To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Buchanan denounced in unmeasured terms the anti-slavery agitation and the motives of those who stirred It up, still he was in favor of receiving the petition ; while the great sage of Ashland, whose patriotism cannot be doubted, manfully resisted the agitation, but defended the right of petition: Mr. Calhoun, whose superior wisdom is more visible in history than it was to his contempo- raries, resisted the reception of the petition. He denounced them because they aimed at a " violation of the C...onstitution, "_aud because he was averse to an agitation which would " sunder the Union. " The agitation of the question in reference to the Territories furnished a more extended theatre, and a more fruitful field for excitement and animosity. Then it was that the South fell never to rise, unless she does in the might of a separate republic. The fatal day for us was when our statesmen conceived the idea of what they were pleased to call com- promise, that misnamed, unconstitutional surrender of our equality iu the Union.
