To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It cannot be thought that in regard to these, congress should legislate irrespective of the will of the citizens of the District ; much less in oppo- sition to it. When a majority of the citizens shall require congress to abolish slavery, it will be proper to deliberate upon the subject and endeavor to adopt a system similar to that adopted by our own state, to put an end to the existence of slavery within our own limits, or some other which shall be more practicable and more in accordance with... the wishes and interests of all the parties to be affected by if. But neither law nor equity can admit the proposition of the abolitionists to set free at once the existing slave against the will of the owner, and without rendering to him a just compensation. The terms " exclusive jurisdic- tion, " I take to mean not a jurisdiction of absolute unlimited power, but one not to be interfered with by any other legislative body. I un- derstand the constitution of the United States to shield the citizens of the District in their rights of person and of property against the usurpa- tion of congress, as well as the citizens of the states against the encroach- ments of their legislatures.
