To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I say emphatically and distinctly that I do not desire to see our government seeking for war, or, as the common expression is, "picking a quarrel" with Spain, or any other government. I prefer peace with that government and with all govern- ments One sentiment which the gentleman from North Carolina [Mr. Vena- ble] advanced, I endorse most fully. So long as Spain holds the Island of Cuba, and holds it securely, I am content that she shall keep it. But I will make no speech against its acquisiti...on. I will make no argument against its acquisition. I would have Spain and all the world to under- stand distinctly that we always desire the island ; and that if Spain ever parts with it, we mean to have it, peaceably if we can, forcibly if we must. I would not encourage her to look to other quarters for a pur- chaser or an owner, in case she were disposed to part with the island. I would not encourage others to hope that they might acquire it on any terms short of absolute force. Hence I say, I would make no arguments against its acquisition.
