FaG.NoG.-A correspondent wants TO

answer the question as to its special intro

The Monroe Doctrine.

6 we are correct IL taking il as true from
the teleciam, that President GRANT has
sought oy diplomatic correspondence with
IT,. European Governments to learn their
oauions with regard 10 Intervention by our
Government in the afflirs of Cuba, then we
may say that the " MONROE doctrine is i'm
periled if not altogether abandoned; and
that if in any communication to Them any
thing is said about the g MONROE doctrine"
it was very inappropriate, because those Co.
-vernments, being absolutely Invited to con-
slider "affa!rs Of the New World" they are
invited to do exactly the thing which the
|'MoNRoE doctrine" proposed to prohibit
4. e., the extension Of thei1 system of inter.
ference to any part Of this hemisphere.
The subject is one of very considerable in.
terest, and NE suppose that one OF the earl
lest steps Of Congress after its resssemblng
will be to inquire into it. We should know
exactly what action has been taken and how
far that " doctrine" which the nation seemed
to have unanimously adopted, has been com:
promised. If we are to stand firmly upon

rendered nullity by the ambition of our
Government to become partner in the
school OF European diplomacy we should
know that. In the latter event, our foreign
relations are greatly changed. We shall
have tormed q closer relation with the
Old World, and have repudiated net
only the idea of interdictiug European iC.
reference with the affairs of this hemi.
sphere, but We shall have repudiated the
wise cou1sels of WASHINGTON and Revelu-
tionary fathers aud embarked in the policy
OF entangling ourselves in the broils of Eu-
rope; for We can hardly suppose any admin
istration SO absurdy impollic as to tender to
European Kingdoms the invitation to inter
fere in this hemisphere without expecting
the reciprocal civility Of being asked to take
hand at the European conferences. In thai
case our political cat will have the complais.
ant satisfaction OF being possessed of very
long Italian advantage much more orna'
mental than useful, and one that may bring
some unexpected trouble upon Us.
