tional development ON this Continent, and the
intimations and even threats of serious COM
pllcations that were to result from it have
proved as idle as the summer breeze. That
policy was adapted to its era and has consum-
mated its work. 1t is no longer a question OF
founding new colonies or extending European
influence over old ones. The colonies have
become nations, and national development has
brought new needs and new demands. The
wonderful prosperity of the American people
under our system of union has for long time
given impulse to spirit of imitation in the
countries south Of us, and failure to attain the
same results is now developing desire to
participate in our scheme of government and
the material advantages which it brings.
This development is giving rise to coun-
teracting spirit among the partisans of Euro
pean rule and European influence. Wherever
we find the one we encounter the other, and
at this moment both are working with remark
able activity in the islands of the American
Mediterranean. There the European idea
takes the shape of Stree trade Antilles, con-
federated under European protection and
which shall mediate for the independence Of
Cuba" 1t is claimed by the partisans of this
movement that the enormous debt of the
United States will infict an unbearable taxa
tion, while our high and protective
tariff will destroy their trade and
agriculture. The fallacy is an evident one
but yet in the hands of skilful politicians and
diplO ticfs nd u,ifb nd
argument, it will produce effects which, for a
long series of years to come, will be felt to our
prejudice. 1t is likely to be the more successful
from the indefinite form and aim of the pro-
American feeling No one can tell what is
the best shape for it to take On one side we
find protectorate to be the controlling form,
while elsewhere it takes the equivocal name of
annexation.
The action of our government should be
addressed to the removal of these doubts and
of this misapplication of terms. 1t is not pur-
chase; it is not acquisition; it is not annexa-
tion. The true question for the nationalities
south of us is the pure and simple question Of
admission to our Union. In this shape private
feelings and public rights are respected and
preserved. Equality before the law is its
pedestal, and the preservation of the right of
local legislation for local needs is the column
of the argument. Herein lies the great impor-
tance of the st. Domingo question as presented
to us to-day. 1t will be the formula for the
great national growth which is the sequence of
the Monroe doctrine. 1t will consign fibus-
terism and territorial purchase alike to the
dead past. For these reasons it should be
consigned to the ablest hands in the govern
ment, and when presented to Congress it
should be accompanied by an expression of
our national policy as consonant with the
feeling of the American people to-day as the
expression Of President Monroe was conso-
nant with our national feeling fifty years ago.

The Fair and the City.

The approaching State Fair will be an
event of very great interest and profit to
the city of Richmond. In every respect its
blessings will be great, and distributed with
impartialty and harmony amongst all classes
and pursuits in country and in town. 1t
will do more to revive public hope and
energy than any occurrence save that Of the
restoration of the State to the Union.
Shall the occasion be one of all possible
ccldt, That rests with the city Of Rich
mond. In order to put everything in order
for the proper protection from the weather
and the proper display Of things on cXhibi-
ton the Society is compelled to have $4,000
more than they have been able TO raise.
For this they look to the city, and the city
ought to respond promptly and favorably.
The Council have been fully informed OF
the facts, and have been made acquainted
with all the improvements that are required.
We are gratiied to learn that they acknow-
ledge the necessity Of these improvements
and are disposed to aid the Society on the
ground of the deep interest the city has in
the Fair. That interest may he understood
when we say that three OF the cities in the
State would readily give the $4,000 tc get
the Fair--indeed, if it were up to the highest
bidder probably $4,000 would be paid for it.
The sum proposed to be subscribed will
be returned to the city in thirty days-nay,
Guadrupled. Certainly there can be no
hesitation about SO plain matte, and we
are pleased TO learn that the Council is ia
vorably inclined to vote the sum.
