AFFAIRS WITH rRAScE-nrE MEXICAN QUESTION.
From tho moment Of tho establishment Of
our free Constitution. the civilized world has
been couTdls6d BY revolutions mi tho interests
Of democracy or OF monarchy; but through
all those revolutions tho United States have
wisely and firmly refused to become propagan.
dis,s Of rcpublicanisin., IL - the only govern.
ment saitsf % our Sohdiiio1; but wo have
never sought to impose it on Others; and We
have consistently followed the advice Of Wash.
ington to recommend it only by the careful
preservation and prudent uso Of tho blessing.
During all the interv ming period tho policy
Of European Powers and'of the United States
has. on the whole, been harmonious. Twice,
indeed, ruuiors Of the invasion Of some parts
Of America, in tho interest Of monarchy, have
prevailed; twice my predecessors have had od-
cisionA to announce tie views OF this nation in
respect to such interference. 'it' ''1oh $500
% Onsb both occasions the romonstrance OF tho
" ultou paws Nao TcslrCscus tEutn ucop Cou~
yiction, on the part Of European governments,
that the system Of non.intcriercnce and mu-
tuai abstinence from propagandism was the
ttusrulc for tho two bemisplietcs. Since those
times NO have advanced in wealth and powor
but wo retain the same urposs to leave tho ma
tions Of Europe to choose their own dynastics
and form their own systems Of government.
This consistent moderation may justly demand
. corresponding moderation. We should rc
gard i as y great calamity to ourselves, 70 the
cause OF good government, and to tho peace Of
the world; should any European Power chal
lengc the American people, as 1t 'wero, to tho
deleuco Of republicanisn against Ioroign inter
ference. We cannot foreseo and are unwilling
to consider what opportunities might. present
themselves, what combinations might offer to
protect ourselves against designs inimical 70 our
form OF government. Tho United States do
sire to act in tho future ~ they hare ever acted
heretofore; they never will DO driven from that
course but by the aggression OF European Pow.
ers !. and we rely on the wisdom and justice Of
thosa Powers to respect tho systom ,of non.in.
terterence which has 80 long been sanctioned by
time, and which, by its good results, has up
proved itself to both continents.
