fered by Mr.. Allen in the Senate of the U.
States. They are only declaratory Of the
almost united feeling Of the American peo-
pie. The Federal Senators, together with
Calhoun and few Of his tools who profess
to be democrats, would not SO much as al
low them to be introduced; though Mr..
Allen asked it as an act of courtesy. We
want our readers to mark this that the en-
tire whig Senator's voted against receiving
them. This federal party are Away ready
to show their hand, whenever question
involving the interests Of monarchy and re-
publicanism arises. The history of our
country will bear US out in the statement,
that whenever such questions have come
before the American people, or the Amer
ican Congress, this same party, nov styling
themselves ph;gs have been on the side Of
monarchy and against republicanism.
JOINT RESOLUTION declaratory Of the
principles by which the government Of
the United States will be governed, in
regard to the interposition Of the pow
ers Of Europe in the political affairs of
America.
Resolved By the Ss,sate and House of Rep
representatives Of the United States of finer
ica in Congress assembled, That recent man.
ifestations Of a disposition by certain pow
ers of Europe to interfere in the political
arrangements Of this continent, with view
to the enforcement Of the Europeon prin-
ciple Of the ssbalance Of power," upon the
independent nations Of America, having
made it, in his judgment, the duty Of the
President of the United States to call the
attention Of Congress to this subject in his
annual message, and to announce, on the
part of the United States, the counter prin-
ciple of non-intervention, it is the iudg-
ment Of Congress that the announcement
thus made by the President was demanded
by the manifest hazard to which such in
reference would inevitably expose the re-
lations Of peace now subsisting between
the old world and the new.
Resolved, That Congress thus concur
ring with the President, and sensible that
this subject has been forced upon the at
tention Of the United States by recent
events so significant as to make it impos-
sible for this government longer to remain
silent, without being ready to submit to,
and even to invite, the enforcement Of this
dangerous doctrine, do hereby solemnly
declare to the civilized world the unalter-
able resolution Of the United States to ad-
here to and to enforce the principle. that
any effort Of the powers Of Europe to inter-
meddle in the social organization or polit.
ical arrangements Of the independent ma
tions Of America, or further to extend the
European system Of government upon this
continent by the establishment Of new col
onies, would be incompatible with the in
dependent existence Of the nations, and
dangerous to the liberties Of the people Of
America; and therefore would incur, as by
the right Of self preservation it would JUS
tify, the prompt resistance Of the United
States.
