WASHINGTON CITY, Dec. 2l.-The senate
had debate yesterday on the question OF
.he recognition of the "United States of Bra
ell, all the Democrats, except Call. favoring
immediate recognition. and all the Repub-
iictns advocating a reference to the foreign
relations committee and "go slow policy.
One feature OF the debate, however was COM
mon 20 both Sides and that was that the
United States should make itself responsible
Tor the maintenance Of the republic when it
should be established The Democrats went
TO the extreme in their Interpretation Of the
Monroe doctrine, IL Morgan's speech was in
iorsed by them land it seemed to bel, and
desired to give notice that no change from
the present alleged status in Brazil would be
ermitted except in the further development
Df a republic.
Morgan on the Monroe Doctrine.
Morgan brought the matter up on the res
olution he offered Wednesday, formally rec
ognizlng the Brazilian republic He paid a
ugh compliment To the patriotism and good
ness Of the late Emperor Dom Pedro, and
then proceeded TO apply the Monroe doctrine
b the case He declared that the attitude of
The United State, in respect TO all the coun-
tries on the western hemisphere was a very
distinct one, aud had been reasserted upon
every opportune occasion from the date of
It's announcement down TO the last message
Of the president OF the United States He
| coinciled in the declaration made by Thomas
Jefferson that it was the business aud duty
OF the United States to proceed to make, to
| progress in making, aud ultimately to con-
summate in making of the Western hemis-
| phere the home of republican institutions,
and not the home OF despotic institutions
wanted Congress to Decide.
The question he wanted congress to decide
was whether Brazil was an empire or II re-
public-whether the house of Braganza or
the people OF Brazil were the depository of the
sovereign power of that state The answer
10 that question, while IL was perfectly clear
now, might become clouded by later events,
and he thought IL unwise to await these
later events. He wanted congress to an
nounoe the fact that the empire had disap-
peared in Brazil and that the republic exist
ell. II. after this day the imperial power
should reappear in Brazil that temperance
would be in the nature of new and fresh
power and the re-establiShment of the EN-
pire would be against the Monroe doctrine,
and in spite OF it. The congress Of the United
States had the absolute right TO recognize
the non-existence Of the empire and the ex-
istence OF the republic, and he desired to
have that recognition placed ON record

Views of sherman, Evarts. aud Ingalls,.
Sherman said that he sympathized with
the senator from Alabama, and hoped that
the recent movement in Brazil might lead to
the establishment OF tirm, strong. powerful
republic n kindred sister OF the republic OF
the United States. IL was a great event-one
OF the greatest events in modern times But
u question Of grave Importance arose, and
that question was whether the time had come
for congress to undertake 20 recognize this
| new power among the powers OF the world.
In view OF the fact that congress was just on
the verge Of the holidays he thought it would
be well TO refer the matter to the committee
on foreign relations. In conclusion the SEN
ator paid warm tribute To Dom Pedro the
deposed monarch, and said that there was
certainly lingering feeling Of respect due
him which should prevent hasty action
Morgan disclaimed any responsibility for
any trouble that might arise from the de-
Law
Evarts favored reference, and said it was
not necessary to emphasize American views
ON this question. Ingalls, desired To hear
from the people OF Brazil before acting
McPhcrson Impatient OF Delay.
Mcpherson said that single hours delay
in passing the resolution would DO disgrace
ful % the government, to the senate and TO
the people of the United States. He was
surprised that moment should Ire lost in
saying TO the people of Brazil that they had
the sympathy Of the American people and
congress and that the new republic would
have the protection of the United States, 50
far as IL could be offered
Eustis was OF similar opinion. while Haw-
ley was like Ingalls-he wanted the Bra
lillian people to speak; only twenty-five or
thirty men with army officer at their
head had 50 far had anything to say.
