has. IN regard 20 the foreign policy openly Ss.'s
its hostility against the policy which the re,.rao.

Should the leading organs or the leaders N ~
victorious factions of the party which has AZ
claad It's hostility, dlsayow the hostile plation,
the question would be, which Of the factions MI
give the most favorable declaratonl
But if matters remain where the Platform of tAs
Convention have lett them it is clear that silence
is less dlscouragng than declared hostility.
But II seems to me necessary TO advise the q.
lent party that it should not rely too much on The
logical cODst quence Of this dilemma. For there
Of a trd is.u xiy hat h., q.
Zens Of America, who agree with the declaratn,
of Newark, should unite into third iudependess
party, and exert all their influence ON the election
OF members Of Congress, ana stand as phalanx
though unable to elect their own ca, ddate, bui
able to decide the election and the direction Of IN,
policy Of the Government.
do not say that this passive position is desir,.
bic, but say that II is possible. And, therefor,
it is the Ia * of those who sympathize with the
Newark declaration to get an authentic interpn-
tation OF the silence.
In this case these are the leading points which
| nay be- allowed to submit to your attention and
support:
One fact is clear: the princi ,les Of the leading
organ of this wing OF the silent party, which has
become at last Degatvsl, victorious ia the respec.
tive Convention. Ii is now the question: shall
these organs faithfully and manly cling to these
principles and shall they bind their support Of the
Ioninee 10 those principles or not II they do il,
then the question il solved which is the parry
which oppressed Europe most wishes 10 see veto
rous. Bat it they not do it, and il the leading
o guns Uf the party with the hostile platform, do
not dstwn the party Of isolation, then there il
nothing to b. done, than to concentrat. the forces
OF the independent party, aud To retain the con-
troll of the elections Ihare fuH reason 10 beiiere
that the leading organs OF the silent party, true
to their principles, will give favorable interprs.
taton of this silence.
|. That the United States, aware Of the neces.
sty to be power on earth. should not be salts
fed with an isolation which belongs 10 third-rate
powers, but should throw the weight of their posi-
ton into the scales during the approaching crisis
of the world, in codance with the principles d
the declaration of their principles, aud with the
gratitude they owe for received add THIS is the
direction. How far TO proceed IN this direction
tins remains question OF policy.
. That the United States should acknowledge
every Government proceeding from the will OF the
people, even before the last vct0ry-as they have
done in the case of the South American Republics
and grant to them all the commercial aud dlplo
matte tavors of an acknowledged Government
And therefore,
3. That they enforce their fleet in European
waters. in order to be able of protecting the com
merce OF the citizens with such popular govern
ments.
4. As the citizens of the United States are moi
tied to the SOIL but are free as it belongs there
e re to then principal right OF their individual
liberty to devote then symputbies To tne cause o
freedom, wherever they like; provided that the)
do not act aguiDst their allegiance OF the Untet
States, aud in consequence as it cannot belong
to the attributes OF Government To prevent thu
citizens in making use OF this individual right
therefore it can be claimed for the next Admin
istration TO eni,ree the social cd neut ralty aw'
OF 1913, but in such a way, that the Interpreta
ton should not curtail the Individual liberty VI
the citizens, as it is guaranteed by the Const-
tuition.
| have studied carefully the States document,
in question; and saw there. under the adminis
traIlUn OF President MONROE, an act passed under
the title "A Law forbldding the citizens OF the
United States to engage IN any hostile enterpnss
against The subjects OF II Government which was
on TENS OF peace and amty with the United
States" You zee that this il very different from
the support OF movement for freedom, so much
the more rs we see il from the contemporary mes
sages Of President MoSROE-that in the question
OF the South American Republics he has declared
such war long before the independence OF TIE
colony was acknowled TO be civil war, IN which
both parties are on the same footing regards
the United States and their citizens.
Those are the principles, my dear friends, which
should lead you, according to my humble opf'
ion, in the present crisis. And if you take INTO
kind consideration my 6equest, and exert your m
huence and active aid on behalf OF the moyemsns
for freedom in Europe, | can but assure you, m
my grateful farewell that there are hundreds q
thous ands in Europe who take those word'm
their device, which the other day, the Iiermaa
singers have sun as if from he depth Of nv near'
"And never shall rest the shield and the sper,
Till destroyed we see, and laid In the du'h
The enemies all =, A
Then may COB help me This is my OATH 'aa
this oath my farewell.
