HOW THE NORTH CONQUERED THE SOUTH.
Iti gieat mistake TO suppose, or to say, thatthe
diplomatic correspondence Ot our Government with
France ia regard to Mexican ailarS when II Is sent
i'm TO Congress will show that our Government has
M no time had anv purpose or thought of abandon
ing the Monroe doctrine. On the other hand tnat
correspondence will show that the Monroe doctrine
was abandoned by the Government IN lS6l ana
1862, when Napoleon first began the execution oil
his designs in Mexico, and communicated those de-
siisus 10 Us The Government clearly perceived at
that time that if declared our firm determination
then to uphold the Monroe doctrine and not to per-
mt the establishment OF monarchy IN Mexico,
] tbot Napoleon would recognize the Southern Con-
GrIaracy and would tlen, after assisting the South
To Gain her independence, establish monarchy III
Mexico and enter into an alliance with the southern

! through Mr. DaytOn's diplomatic correspondence IN
! lSE2 and 1868; while on the other mana, II we
| Welded tG what seemed military necessity, gave
| tacit consent IL NapOleOn's operations against
Mexico and said nothing about the Monroe doctrine,
w, would thereby secure NapOlcOn's neutrality and
would he able to conquer the South, assert and l.
| defy contradiction, that this alternative was con
sered at several successive Cabinet meetings, IN the
Fall uul Winter of 1861, and that the latter was de-
| lberately chosen. II was deliberately decided Dy
Tin, Government that the Monroe doctrine should he
| sacrificed in order that We might be able To whip
the south" We see the result to-day in the firm es-

/ the Government must have foreseen. The only al
tentative lett 10 us now is 10 recognize that empire
