THE New ERA IN OUR FoRElcS Policy.
in the course Of his remarks, Yesterday
on the Ingraham resolutions, Mr.. Bayly, of
Virginia Incidentally stated that Commander
Ingrahams manner in the koszta affair, and
the manner in which it was responded to by
the Government of the United States, marked
the beginning of new era in the history of
American policy-an era to be distinguished
by radical change in our bearing towards the
governments of the Old World. He contend
ed that we had heretofore been plaintiff in all
cases in issue between them and ourselves
Or, in other words, that we had been the ag-
gres<ed in all cases of international difficulties,
in which we had been involved with them.-
Ills point, in making these remarks, was to il
lustrate the fact, that up to this time, we owe
little or nothing for the progress of onr inter-
ests abroad, to the boldness and energy with
which our foreign relations have been managed.
All this is true to the letter. Our public func-
tionaries abroad have been under their instruc.
tons, necessarily more ofa lliudrance than an
incentive and powerful aid to the spread of our
foreign commerce, and to rich returns from it.
We have, in most cases, carried the non-intcr-
ference doctrine lo~the extent Of failing 10 in
terfere in cases at all doubtful, to protect our
own people and their interests in issue.
Mr. Bayly, in the matter Of our foreign poll
cy, pridcs himself evidently upon his conserva
tism. He jealously guards, lin the discharge
of the functions Of his position Of Chairman
of the Committee on foreign affairs,) against
permitting the House to fall into the grave cr-
ror of encouraging filibustcring. Yet he
comes forward, as on this OCCASION to affirm
the necessity Of the change in our bearings to-
wards other governments 1t gives US pleas.
ure to note this apparent change in his views;
because in his position, his views arc of great
importance to the business interests of the
country, whose prosperity is more or less in
volved in the vigor and energy with which our
foreign affairs are managed. The ko*zta letter
of the State Department, exhibiting to the
world, in bold relief the fact, that the Execu
tive branch of the Government of the United
States had already turned over new leaf
Yet it was questionable how far the country
might calculate upon Congress in the matter,
as energeticaly seconding the emphatic foreign
policy enunciated in that State paper.
