I've Il, therefore, TO candor, and to the
amicable relations existing between the
United States and those Powers. to de-
clare that we should consider any at
tempt on their part to extend the system
TO any portion Of this hemisphere as dan
gerous to our peace and safety. With the
existing colonies or dependencies OF any
European Power we have not interfered
and shall not interfere. but the Govern
ments who have declared their inde-
pendence. and maintained II. and whose
independence we have. on great consider
alton. and on just principles. asknowl-
edged, We could not view any interposi-
ton for the purpose of depressing them
or controlling In any manner their des-
tiny. by any European Power. In any
other light than as the manifestations OF
an unfriendly disposition toward the
United States"
This was accepted at the time, and has
been regarded ever since as declaration
that the policy of the United States was
opposed to the establishment OF monarch
ical institution upon this continent as a
menace and danger to republican institu-
tons. and though many eminent Ameri-
cans refused at the time to concede any
such doctrine. and though the eminent
Americans who have protested against 1t
since are almost without number, 1t has
always been referred to by many. since.
as a cardinal doctrine of American policy.
notwithstanding which. however. 1t has
few supporters now amongst thinking
men.
The trend Of the thought Of the day Is
towards the proposition that II is OF no
concern to the people OF the United States
what form Of government those who in
habit territory outside Of our Union
choose to have. so long as they leave US
alone with our republican Government
over our own territory. On whatever
other ground. therefore. the intelligent
thought of the United States might be OPP
posed to England or any other monarchy
occupying the island Of Hawaii. no OPP
position will be made to II based upon
the Monroe doctrine" We have no sort
OF fear that monarchical neighbors are
going to corrupt our republicanism. That
is built upon foundations too solid to be
undermined by petty dangers Of that sort.
II, then, we go TO war with England over
Hawaii 1t will be a war based upon some
principle wholly separate and apart from
this, and, as the Monroe doctrine" is
destitute of the energy that would impel
us to annex this island In an endeavor to
exclude a corrupting monarchy, we think
the probabilities of annexation are very
remote. There are so many and such
cogent reasons why we should not annex
that the very poor reasons I'm favor of the
propositions will, we believe. command
but little attention.
