doctrine, TO which this nation has been consis-
tent from the days Of Washington down, IL has
been that of non.interference in the internal at.

Europe, that it was necessary to maintain a
balance of power, the United States has always
protested silently Whatever adventures, first
casting off our protection, may have done, the
republic in IFS official capacity, has never inter
fered with the civil troubles OF other nations.
Even the temptation OF assisting oppressed peo.
pie to become free, has been resisted, over and
over again, in order to hold sacred the doctrine
of non-nerference.

means. The influence of this republic is al.
ready greater than that of any nation in the old

by the waste Of treasure, the demorazing ef-
fccts of war; or the sacrifice of hecatombs OF

The pen does battle for us everywhere and is
mightier than the sword. Since we asserted
our own freedom, seventy and six years ago
we have been at the bottom of every revolution
in Europe; and this without firing single can

we still exercise an influence, over the whole
continent of Europe, at which kings tremble
and oligarchs turn pale.
