To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

It is au attempt to deify the politician at the expense" of the people ; that is the whole of it. Sir, do you think that this House of Representatives, that this Senate, that thia President, is the motive power of this (government ? If you do, let me assure you you know but little about it. The mo- tive power of this Government is the people — the people at home, who attend to their own busi- ness and mind their own matters — and the pol- iticians here, who pretend that they themselves are the ...motive power, are insignificant in com- parison with the tly on the axle-tree, who claimed that he mftde the coach move. [Laughter. ] That is the fact. Now, sir, I am tired of these as- sumptions. I cannot endure them. I contend that it is better to leave these men alone, with- out our supervision, until their faults or weak- nesses shall show that our intervention alone can be their salvation.
I think, now, Mr. Speaker, that I have vindi- cated the power of the people to govern them- selves.
