REWARD FOR WATCHMAS's BATON
Owing 10 matter brought into the Mayors
Court on Saturday last, Mr. Mayo stated
that fine or dismissal from the service,
would be the consequence Of a watchman's
going into grog-shop after night fall, while
on duty, and also if one should be found
sleeping at his post.
Moreover the Mayor said that he would
give so reward for every watchman's baton

been taken from the Waterman while asleep
during hours OF duty. IL gentlemen who

ALEXANDRIA,:
WEDNESDAY MORNING. SEPTEMBER IS, 1859.

The Valley Democrat, the organ of the
Democracy Of the Tenth Legion, has an ar
ticle in its last issue from which We take the
following extract:
"There is no practical difference between
the doctrines of Seward and Douglas, for
both look to the exclusion of the property OF
Southern citizens from the Territories OF the
Union. There can be no middle ground for
the South. The alternative is presented OF
taking the Seward-Douglas doctrine, or the
doctrine of Gov. Wise and the Supreme
Court of the United States. Southern men
cannot longer be made to bow to expedlency.
Defeat is preferable on the platform OF Gov,
Wise TO triumph with Squatter-Soverelgnty
advocates. When the South surrenders her
interests, her destiny and vital being, into the
hands Of mere spoilsmen, and for party pur-
poses ignores her great constitutional rights,
that moment her doom is sealed, her honor
furnished, and she will sink into the sea of
infamy and disgrace, 'unwept, unhonored
and unsung."

THE MONROE pocrRINE.n

The National Intelligencer has an able
and elaborate review Of the origin and pur
port Of what was called the Monroe Doctrine.
The following are the points which il claims
70 have established in its examination Of the
subject
j. The Monroe declaration Of 1928, in
both its phases, had its origin in the changed
relations and new responsibilities imposed
on the several States of the American Con-
tinents arising especially from the emancipa-
tion Of the Spanish Colonies, and rendering
il conducive to the interest Of all that the
American Continents should not be subject
to future colonization by an European Pow.
er as waste and Unoccupied territory, and
that no Foreign State or States should be
allowed to intervene in the domestic affairs
Of any American people for the purpose 81
suppressing republican institutions.
2. That the Monroe declaration, in SO far
as it related to the threatened Intervention
Of the Holy Alliance in the concerns Of the
Spanish American States. was intended 10
meet particular contingency Of events, and
therefore passed away with the occasion
which called il forth.
8. That the Monroe doctrine, in so far as
il relates to the colonization Of tie American
Continents by any European Power. was not
intended to bind the United States 10 guard
the territory Of the new world from such oc-
cupation By the European States, but was
intended TO indicate, as an important princi.
pie Of American public policy that !" each
State should guard BY its own means against
the establishment Of any future European
colony within the Jurisdiction Of its flag.
That is. the American Continents were no
longer held open to colonization as derrlici
territory, capable Of occupation By right 81
discovery and settlement.
4. That the /. Monroe doctrine" was not
in any proper sense /" q pledge" and as such
was discarded by the Democratic party.
The current Interpretation Of the Nun.
roe doctrine" has, therefore, no foundation
IN the truth Of history; and If defended ii
al, must be defended on its intrinsic merits.
a. proposition wholly distinct and different
from that which was conceived BY its author
Or affirmed BY its first promulgator. whose
destiny il has been to give his honored name
to principle for which be never contended.e
