Phenix gazette. [volume] (Alexandria [D.C.]) 1825-1833, 1826-04-19

Mon, dc not intend to sanction any departure
from the settled policy of this Government,
that in extending our commercial relations
with foreign nations, we should have with them
as little political connexion as possible; and
that we should preserve peace, commerce and
friendship with all nations, and form entang-
ling alliances with none. 1t is therefore the
opinion Of this House, that the Government OF
the United States ought not to be represented
at the Congress Of Panama, except In Diplo-
matte character nor ought they 10 form any al
lance offensive or defensive, or negotiate re-
specting such an alliance, with all or any OF
the Spanish American Republics; nor ought
they to become parties with them, or either of
them, to any Joint declaration for the purpose
of preventing tie interference of any of the
European Powers with their independence or
form of Government; or TO any compact tor
the purpose of preventing Colonization upon
the Continent Of America; but that the people
of the United States should be left free 10 act
in any crisis, in such manner, as their feelings
of friendship towards these Republics, and as
their own honor and policy may, at the time
dictate.
The amendment having been read, and time
for reflection asked, the Committee rose and
obtained leave to sill again.
Mr. Little of Maryland, then moved to dis
charge the Committee Of the Whole on the
State Of the Union, from the further considera-
ton Of the Report of the Committee of Foreign
Affairs, with view Of taking up the appropri-
alton bill, but the motion was resisted by Mr..
McLane, and others, on the ground that if the
appropriation were first made, no decision could
afterwards be had on the Resolution. The mo-
