/ | VIII only recall to your memory the mes
81 re Of President Monroe, when he clearly stated
that he United States would take up arms TO
protect the American Spanish colonies, now
free Republics, should the called Holy (rather
| unh3ly) Alliance make an attempt either to aid
Spain, and reduce The new American Republics
to their ancient colonial state, or to compel them
TO adopt political systems more conforniable to
the policy and views OF that Alliance. | en-
treat you to mark we'll, gentlemen, not only the
forced introduction Of Monarchial Govern
mcnts but in general the interference Of for
| cign powers in the contest for independence of
the Spanish Colonies, was declared sufficient
motive for the United States TO protect the
natural right ofthose nations to dispose of them
selves.
beg leave to desire you to remember that
this declaration of President Monroe was not
only approved and confirmed by the people Of
the U:Ited States, but that Great Britain itself
joined The united States in the declaration of this
decision and this policy.
further recall TO your norv the instruc-
tons gwen in lS26 TO your Envoys to the Con-
rress of Panama, Richard Anderson, and John
Sergeant, where it is clearly stated, that the
United States would have opposed, with their
whole force, the interference of Continental
Powers with that struggle for independence
1t is true that the declaration to 90 even to
war, TO protect the independence Of foreign
States againstfore Interference, was not only
restricted to the Continent of North America;
but President Monroe declares in his message
that the United States can have no concern in
European struggles, being distant and eparated
from Europe by the great Atlantic Oceau.
But beg leave to remark that this iudifTer-
encc toEu:np al C ncerns is a g lin mltter,not of

tivcs of which have, by the lapse of time, en-
tirely disappeared; SO much that the balance
even turned TO the opposite side.
President Monroe mentions distance mo-
tive of the above stated distinction. Well since
the prodi yious development of your Fulton S
glorious invention, distance is blo.teI out of the
dictionary, or rather replaced by the word time
Distance is no more calculated by miles but by
hours. And Eciag SO, Europe is of course less
distant from you than the greater part Of the
/ American Continent. But, let even the word
distance be taken in nominal sensc-Europe is
nearer TO you than the greatest part ofthe Amer
| icanContincnt, yea, even nearer than perhaps
some part Of your own TEL rito-y.
President Monroe's second motive is, that
you are separated from Europe by the Atlantic
| Now, at the present time, and in the present
condition of navigation, the Atlantic is no sep
aration, but rathera connecting benefit, the IA

which brings the interest of Europe home to
you, connecting You with it with every tie of
moral as well as material interest
! 1t is chiefly in New York that fell induced
to speak so, because New York is inumcrable
ties connected with Europe, more connected than
several parts of Europe itself.
1t is the agricultural interest Of this Sgreat
country, which chiefly wants an outlet, and
market. Now it is far more to Europe than the
American Continent to which you have to look,
in that respect. This very circumstance can
not allow you to remain Indifferent to the fate
of freedom on the European Continent, because
be sure, gentlemen, and let me have spoken
this chiefly to the gentlemen, Of trade should
Absolutism gain ground in Europe, it Wilt
must, make every possible obstacle to the
mercal intercourse of Republican America, be-
cause commercial intercourse is the only power
ful t0mocotirc Of principles, and be sure the
victory of Absolutism on the European Con-
tnent will in no quarter have no more injurious
| national consequence, than in the vast extent
| of your agricultural and commercial interests
Then why not prevent it-whe yet there is
| a possibility to do SO with none, or comparative
small sacrifices, rather than To abide that fatal
| catastrophe, and to mourn the immense sacrifices
it would then cost?
| Even ia political considerations nova days,
| yor have stronger motives TO feel intercs' ed in
| the fate of Europe tl,ln in the fate Of The
Central or Southern parts of America. What
| ever may happen in the institutions of these
| parts, you are to- powerful to see your own in
s'i'utons affected by it. But let Europe become
abso!utstical, as without The restoration Of Hun
gary to lis independence, and the freedom of
| Italy strongly connected with Hungary, to be
| sure it willard your children will see those
words, which your National Government spoke
in 1898, fulfilled larger scale thln they
were meant, that sthc absolut;on of Europe will
not be appcascd until every vestige of human
| freedom had been oblterated even here" And
oh do not rely too fondly upon YOUR power 1t
| is great, TO be sure. YDu have not to fear
whatever single power on earth but look to
| history. Ancicn- Rome has fallen, and mighty
| empires have vanished from earth Let not
the enemies of freedom grow too strong. Vic
torious over Europe, and then united, they
would be too strong even for you And be
sure, they hate you with an internal hatred
They must hate you even more than me. They
consider you their most dangerous oppo-
nents. Abso!usm cannot TRANQUILITY sleep
while the Republican, principle has such nigh
ty representative as your court is.
Yes, gentemcn; it was the fear from the po-
it:cal reaction OF Absoutistic principles, which
induced your great siatcsmcn,-t',at principle
Which they prutt'ssad for Central aud Southern
America, not to extend 10 Europ, also, and b !
no means the publicly avowcd feeble motives
Every manifestation Of yonr public life out Of
those times shows that am right to say So
Europe's nations were, about 1923, in such
degraded situation that indeed you must have
felt anxious not to come into any political
tact with that pestilential atmosphere of Europe,
whoa, as MIR. Clay said 1918, in his speech
about the cmai cpation of South America,
"paris was transferred to St. Peersburgh"
But scarcely has, within wear later, the
Greek nation come in its contest to an impo.-
tant standing, which gave you hope that the
spirit of freedom is waking again, and at once
you abandoned your principle of political indif-
ference for Europe You know how your Gays
and your Webster spoke, us if really they were
speaking of my case. You know how your
citlzcns acted, in behalf Of that Struggle for lib
crty in that part Of Europe whch is more dis
tant than Hungary; and again, when Poland
fell you know wLat spirit pervadtd the United
States.
SO l have shown you how Washington S
