PROPOSE to publish in the city of Washington,

Q! the Democratic Republican purtyQ tie CriteR States
1t does not propose to be the organ Of any department
OF the Government, except in far independent
maintenance ofthe doctrines of that party may repre-
sent its opinions and express its views.
1t viii not be ambitious to commend itself to the
people by blind iattcry of their rulers II Will seek
public support by the bold avowal of the sentiments
Which are common to the genuine Democracy of the
Union; and by the condemnation OF all such as may
conflict with them, from whatever qarer they may
come. II viii seek 10 be (and ii viii cndcavor to de-
ser me tlte) the organ OF the Detocratlc party OF
The SeTtqei will 1uaai,i, as a Fundamental truth
OF that great party, that the States formed the Union
between them by the ratification Of the Constitution
a compact; by which also they created the Federal
Government, and delegated to il, their common
agent, the powers expressly specified IN it, with
explicit reservation of all others the States,
their separate governments The exercise Of any
powers beyond those thus delegated il therefore
usurpation of the reserved authority of the States by
tic agent of their own creation.
The Seitilei will uphold and decnd the Union upon
the basis of the rights of the Statcsuncr the Cotist
tution-and thus by sedulousy guarding the latter it
the former.
With Regard to the exercise of the powers Of the
Federal Government the Sentinel will take the
principles Of its action thnt Congress shall exercise
power which has not been delegated by the Consttu-
ton according to strict and fair Interpretation of
lis language and sprit and that 1t shall not seek to
attain indirectly object through the exercise of
constitutional p0tCGr for the direct attainment of (which
it has delegation Of 0Icer In other words, all pow
exercised must be clearly granted and all granted
powers must be used for purpose except such Is
clearly intended by the Constitution.
In respect the internal administration of the
Government the Sentinel will sustain the settled poll
CIV of the Democratic party 1t will labor TO incucatc
this cardinal doctrine of Democratic internal policy
that this Government will best promote the freedom
and prosperity of the people of the States by being
less ambitious to exercise power ana more anxious to
preserve liberty; and by leaving to the individual
States the management of all their domestic concerns
while it contents itself with guarding the Confcderacy
from external violence and directing the foreign pol
icy of the country to the promotion of the common
rights and honor of the States composing it.
The Sentinel will advocate such progressive foreign
policy will suit itself to the exi@cncies and cores
pond with the expanding interests Of the country
That policy should be energetic and decided but
should temper irnncss with lberality, and make its
highest ends consist with the strctcst principles OF
Justice The real interests of the country upon each
occasion demanding attention will be its guide in the
course the Sentinel will pursue.
The national policy of the world in this rc is cs-
scutialy aggressive In the growing OF weak
OF some of the nations of the Old World and the
ambitious rcstlcssncss of others, common motive to
colonial extension has developed itself.
Our settled determination rcpcl interference from
abroad with our own domestic concerns will prompt
to avoid it in the affairs of other countries unless
by their fore gn or colonial policy our peace should
b. threatened security endangered, inter
invaded For when the selfish interests of other
nations prompt foreign or colonial policy which in
frugcs upon rights and places in the pathway of
our commerce dangerous and untrcndly rival, such
policy must be resisted by rcInonstrancc, and II
need be by war.
our foreign policy should indeed be defensive; but
to be property dgcsire it must sometimes be APPARENT
iy aggressive. Our Administration should be yigilant
wurctlfui and energetic. The world Is full of i'm
porIt movements. commercial and political, deeply
concerning American trade and American power
1t Is time VIC had an American foreign policy. We
mus have it, Wccannut avoid it if We would. We
have large interests and greater stake in the world
and its destiny than every other people. We occupy
the best portion OF continent with no ncighbors but

dependencies, is washed by the two great the

and more essential civilized life and to human pro-

and foreign commerce more extended than those OF
any other people living under one government.
less i'll its yet hidden wealth Is nj our cet European
trade seeks the great East through avenues which are
our doors, must be made through our own linn
it's Europe, Asia, Africa, and the isles OF the sea,
lying all around us, look to the rising power,
through thcagcncy of whose example, and cvcrwidcn
ing and extending, though peaceful influences, the
blessings of liberty, civilization, and religion, are
destined to triumph the barbarism and supcrst
tion Of the millions of the world And shall such a
people refuse lay bold upon their destiny and act
upon the high mission to which it Is called A mis-
sion full of hope, though so laden with response
bilitv. which, if properly directed, must make our
COntedcracy the barbingcr of peace to the world
well as the peaceful arbiter of its destiny.
The Sentinel will, therefore, advocate bold and
earnest foreign policy, such rs the condition OF the
country demands, but it will advocate 1t under the
flag OF the COlDtTU-nOwncrG else us foreign polCS

liberal and magnanimuus TO the rights OF others, and
