Whereas, We believe that the safety and
continuity Of republican institutions on this
| continent tmpcratively demands the recog-
milton and enforcement OF the Monroe doc
trine in all its length and breadth; that tor
rttorlal acquisition or ACKNOWLEDGMENT in
this quarter Of the world by foreign and
monarchical powers should not only be dis
countenanced, but should be discouraged
and prohibited by every means in our power;
that it is our duty as we'll as our interest to
establish and maintain the most friendly
diplomatic and commercial relations with
our sister republic, Mexico, with Gen.
trial and South America. to extend to them
such moral aid and sympathy as they may
need to protect Themselves from unrighteous
entertainments OF European powers upon
their territory, or otficious interference in
their internal governmental affairs, and
further. 1t necessary to maintain the suprem-
aoy Of the Monroe doctrine on this CONT
',ent, we should be prepared to make and
enforce the demands against whatever power
| may undertake to evade or disregard it.
Therefore, be it
Resolved, That copy of this preamble
and resolution be transmitted as represented

WHICH is to assemble at st. Louis on tho Ssh
day of June, 1883, for such recognition
thereof aud such action thereon rs the said
