is a power in our midst, which — in the graphic description of the Senator from Massachusetts, who is unable through its violence to now occupy his seat — may be likened to the black magnetic mountain upon the face of the deep, mentioned in the Arabian story, which drew, one by one, the strong iron bolts of the stately ship, until she fell, a disjointed wreck. So with this. The principles of earher years instilled in the land of Freedom, with too many of our public men, as they approach t...his power, one by one are withdrawn, until they fall a disjointed wreck. And it would seem that this power was grateful for no service, except as the basis of increased exactions, and is reckless of the number or standing of the victims.
Xot only this, sir, but the method of accomplishing these purposes is full of warning and shame. To the doubting and timid, hope of reward is promised, while the courageous and bold are cast off at pleasure. In proof of the latter, I need but call the attention of gentlemen to the action of the late Cincinnati Democratic National Convention, in se- lecting for its standard-bearer one who had been in no sense an advocate and defender of the great doctrine for which others had perilled so much ; and, in support of the former allegation, I subjoin from the Washington Ujiioti, the organ of President Pierce's administration, the follow- ing article, which made its appearance pending the struggle upon the Kansas-Nebraska bill, and which is in substance repeated in a late number of the same paper, upon the eve of this great contest upon the Lecompton Constitution, and at a time when a few more votes seem as important to the success of this measure, as they were deemed then important to the success of that : "If a Democratic member of Congress is led by his ' judgment and his conscience to vote for the bill, (as we ' hope all Democrats will be led to do, ) and he returns to ' his constituents to encounter the clamor of Whigs and ' Abolitionists, together with disaffected men of his own * party, no sensible man (at least no man who understands 11 ' and appreciates the character of the Executive) will be- ' lieve that the President will allow such factious men to ' \Yie\d public patro?iage to overthrow him.
