Whereas, VIC believe that the saf.ty and
continuity of republican institutions on this
continent imperatively demands the recog-
milton and enforcement Of the Monroe doc
trno in all its length ami breadth; that ter
rttorIal acquisition or a.grandi3enent in
this quarter Of the world bv foreign and
monarchical powers should not only be dts
countenanced. but should be discouraged
aud prohibited by every means In our power;
that it is our duty as well as our interest to
establish and maintain the mort friendly
diplomatic and commercial relations with
tral and South Anorica, to extend to them
such moral aid and aympathy rs they may
need to protect themselves from unrighteous
encronchments OF European powers upOn
their territory, or oftici0us inter ference in
their internal governmental affairs; and
further, II necessary to maintain the suprem-
acy of tho Monroe doctrine on this CONT
hent, We should be prepared to make and
RRattPrSa .ttls HgatRst y nc!
Therefore, be it
Resolved, That q copy of this preamble
to the national Democratic convention
