To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The difference in the two cases is, that the legislators who regulate the internal government of Maryland are the representatives of a slave State only ; but the legislators who regulate the government of the District of Columbia are the representatives both oi free and slave States. The soil of the District is common ground; — and something should be yielded on both sides in a spirit of compromise. If it was not wrong for the Legislature of Maryland to prohibit the existence of the slave- trad...e there, I think it certainly was not wrong for the Congress of the United States to prohibit the existence of the slave-trade in the District of Columbia. The people of the southern counties of Maryland have the most interest in the latter act, and I have yet to hear of the first man from that quarter who makes any objection to its passage. I therefore repeat once more, that the South has no right to complain of any of the measures embodied in the Compromiise. What right has the North to complain; — what injustice has been done to her?
