The Edinburgh Review, of January 1924, in the
article The Holy Alliance" adverted to the decla
ration of Mr.. Monroe, which we noticed few days
ago. and which we have more than once brought be-
fore the public. The friends of freedom in Europe
then rejoiced in il. They saw in it Of pre-
serving The liberties of mankind 10 that country in
which, above all others, much was TO be hoped for
the fortunes Of the whole human race, and which
already imbod ed the principles of liberty on broad
er scale than they had heretofore been adopted by
any modern Government. The following is the Ian
guage employed by the Edinburgh Review on thai,
occasion:
"The same spirit of persecution, the same love Of
intermeddling, and the same dread of free prDcl-
plies, my rely upon it would be carried by them
into the affairs Of The New World, fthey cond there
obtain footing. That they had it in contemplation to
attempt reducing the Spanish colonies TO submission,
we find admitted in their own State papers. year
ago they distinctly held out this aid boon to Fer
dinand. Nor As it easy to perceive by what argu'
meDts England, after suffering them TO overrun Old
Span' under prelence Of restoring their favorte to
his European dominons, could object TO their assist.

Assuredly, they have the very same right in both
cases; nCr IS there doubt that the safety of this
country lie far more nearly interested in preventing

he Government Of the United 81 tes has inftrposed to
settle this question: and has earned the lasting admiration
and gratitude i oil teemsn By setting bounds TO the pro-
g,ess u dsspoi'm, and cording liberty ,etuaI protec
ton IN all the uaa aud fertile gions of The pestern
uorid, That England should only follow, where her

mercantile seEsiblltles reused, is considera
ton yet more painful"
