To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
How many northern mem- bers are there in the other House for it ? It will take thirty northern Representatives to pass through such a bill. We all know what a clamor was raised two or three years ago by the Abo- litionists—falsely raised— when it was alleged that Congress intended to force slavery upon the Territory of Kansas, whether it wished it or not. Now, if we undertake to protect or maintain slavery in a Territory against the wish of the inhabitants, I ask you how many northern men are l...ikely'to sustain us in it? At present we have *no southern men for it that I know of except one. There may be others ;" but they have not thought proper after a debate of three months to state the fact. But suppose they come up and do it, how many men will you get from the North ? I hold that it is apolitical impossibility that we should pass such a measure ; and, as 1 shall present- ly endeavor to show, nothing but mischief will result from the attempt.
But suppose there were nothing in this fourth objection of mine, and that Congress should actu- ally pass a law of that sort, how much would it be worth in a Territory where the people are thoroughly adverse to it and unwilling that the institution should exist or be protected ?
