The Cass County Republican. [volume] (Dowagiac, Mich.) 18??-1880, 1859-01-13

The National Intelligercer of Satur-
datshas ! long and elaborate history Of
the Monroe Doctrine, concluding thus:
We have thus epdeavored to lay be-
fore our readers faithful history OF
much mooted topic in American poll
tics. Let rs briefly recapltulate the
points we have, as we think, estab-
iished beyond successful controversy.
l. That the Monroe declaration Of
1923, in both its phases, bad its -
in the changed, re'rt;ans and new re-
sponsibilitiesy imposed on the several
States Of the American continents aris-
ing, especially from the emancipation of
the Spanish Colonies, and rendering it
conductive to the interest of all that
the American Continents should not
be subject to future colonization by
any European power as waste and un-
occupied territory; and that no foreign
State or States sshotld be allowed to
intervene in the domestic affairs OF
any American people for the purpose
of 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 to meet a particu-
lar contingency of events, and there
fore passed away with the occasion
which called it forth. ass..9
8. That the Monroe doctrine, IN so
far as it relates to the colonization of
the American Continent by any Euro
pean Power, was not attended to bind
the United States to guard the terrific
nv of the New World from such occu-
patton by European States; but acas
intended to indicate, as an important
principle of American public policy,
that sseach State should guard by its
own means against the establishment
of any future European colony" with
in the jurisdiction of its flag. That is,
the American Continents were no
longer held open to colonization as di-
rrelict territory, capable Of occupation
by right of discovery and settlement.
A. That the Monroe doctrine" was
not in any proper sense IA pledge"
and as.such' was especially discal ded
by the Democratic party. a = a7o
The current Interpretation of the
"Monroe doctrine has, therefore, no
foundation in the truth of history; and
If defended at all, must be defended
on its intrinsic merits, as a proposition
wholly distinct and different from that
which was conceived by its author or
affirmed by its first promulgator, whose
destiny it has been, to give his honored
name to a principle for which he never
contented.

Michigan Legislature.

The Legislature Of our State convened
at Lansing on Wednesday, and organ
lied by choosing the following officers /:
SENATE.-For Secretary, A. B. Tur-
ner, of Grand Rapids; Enrolling Clerk,
w. w. Bartlett, of Tuscola; Surgent-
alarms, E. Webb, of Hillsdale.
HOUSE. = For Speaker, Henry A.
Shaw, Of Eaton County; Clerk, G. v.
DeLand, Of Jackson Enrolling Clerk,
w. A. Hull, of Livingston; Sergeant
alarms, c. H. Larzelere, OF Lenawee.
AS yet, but very little business has
been done in either House. The time
has been mostly taken up by the ap-
pointment of committees, referring the
message of Gov. Wisner, DC. A num-
Der of important petitions have been
presented, among which we notice a
number for revision of the Constitu.
ton so.that all citizens may enjoy equa
political rights, and that women. may

ADOwA G1AC:
Message of the Retiring and Incoming
Vnf Governors.

ACSc<SC
i If0fI Governors.
We present in to-day's Republican
the message of the retiring and incom-
ing Governor. The message of Gov.
Bingham is an interesting, able and
statesmanlike document. The portion
of the message which treats of the
State financesswilI be entirely satisfac-
tory, and places the Republican Admin
fistration of the State affairs in a point
of view highly creditable to the outgo-
ing officers. twill besseen by peru
sal of the message, that the credit OF
the State was never, comparatively, in
so good a condition, as at the present
time, and shows the superior manage
ment of the Republican administration
of the fiscal concerns of government
over their predecessors. His recon-
mendations, based upon practical
experience and intelligent sagacity, will
meet the careful consideration of both
Legislature and people.
The manner in which Gov. Wisner
approaches his responsible duties, for
chilly demonstrates the high capacity
and enlightened judgment which di-
rected the attention Of the people to-
wards him, as one eminently fit to sue
coed his predecessor in the Chief
Magistracy of Michigan. The views
he exhibits of the character of the
State, its necessities, and the means
needed for the Development of its vast
resources, indicate large and compre-
hensive craftsmanship. Nor is he in
vested merely.with q capacity to under
stand the duties of his position. No
one can read his first message without
approaching its high tone, and the
frankness and clearness with which he
presents his recommendations. His
suggestions in reference to our indebt-
edness, to our educational system, and
the means employed for the prevention
of crime and the reformation of crimi-
nails, commend themselves by their
justice and sound policy, to the appro-
baton of every citizen. That large
and influential class of our people con-
nected with the mechanic interests,
will read Governor Wisner's views
regarding the occupation of convicts in
the State Prison, with especial satisfac
ton. @
Gov. Wisner, we are glad to see
recommends the early passage of :
Registry Law, and it is to be hoped
that the Legislature will soon carry this
recommendation into practical effect
The recommendations of the Governor
in reference to the appointment of q
State Geologist, the Railroad grants
the Swamp Lands, the change in the
compensation to Judges of Probate
the military sy stem, and the change
from biennial to yearly sessions of the
Legislature, are well deserving the
attention of our whole people, and will
doubtless, receive the careful consider
alton of the Legislature.
We leave the two messages to the
judgment of the people, and to the
cordial satisfaction with which they
will be received by every member o
the Republican party. e. r. ,s -,

DIR. MLANEIs CELEBRATED VERMI-

New York, Nov. 20, $50.
Knowing from experience, the valua-
BILE qualities of DIR. M'Lane's Vermi-
fuge and Liver Pills, prepared by Flem-
ing Bros, Pittsburgh, have for some
time back considered it my duty, and
made it my business, to make those ar
ticles known wherever / went among
my friends. A short time ago / be-
came acquainted with a young girl, who
seemed troubled with worms and liver
complaint at the same time, and had
been suffering for some two months.
Through my pursasion she purchased
one bottle of DIR. M'Lane's Vermifuge,
and one box of Liver Pills, which she
took according to directions. The re-
suit was she passed large quantity OF
worms, and thinks that one box more
of the Pills will restore her to perfect
health. Her name and residence can
be learned by calling on f. L. Theall,
Druggist, corner of Rutger and Mon
roe streets. 9-f7e flsr sai.fts-f -

ask for DIR. McLane's celebrated Yer

fuge, also his celebrated Liver Pills can
now be had at all respectable drug

Who is at Faultl

A. II: II. Stuart, of Virginia, published
an excellent letter at Richmond. in tbar
State, few weeks ago. MANY of hi,
views are just ard tersely put.
Sectionalism he condemns, as we al
do, though he charges Republicans with
being sectional. yet he fixes the blame IN
the right quarter. Hear him, as he speaks
OF Democracy:
Losing sight of all the great Industrial
interests OF the country, and protesting
to be the exclusive guardian of the pecu.
liar institution of the South, the Democ-
racy has ADOPTED as its cardinal measures
the acquisition of Cuba, per [as AIT nefas .
the repeal of the laws prohibiting the
African slave trade the seizure Of So.
nora and chihuahua by force of arms :
and the invasion and occupation BY law.

but defeneeless neighbors of Central
America.
At home we find the same party. at
one session of Congress, repeating that
great measure of pacifcation-the Mis-
souri, Compromise-(the repeal of which
the Virginia Legislature had pledged it.
self. but few years before, to resist at
all hazards and to the last extremity, and
affirming, as fundamental article of their
faith, the absence Of all constitutional
power in Congress to intervene in the
Territories for or against Slavery y and,
at the next session, we have seen the same
party attempting, BY the Intervention of
Congress, to force the Lecompton Con-
stitution on the people of Kansas, in OPP
position to their almost unanimous wish
Defeated in this Ubiquitous measure, they
now, in the face of their former dogma of
non-intervention, demand that Congress
shall pass laws repeating the acts of the
Territorial Legislature, and substantially
establishing, by Congressional Legislation,
Slavery in the Territories.
What confidence can be placed in a
party thus regardless of its own plighted
faith, and of all the obligations of the
Constitution, and of common honesty
Is it matter of surprise that measures
like these should have strengthened the
hands of the Republican party at the
North. and caused the people of that part
of the country to believe that an institu-
ton which leads to conduct like this is
inimicai to the nation %
What more DO Republicans than Mr..
Stuart has done in this letter? They
oppose the Democracy upon the same
grounds that he opposes it. They arraign
It as he -arraigns it. They condemn it for
what lac deAounces it. 1t is not wholly
j asst or logical. then, for Mr.. Stuart to
declare Repablicaaism sectional. because
it opposes the sectional policy Of Democ-
racy. Stuart's letter is liberal in tone,
and must produce a decided effect upon
every gust minded FirginiaR-
