Charleston who refuses to acquiescc in their
demands: and unless the Democracy agree to
give them protection, Pennsylvania will
apostatizc to the Opposition in 1860. 1t is
barely possible that some aspirant of weak
mind and unstable principles, may he init
Undated by the threat the body of State
Rights Representatives i'll Congress will re-
pei it with contempt. The services Of the
Pennsylvania Democracy are not deprecia-
ted, but between even their alliance and at
tachment to the principles of the party, no
honest man will hesitate moment
Our associates in the Keystone State have
already been INDUCED to the utmost limit of
forbearance. They have been tolerated for
years i'll the open profession of heresy. We
permitted them to sacrifice Dallas for his in
trepid fidelity TO the principles of the party,
and we allowed them to promote Buchanan
because of his non-conformity to a cardinal
point of Democratic doctrine. These things
have been done for the protectionist Democ-
racy of Pennsylvania, and yet they have the
audacity to exact a still farther compromise
of principle. The demand is insufferable.-
The State-Rights Democracy might a. we'll
signify at once our determination to surren-
der nothing more to the partial interests of
our allies in Pennsylvania. If their service
is to be bought by betrayal of principle,
we prefer their antagonism to their associa-
ton. Between Black Republican Presi-
Il federal policy, we have very little choice.
Free-trade is of vital Importance to the pro-

Protection is another form of Abolitionism
and rather than be responsible for its impo-
sition, the representatives of the slavehold-
ing States would surrender the control of the
government. But we do not admit that the
vote of Pennsylvania is Indispensable to the
success of the Democratic party. The loss
involved in her detection would be more than
supplied by the support which freetrade
policy may propitiate in other quarters
If, after reading these two articles, any
one can tell what is tie doctrine Of the Dem

predict. at this stage of the affair, whether
the Tariff wing or the Anti-Tarif wing of

hostile attitude to each other, we should say
-"allies" though they be,-will prevail!
Some short time ago. the National lntell.

circumstances connected with the enuncia-
ton Of what is called the Monroe Doctrine"

leading Statesmen of the time. concerning it,,

lieve. pretty well satisfied Il large majority of
the public, that the color sought to be given
to this famous doctrine by certain parties in
our day, was not on it originally-and that,
in truth. Mr.. Monroe never intended that his
sentiments should be used to sustain the
views IF those who are at present, 'expand.
ing" them to suit their own purposes. We
gave an abstract of the article in the Nation
al lntelligencer to which we refer, at the time
it appeared. 1t is we'll, however, in the same
connection, to look at the European view of
the Monroe Doctrine, and to see what they
say on the other side of the Atlantic, con-
corning it and its results. Accordingly We
give an article from the London Times on the
subject. in which the matter is considered
much, we suppose, in the light in which it is
regarded generally in England
The appropriations for reporting the
speeches of the members of Congress, for the
Congressional Globe-and for miscellaneous
items, have been stricken out of the Legis-
lative, Judicial and Executive appropriation
bill, in Committee of the Whole, in the
