We have the following by our
Washington correspondence Of the 10
and 18th insts.
"Thc Monroe doctrine is about to
be fully revived, and to become a
leading feature in the new President
ial campaign, as it almost did in the
last, is now clearly manifest, from the
signs of the times, the voice Of the
people, and the spirit Of the Press
The abrogation Of the Clayton Bulwer
treaty, which is sure thing, will be
the first grand step in this direction.
The contamination will leave our gov
eminent 'uncntangled,' and free to
adopt a new Central American and
Mexican policy, and the next grand
step will be to rcasserted in some shape
the Monroe Doctrine, towit: that
the American Continent, by the free
and Independent condition which they
have assumed and maintain, are hence
forth not to be considered as subjects
for differentiation by any European
Power and that we owe to candor
and to the amicablc relations existing
between the United States and those
Powers to declare that we should con-
slider any attempt on their part to ex-
tend their system to any portion ofthc

United States, is now looked upon as
certain, and almost as near at hand as
was that of Texas when the subject
was first preached and so magnificent

in politics in our country.
1t is generally thought that the
Paraguay Resolution will cause consid-
cradle discussion il the House. The
Colamcr Amendment, to strike out
the words 'and use such force which
was finally rejected in the Senate, is to
be introduced in the House and so
much will have to be said by the Rep
rcscntatives for the people about legis-
lating the war-making power to the
President that it is thought much
time will be consumed in the discour-
SEES, if the subject is not postponed I'M
til the next session.
As we have said before. very strong
effort is beng made in both houses OF
Congress for the rc-cstablishmcnt Of a
mail lnc of Ocean steamers, but the
bill that has been introduced to that
end, like the Pacific Railroad bill, lis eth
cr expressly or silently, to be postponed
until the first Monday in next Decem-
Der. The sentiment Of both houses on
the subject has been thoroughly can
vasscd and found to be against taking
any action on the subject during the
present session.
One yarn going the rounds of the
press about the acknowledged failure
and impracticability Of the Atlantic
Telegraph enterprise, is known here
