What reading level is The True Issue, And the Duty of the Whigs. An Address Before the Citizens of Cambridge, October 1, 1856 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Whether the basis be regarded as one founded upon popu- lation, or property, there is an inequality which is contrary to the spirit of our free institutions.
The inequality exists also in the election of President and Vice-President. At the coming election, the slave-holding States will have twenty-one electoral votes, by reason of their slave population; the Constitution providing that "each State shall appoint, in such manner as the legislature thereof may direct, a number of electors equal t...o the whole number of senators and representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress." But for this unequal vote, Mr.
Buchanan's chance would be the mere shadow of a shade.
But this inequality is not a subject of complaint, with any view to redress or change. The people of the non-slave-hold- ing States ratified the Constitution, with these provisions as parts of it. If they made a bad compromise, it is no more than they have done in other instances. Let it stand. Let those entitled have the benefit of it ; but it is proper that these matters should be brought into view, when the account of the wrongs and injustice done to the slave-holding States is audited for the purpose of ascertaining the balance.
