al Government, and delegated 10 it, their o6ns-

Win an explicit reservation of all others tbs Staea
or TO their separate governments. Ihs exercise sf
any powers beyond Ihose thus delegated is thsrs-
fore usurpauon OF the reserved authority Ut The
States by the agent OF their own creation.
The Sentinel will upnold ana defend tho Union
upon the basis OF the ghts OF the States under the
Constitutions; and thus by sedulously guarding IIs
latter, it will the more eiIectuslly strengthen and
peTpeluate the former.
With regard 10 the exercise Of the powers Of tie
Federal Government, the sentinel will take Bs
principals OF its action that Congress shall exercise
no power which has not been delegated by the Len
sutut0n, according 10 strict and tair intsrpretG

Government the Sentinel will sustain the settled
/ policy of the Democratic Party. II win labor "
lnculcate the cardinal doctrine Of Democratic in
Iernal policy; that this Government will best pre-
mote the freedom and prosperity OF the people er
the States by being less aInbtions TO exercise pot
and more anxious TO preserve liberty, and by leav
ing the individual States the management of all
their domestic concerns, while il cont ;nts itself
with guarding the Contederacy from external via-
lence and directing the foreign policy OF the country

The Sentinel will advocate such a progressive for
egn policy MS will suit itself to the exirencies and
correspond with the demanding interests Of the coun-
| try. That policy should be energetic and decided;
but should temper hrmness with hberaiy, and make
It's highest ends consist with the sricest principals
| Of Justice. The real interests OF the country, uk-
on each occasion commanding attention, will bs iss
guide in the course the Sentinel will pursue.
The national policy OF the world in this age b
essentially aggressive. In the growing sonse 81
weakness of some oi the nations OF the Old World
and the ambitions restlessness OF others, a comnsn
motive 10 colonial extension has developed itself.
Our settled determination to repe intertsrsnee
| from abroad with our own domestic concerns will
prompt to avoid II in the affairs OF other countries.
unless, by their foreign colonial policy, peaes
should be threaend, security endangered, VI cut
interests invaded. For when the selfish interest Ot
other nations prompt aforeign or colonial policy,
which intri2ges upon our rights and places Ia the
pathway OF our commerce a dangerous and unirisnd-
ly rival, such policy must be resisted by reinoE-
STRANGE, and, ii need be, by war.
Our foreign policy should, indeed, be defensive;
but to be properly defensive, it must sometimes be
apparently aggressive. Our administration should
be vigilant, watchtul, and energetic. The world il
| fnll OF important movements, commercial and poit-
ical, deeply concerning American trade and Anne
rcan power. 1t is time we had an Americas for
eign policy. We must have it, We cannot avoid
it If we would. We have larger interests, and
greater stake in the world and its destiny than evsry
other people. We occupy the portion Of cotineni,
with no neighbors but colony, and worn 0at,
snarchical despotism. We the only people
whose own land, without colonial dependencies, IL
washed by the two great oceans OF the world OnE
agricultural productions more varied and more
sential to civilized life and human progress opy
mineral and manufacturing resources more vast our
facilities and capacity Tor internal and toregn com.
merce more extended than those OF any other people
living under government. A continent, 10 a
great extent unexplored and exhaustess in its yet
hidden wealth, is at feet European trade seeks

doors, or must be made through our own liinits

The Sentinel will therefore advocate bold and
earnest foreign policy, such the condition Of ths
country demands but it will advocate 1t under tl.4
