BRAND. speech to ~ ,psA p.p.tiss. in February,
1923, which detailed ~ tonvsrsssien with The En-
psror Alexander The Eutgor avowsd " him that
hs would not cot scoordng - his own innsdiats in
terest in the case of Cree. He could not har-
rass even the Ottoman Eueirs, at the expense
Of his principles Of passive obedience on the part Of
the people. There was hsoaf:er to be but one
policy in Europe-no EnGlhh, no Russian, no
Prussian, no Austrian polisy-but a union Of
sovereigns for mutual ascistance, and the conse-
quent preservation Of ordsr. These words were
thought exceedingly precious by Chataubriand,
and he wrote them down, and related them to the
Chamber with infinite satisfaction. Mr.. Webster
saw great offence in al these declarations lie
saw q horizontal division of society-a league OF
kings against the psopIe-a permanent oppression
Of the lower class-the mssses-by the upper class,
the sovereigns. He was 10th to believe that Eng
land endorsed that policy; but If she did,
against her. as wen Russia, Prussia, and Austria,
he was for constructing mstantT the American
policy, in open and avowed opposition Of principle
and design to the doctrine Of the Holy Alliance.
He trusted in God that the United States had
resolution and spirit enough left to proclaim and
enforce IN adverse system, securing the rights of
the people.
Mr.. Webster procee is to the question, what can
We do for Greece This was quarter Of century
ago, when the United States nu nbered not twice
many souls as the Greeks in Asia and in Europe,
estimated then at seven millions. We had no army;
and the American navy and shipping was not
fourth of its present strength Our agriculture was
undeyeloped, and the arts hardly of any conse-
quence. The country had not recovered from the
outrageous British war of 1872; the traces of its
vandalism were still visible in the smoke stained
ruins Of private and public buildings at Washing
ton. But TO- day, stand forth, not less in strength
and courage than in principle, as the model of
tons. Mr.. Webster answers the question in 1924,
by saying, we cinnot 60 to war. We must net
endanger our pacific relations. What then We
can enlist greater champion than fleets and m
mies-we can enlis. public opinion. Public opinion
had grewn into power over brute force. II had
made the recent overrunning o. Spain by France
nugatory.
Mr.. Webster proceeds then to give statistical
not relevant to the matter We have in hand.
He then asks, what did the Holy Alliance do
when the revolution broke out Z! They were q.
Laybach. They proclaimed their horror "of the
criminal combinations which had broken out in
sia, had always before encouraged rebellion in
Greece. In l4s2, Ivan; in 1886, Peter the Great;
in 1863, Catharine II. had excited the Greeks to
revolt. And the present Emperor, for the same
reasons Of distracting the Turkish Empire, had
pursued the same line o. conduct But no v, all
this Russian policy was changed suddenly, totally.
Vienna outdd Laybach; for ON the I4.h December,
1922 the allied Congress there, declared the Greek
resistance crash and culpable and La mented "tbat
a freb-and Of rebellion had been thrown into the
Ottoman Empire"
All this rebuke and elimination was the result
Of the settled principle Of the Holy Alliance. The
case of Greece was but an instance of its applca.
ton.
Mr.. Webster then eloqaently receu ats the strug-
gle Of the Greeks, from 1927 TO the last adsces.
He hopes the expression Of sympathy from the
United States would encourage them to continue
their rebellion. Having given that sympathy, the
issue may be left to Providen ,e. The resolution
gave the President no new power, nor enjoins new
duty, ror hastens him 10 discharge any duty
The Turks had no right to mplain, nor the par
ties to the Holy Alliance. They have expressed
their opiniens, and do not call ii interference
Presidents message is no interference; nor is this
resolution. The resolution, no xever, he said pro-
eeeded from wish to aggrandise ourselves, nor
to ipjure others. We bat maintain our own inte.
rests, and oppose the Intervention Of new rule, AMI
principles affecting the independence Of nations,
ard striking at our government. We take occa
sion Of the case Of Greece to protest against the
innovations Of the Holy Alliance.
And now, then, the momen. Of action has ar.
rived Mr. Webster has been taken from the TO-
rum of the House and the Senate, aud, as Sscre- |
tary Of State, dealing with the greatest question
Of his age, and assigning the proper part n foreign
affairs to his country, he must: by deeds, verify the
promise Of his declarations of 1924. lie can, if he |
please, have the honor Of using the opportunity
Of the Cuban Intervention as to finish the column \
Of his own fame, and place it immoveably in the re-
publican edifce which viii inevitably include all |
nations The Creek sRec,h Is but one Of many
pledges be has given to his country. His Panama
mission speech is another; and his addresses and
letter. various phases Of the Hungarian rebellioa
are pledges which, with logic welded to eoquence,
are made alike to the present age, and also 10 pos
teity.
We desire him to lay another corner stone than
Inc corner stone Of a capitol, or the mausoloum
bis own name and greatness. Lot him now seize /
he occasion to iniugurae the ,ature f,reign policy
e the United Sta.es. II he will remember and
'racti,e upon hi own argument, always true, (sud
iree its date, more than an argument, because /
now deU UOnstration), the interests aud duties Of
he republic are cafe in his hands. We are sais-
led that we have not exaggerated the Importance,
Tor mistaken The nature Of the crisis before us,
md We hops that viii not psss away ia vain, nor in
