To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Mr. DAVIS. Then, how did the South become re- sponsible for the doctrine of Gen. Cass, by consenting to his nomination in 1818, and supporting his elec- tion? But at a later period, down to the present session, what is the position in which the Senator places his friends, — those sterling Democrats, uncom- promising anti-Know-Nothings, — men who give no quarter to the American party, and yet who voted this year for Mr. Smith, of North Carolina, to be Speaker of the House of Representatives. Is ...the Senator answered ? Does he not see that there is no justice in assuming a vote for an individual to be the entire adoption of his opinions?
He cited in this connection a resolution of 1848, as having beenframedto cover the doctrines of the Nichol- son letter ; and he claimed thus to have shown that the convention not only understood it, but adopted it and made it the party creed, and that we were bound to it from that period forward. He even had that resolu- tion of 1848 read, in order that there should be, at no future time, any question as to the principle which the party then avowed ; that it should be fixed as a starting-point in all the future progress of Democracy.
