'iHtSSd%e ol one OF Ky predecessors, tnaI
"Ihe American continents, by the free and
independent condition which they have as
sumed and maintain, are henceiurth not TO
/ be considered as subjects for future coloni-
cation by any European power" This
principle will apply with greatly increased
Iorce, should any European power attempt
to establish any new colony in North Ameri.
ca. In the existing circumstances Of the
world, the present is deemed a proper oc-
caslon to reiterate and re~atiirm the princi-
pie avowed by Mr.. Monroe, and to state
my cordial concurrence in its wisdom and
policy. The assertion of this priHcipIe,
especially in reference to North America,
Is al this day but the promuIgl.ion OF a
policy which 10 European power should
IcheDIsh the disposition 10 resist. Existing
rights Of every European nation should be
respected; but it is due alike 10 cur safety
and our interests, that th. efficient pro-
lection Of oar laws should be extended
over OIL whole territorial limits, and that
1t should be distinctly aunmuced to the
world as oar settled policy, thai no future
European colony or dominion shall, with
oar consent, he planted or established on
any part OF the North American continent.
