in the closing portions of it, which devoted TO the
Cuban ques,ion-as exploding efectualy and putting 10
en- shame the charge OF "fllibusterism" with which
he has been often and waaionly assailed. The
most signal and conclusive efutaon OF all such Islander
found in the manly, well guarded, and staesmanlike
declarations which express. the most precise terms the
whole scope and OF the policy of the distinguished
senator in relation to the island OF Cuba.
In regard OF the positions and illustrations en-
braced in Mr.. Douglass cogent and searching
analysis of the policy OF the country in past years its
bearing upon the maintenance of the Monroe doctrine
there may perhaps be found in the democratic party soma
difference OF opinion. But no intelligent reader will fail
10 remark the force with which the honorable senator
vndcaes the great principle Of American policy for The
American continent the cardinal doctrine foreign

gravest responsibility, ne has always adhered with
