From the moment of the establishment Of our
free Constitution, the civilized world has been
convuiscd by revolutions i'll the interests of de-
mocracy OF of monarchy; hat through all those
revolutions the United States have wisely and
firmly refused to become propagandists of repub-
icanism. It is the only government suited to our
conditions; but VIC have never sought to impose it
on others; and we have consistently followed the
advice Of Washington to recommend it only by the
careful preservation and prudent Of the bless
ing, During all the intervening, period the policy
Of European Powers and Of the United States has,
on the whole, been harmonious. Twice, indeed,
rumors of the invasion of some parts of America,

predecessors have

ference. On both occasions the remonstrancc of
viction, on the part of European Governments,
that the system Of non-interference and mutual
abstinence from propagandism was the true rule
for the two hcmisphcrcs. Since those times VIC
have advanced i'll wealth and power; but we retain
! the same purpose to leave the nations Of Europe
to choose their OWL dynasties and form their own
ton may justly demand Il corresponding modern
, ton. We should regard it as great calamity to
to the peace of the world should any Europeau
Power challenge the American people, as it were,
to the defence of rcpublicanism against foreign
! interference We cannot forcsec and are unwilling
to consider what opportunities might present
themselves, what combinations might offer to pro-
tect ourselves against designs imicai to our form
of government. The United States desire to act
in the future as they have acted heretofore;
they will be driven from that course but by
the aggression of European Powers; and we rely
on the wisdom and justice of those Powers to res
pect the system of non-interfcrence which has 30
!, long been sanctioned by time, and which, by its
, good results, has approved itself to both con-
| tinents.
