To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Reverse this relation, and war would, indeed, be a rare oc- currence ; for, then, Government would reflect the mind of the people, and the mind of the people is not for war. It is Government, that gets up wars. Not one in five of our people was originally in favor of our KEEP GOVERNMENT WITHIN ITS LIMITS. I wicked war with Mexico, the reckoning-Jay for which will surely come, in eternity, and, most probably, in time, also. I have not character- ized this war as wicked, because I regard some war...s as innocent. It is true, that our war upon poor Mexico was superlatively wicked ; but all wars are wicked, and no truer saying fell from Dr. Franklin's lips, than that there never was a good war, nor a bail peace. I have ascribed wars to the undue proportions and undue influence of Government. In vain, will it be, that Peace Societies labor to prcv wars, if Government shall be allowed each proportion ice. The Government, that shall be allowed Co overshadow and control the people, will be in favor of wars; for such a Government will find enjoyment and glory in wars.
