The Monroe Doctrine ofthe United States, In an
English Point OF View.
From the London Times, February II
The wisest and the most settled maxim of the poll
cy OF the United States derived from the founders OF
the Union, has hitherto been to abstain from intere-
in foreign affairs for the geographical position
Of the American people, the peculiar character OF
their political institutions, and their vast internal
resources and prospects, all conspire to relieve them
centuries from the mutual relations of the older
States of Europe. As this maxim Of the policy of
the United States is still professed by the great body
Of that people, it may justly excite some surprise
%al
affairs are the topics most frequently and most
warmly debated in the Legislature Of the Union
that even abstract principles and hypothetical cases
of foreign policy are raised in the Senate OF the
United States, as if the position Of the American
government in the world could be affected by resolu-
tons of this nature and that expressions are applied
these occasions to foreign countries which must
construed TO the letter, have an untoward effect on
the relations of the Union with other powers. But
in reality these exhibitions are chiefly intended for
some domestic and party purpose and the less they
are allowed to influence the opinion we entertain OF
the good sense OF the American people, the nearer
now in the Union favorite subject Of defamation
and of agitation. Mr.. Cass himself probably means
more in his harangues than that he is anxious to
establish character for democratic patriotism at the
expense of his discretion and his diplomacy, and to
run down the last remains of the wing party. The
French opposition in the Chamber OF Deputies used
to follow the same course on foreign questions and
to lay claim to exclusive patriotism and national
EplTlC Inc SpecCueS VI OdSS are Ouly lsSS mlo-
chevous because they will be less read.
Nevertheless, since it is the prevailing, and, we
think, the unfortunate, practice Of certain class of
politicians in the United States to make Of topics
and arguments calculated to mslead and exasperate
their fellow citizens the state Of their relations
with foreign countries we think IL due to the senti-
ments entertained in England towards the American
people to repudae share in these aspersions. If
there is nation in the world whose honor and whose
interests are at least secure from any shadow or
dream of aggression from without it certainly the
people of the United States. Is it not, then puerle
and wanton to excite apprehensions and resentment
which are devoid Of foundation that they only
be supported by such feversh inventions certain
y never crossed the brain of any European states
man? For it must be observed that the cry for re-
affirming what is called the Monroe doctrine, for
the exclusion of European influence from the CONT
nent OF America rests wholly at the present time on
these extravagant hypothesis. In 1928, when Mr..
Monroe first asserted this doctrine in his message to
Congress the case was widely different. The doctrine
Of Intervention had just been asserted and acted upon
by the the continental powers of Europe, in very
remarkable manner. The congresses Of Laybach and
Of Verona had proclaimed it; the French army had
entered Spain to enforce it. And as the principal
American colonies of Spain had just declared their
independence, there might be some ground to appre-
heId that the combined action OF the continental
courts would attempt to extend its influence to the
former colonial possessions of their allies. But Mr..
Cass can hardly have forgotten that in that cmer-
gency another voice was heard besides that Of Mr..
Monroe and of the United States; for Mr.. Canning
proclaimed with equal energy and authority that the
policy of England was for the independence and Ii
berry Of the New World.
Among other decisions which Mr.. Cass employs
his eloquence and influence to disseminate among his
c0untrymen, he asserts that every maritime nation
in Europe desires that every possible obstacle should
be interposed between the eastern and western por
tons Of this magnificent republican empire; and that
Nicaragua routes, Panama routes, &C., are SO many
denominations in their eyes, to be tolerated only till
they can be closed up by the occupation Of COM
handing positions" It is unnecessary to- remind
Mr. Cass but hope all his hearers had not forgot
ten, that the treaty signed by Sir Henry Bulwer and
Mr. Clayton, in 1850, was expressly intended to give
the most formal and perpetual assurance that could
be afforded by the British government of ts earnest
and constant desire to promote the construction Of
ship canal between the two oceans, and that both
governments did on that occasion voluntarily and
for ever renounce all intention Of occupying any po-
stons at all in connection with this passage 1t is
not certainly ON OR side or hv anY Marty OF Eng.
