Tie Monroe Doctrine.

The following extract from President
Monroe's annual message OF December
I'd, 1928, contains the assertion of that
policy in reference to the extension in
America of the monarchial system of gov
ernment, since known as 1.-The Monroe
Doctrine:"
EXTRACT FROM PRESIDENT MONROES AN
NUAL MESSAGE, DEC. 2, 1928.
''The political system of the allied
powers is essentially different in this re-
spect from that of America. This differ
ence proceeds from that which exists in
their respective governments. And to the
defence of our own, which has been
achieved by the loss of SO much blood and
treasure, and matured by the wisdom of
our most enlightened citizens, and under
which we have enjoyed unexampled felic-
ity, this whole nation is devoted. We
owe it, therefore, to candor and to the
amlcable relations existing between the
United States and those powers to declare
that we should consider any attempt on
their part to extend their system to any
portion of this hemisphere as dangerous to
our peace and safety. With the existing
colonies or dependencies of any European
power we have not interfered, and shall
not interfere. But with the governments
who have declared their independence and
maintained it, and whose independence
we have, on great considerations, and on
just principles acknowledged, we could
not view any interposition for the purpose
of opposing them, or controlling in any
manner, their destiny, by any European
power, in any other light than as the
manifestations of an unfriendly disposition
towards the United States.

This was an undeniable truth uttered
by Abraham Lincoln in one of his MESA
gee, and at that time We were; and still
are, forcibly impressed with its truth
When the rise and fall of the great West
crn Republic of the United States may
occupy the historic page, the name OF
Abraham Lincoln may stand III bold re-
lief at its downfall Whether his acts of
emancipation, confscation, trampling upon
the Constitution and the bill Of rights, &c,
were intended for historic fame, we know
not But his fame may be the fame of
'Erostratus the incendiary who burned the
beautiful temple of Diana at Ephesus.-
He was put to the torture to make him
dieclose the reasons of his conduct. He
\ confessed it was to give him a name
among posterity, lest he should escape
history. The states-General of Asia
made an order that his name should never
be mentioned, but the natural consequence
was, that he was mentioned by cotempo
rary historians, and his name handed
down 70 the present time. So the rascal
had his ends accomplished in spite of the
government of Asia.
1t is not for US to look into the dim
vista Of futurity, and tell what the histo-
rian may have to record, but one thing is
certain that our worthy President cannot
escape the pages Of history.

history of his times, we would begin it in
