To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The army authorised to be raised is about seventy thou- 11 sand men, and the" expense of the campaign may be put at thirty millions of dollars. It will probably exceed it by several millions, but I desire to be moderate. Suppose the active force in the field be 50,000 men, what then wiir be your sacrifice under this supposition? the loss of thirty millions of dollars. And what the sacrifice of life will be, may be judged of by looking at the past. One third-must be put down as certain to perish..., not by the sword only, but by disease. Sixteen thousand lives then must be sacrificed. Now, I put it heme to you Senators. Is it worth while to make this immense sacri- £ce of moiiey and men for the mere purpose of obtaining the consent of Mexico to hold what we can so easily hold in despite of her ? I put a graver question. I appeal to the conscience of every Senator who hears me, can you as a Christian, justify giving a vote that would lead to such results? Nay, is there one of you, who would give thirty millions of dollars, and sacrifice the lives of sixteen thousand of our people, for the two Cali- fornias and New Mexico ?
